This is definitely an Orwellian take.

I laughed out loud with this one.
RIP #Vangelis
#BladeRunner and its #music score had both a profound impact on me as a teenager, and they still give me chills.
Ah, that new literary genre: _“I messed up real bad and my #cryptocurrency vanished in a matter of minutes, life's tough, apologies to everyone who lost a few bucks or a few millions”_…
Fediverse:
do you know of a reliable, robust study or paper out there analysing how the 🇬🇧 #UK feared after #Brexit (discounting the impact of #covid, of course)?
I was wondering how quality of life (in the broadest sense) improved or worsened there because of Brexit. Life expectancy, mental health, productivity, real purchase power, unemployment, GDP, crime, etc.
We've seen in the media infinite anecdotes and minute data points — in both directions; I want something painting an unbiased, comprehensive picture instead.
Cheers!
Dear EU, could you please stop trying to kill end-to-end encryption?

Puedo entender que haya gente a la que le moleste que Twitter vaya a estar en manos de un millonario. Lo que no me cabe en la cabeza es inviertan tantísimo esfuerzo en quejarse (¡incluso en TV!) en lugar de promocionar Mastodon.

Volume III of #Proust's “In Search Of Lost Time” feels like lost time indeed. I'm barely one fifth through it and I can't see the end. It feels like I've been plunged into it for a very long year. Directions of use for some medicines are more thrilling than this.
…so far.
@ignaciodenuevo, parece que @CSIngobernable y tú teníais razón en denunciar que el desalojo de #LaIngobernable fue efectivamente ilegal:
A tip, maybe useful for others:
#Substack is great. But #email is definitely a crappy way (at least for me) to find and read (a small subset of) my favourite thinkers' posts.
This has been nagging me for a while.
I just confirmed that Substack publishes #RSS #feeds (just append `/feed` to the “home” view of any publication). So I'm unsubscribing from almost everything, and adding the feed to my #Feedly instead.
