I do appreciate what i think is @mozilla.org's work in providing an option when right clicking for links: offering a "clean link" copy that removes everything after the ? So much easier to share links without having to manually remove campaign tracking parameters each time

Screenshot of a webpage section when right-clicking to save a link and seeing a menu option from Firefox that includes "Copy Clean Link" that removes everything after the ? when copying the link

Still thinking about how @coricrider.com said its not so much “walled gardens” as “cock fighting cages” at #MozFest last week

Cori Crider and Robin Berjon standing in front of a slide showing the arm wrestling meme with “breaking monopoly, enforcing law” on one bicep and “building alternatives” on the other with freedom in between

Hearing @ruha9.bsky.social today set me up for the rest of the year and for 2026, to be building and supporting alternatives that help us all jump from the current cycle’s endgame to a new world we are all welcome to participate and create in.

Ruha Benjamin at MozFest 2025 talking about areas of unlearning

Ruha Benjamin at Mozfest 2025 taking about how the broligarchy wants to destroy democracy

Ruha Benjamin at Mozfest 2025 asking who owns the future (later she explains we all do and own isnt the right word: its create, participate, live in harmony with…)

Ruha Benjamin at Mozfest 2025 saying we don’t need Artificial Intelligence we need Abundant Imagination

Great start to my first mozfest with @robin.berjon.com and @coricrider.com talking about how to break, build and enforce new digital infrastructure for democratic societies

Robin Berjon speaking in front of a meme slide showing democracy drowning and EU Commission doing nothing except publishing an applied AI strategy

Cori Crider talking in front of a meme slide of batman slapping robin saying monopolies need to be broken up to fight fascism

Cori Crider noting that there are more parking enforcers than DMA regulatory enforces working in Brussels

“Breaking up monopolies is a creative act” - @coricrider.com at MozFest. Fascinating, funny and inspiring start to the day

NY post got it right tho

New York Post newspaper cover with the headline “Skimp on the Barbie” after tariffs expected to raise prices of consumer goods like dolls.

A post asking for people to call a US senator to reject an antitrans bill got me thinking about this part of the Jewish museum in Berlin. Its a long series of scrolls each listing laws that prevented Jewish people from participating in society. In 2024, 533 antI-LGTBQIA laws were introduced in US.

A photo of the exhibit at the Jewish museum in Berlin that shows scrolls by year listing all of the laws introduced to prevent Jewish people from participating in society.

Krusty the Klown did it better

This is also because OnlyFans is one of the very few platforms that distributes revenue back to its creators fairly and not to the ceo and mngt of the tech platform

Graph showing ghat out of 6.6 usd billion spent by OnlyFans users, 5.3 billion was shared back to creators and the remainder used to pay operating expenses and taxes, with 0.48 billion recorded as profit

Even @theguardian-mwr.bsky.social has been completely complicit in buffering up Trump. More news space to every little thing trump and vance says and nowhere near as equal coverage on Harris and Walz or even on Harris’ work as VP. And nothing in today’s headlines on trumps racism. Just bothsidesing

Screenshot of coverage of us news page on the guardian website with headlines that equate Harris and Trumps positions (both expected in Pennsylvania, where do each stand on issues etc)

I use this which i guess is a case? and then carry it in a laptop specific compartment of my backpack. I like having a harder encasement to avoid water or damage risks and i love the color.

Im halfway through most of these. For safety they are in the lounge room rather than bedside
