After 15 years of Twitter, Cambridge Analytica, and now new medical research finding kids can be negatively affected. I am still astonished at how easily so many seem willing to make the same mistakes all over again without ever asking "is any of this socially beneficial? Are we doing this wrong?"

Humans!

Please don't send us any more unsolicited nude pics with instructions on how to get to your house.
It's creepy.

A new episode of the #Wikimove #podcast came out earlier this month, focusing on #decentralization within the #Wikimedia movement

https://www.wikimedia.de/wikimove-site/podcast/episode-11-decentralization/

"Our guests explain where these concepts [of decentralization and subsidiarity] came from, and why they are central to the future governance model. We explore what decentralization could mean in practice for areas such as fundraising, software development and advocacy."

WHO COULD HAVE KNOWN?!

A new report alleges widespread sexual abuse by the Catholic clergy in Illinois. Will conservatives call for a ban on minors in churches?

Rampant child sexual abuse is occurring in churches — not at drag shows https://www.msnbc.com/the-reidout/reidout-blog/illinois-catholic-church-child-abuse-rcna86289

Lighthouses are no longer maintained by actual lighthouse keepers. But, if you could, would you be one? (Assume living essentials, a modest income, and four weeks off every year are part of the deal.)

I’m grateful that we have a president who honors and pays tribute to our fallen heroes, and doesn’t consider them “losers” and “suckers.”

Centralized media endangers us all.

Tonight, as wildfires tear through communities in western Halifax, Canadian broadcast television has been showing us Alberta election coverage. Even the CBC is giving us a national television feed (though CBC radio has been covering things, at least).

We saw the same thing during the overnight mass shootings in 2020.

The elimination of local, real time news media is going to get people killed. I'm beyond sure that it has in other communities. Maybe it even did here 3 years ago.

By focusing on Confederate contributions, they obscured and downplayed the role of African-Americans in establishing Decoration Day, which later evolved into Memorial Day.
