@thomasfuchs The "suggestion line" ?

The Costco theory of the internet:

People are tired of infinite choice.

They want fewer decisions, higher floors, lower bullshit, clearer standards, and someone competent enough to throw the garbage out before they arrive...

After months of me telling everyone Palantir wrote C-22 the Toronto Star finally released a report detailing the secret contract between the Canadian government and Palantir. They will execute the surveillance.

While we're in chaos anyway, why not try a little mutual-aid anarchy, as a treat?

if you have ever edited Wikipedia (or, I would say, edited any of the Wikimedia Foundation projects, like Wikidata), read this.

I have nothing but respect with what Wikipedia achieved, but unionization is another human co-creation we should have nothing but respect for.

Someday I’ll go to bed on time. Perhaps many years from now. Anything is possible

@bling good question - I reckon it isn't, but you'd need to dig pretty deep in the ABS website to find out to be sure!

It was in the high twenties in our bedroom last night, I didn't sleep very well and am a bit of a zombie today and Charlie didn't sleep at all. Seriously considering trying to figure out how to pitch a tent in the garden (it's tarmac which is the issue) and decamping to that. A friend of mine just shared a picture of a thermometer showing it was thirty degrees in her room when she woke up.

UK housing just isn't built for these temperatures, and as the climate warms this is just going to exacerbate inequality unless we do something about it. No one can perform well on exams or at work after nights like that. Some disabilities make people more vulnerable to heat, and disabled people are more likely to be living in poverty and unable to afford mitigating measures.

Greetings, followers of my reader! This is @pluralistic writing to you, and your friend has very nearly finished reading my excellent 2025 book, #Enshittification, available at finer bookstores everywhere, as well as on monopoly electronic retail sites that should be condemned to the scrap heap of history.

U.S. President Donald Trump's Board of Peace has no cash in its official Gaza reconstruction fund, a source familiar with the board has said. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2026/05/28/world/board-of-peace-gaza-fund-empty/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #middleeast #israel #gaza #israelhamaswar #donaldtrump #us #boardofpeace
