The Luddites weren’t backward technophobes. They saw factory owners using tech to degrade their livelihoods and they fought back — first by trying to negotiate, then writing to Parliament, and finally smashing the machines.

As workers today organize and strike over bosses using digital tech to upend their industries, there’s a lot we can learn from the Luddites’ story. I was thrilled to dig into it with @brianmerchant!

Hey #Baltimore friends! Do ride a bike in the city? Are you mad as hell about illegal sewer drain grates like these that endanger cyclists? Do you want to help beta test a mobile web app for collecting data on bad grates? Hit me up for early access and help me make it as good as it can be!

We absolutely dont give animals the credit for how intelligent they really are.. The more I learn about animals the more I realize we underestimate them.

High in the jungle mountains of Flores Island in Indonesia at an altitude of 4200ft. is one of last remaining ancient and isolated villages in the world. Called Wae Rebo, village has been occupied by the Manggaraian people for almost 2,000 years.

There are eight traditional conical thatched homes called Mbaru Tembong that are occupied by one or more families. Subsisting on agriculture products like taro, coffee, vegetables and jungle meat, their lifestyle has changed little in two millennia.
