I'm going to be switching to a personal account. You're free to share my writing and ko-fi for donations since I'm still trying to move and I still will talk about mutual aid.
Vox Media has sold @polygon, its gaming and entertainment site, to Valnet, owner of ScreenRant, GameRant and Android Police, @theverge reports. Some staffers will stay with the publication while others have been laid off. At the second link, find a story from @TheWrap about Valnet's questionable treatment of writers. “Everyone is underpaid, overworked and really pretty — extremely — exploited,” a former Collider contributor said.

Interesting read…
"Capitalism has entered a radical and apocalyptic phase. There is no utopian vision in any of this. Instead, there’s a final battle. And this is where it gets really dark. The people who are advancing this agenda are also building their luxury bunkers and their spaceships to Mars. They don’t believe that there is a future. These people believe history is ending, literally."

I read this with interest…
"Billionaires think that they're the smartest people who've ever lived, because they're the wealthiest people who've ever lived. If they were wrong about anything, then why would they have been so financially successful? […] They believe that everything can be quantified, like a person's IQ, and that money is a good measure of how much someone is worth."

House Committee Leader to Investigate Agency for Preferential Treatment of Politically Connected Startup

The probe comes in the wake of a ProPublica investigation that revealed the General Services Administration was eyeing a tech firm with strong ties to the Trump administration to remake a massive, $700 billion federal credit card program.

Spotify announced earlier this month that it would publicly display how many plays podcasts had, and podcasters were not happy. Now the streaming company has rescinded the feature. Kind of. Read more at @theverge. #Spotify #Podcast #Streaming #Tech #Technology https://flip.it/eRwQQE

They may share a suffix (and a protocol), but Blacksky isn’t hitching its wagon to the Bluesky app or team. Founder and CEO @rudyfraser.com is creating a new, fiercely independent playbook for communities — one made possible because of the flexibility of the open web. We're excited for you to hear the latest episode of @mike's Dot Social podcast:

I believe it is one of our missions, as antifascist nerds, to break the myth of an inaccessible and complex technology. The tools, services, and software we all use everyday are the more or less indirect outcome of broader socio-political and economical dynamics. Therefore, we can and we should bring forward a massive resistance as we do on other fronts.
How do we do burst the bubble?
How can we practically unmask the politicality of technology to people outside the digital sector?
How do we popularize digital media critique?
What forms of art, workshops, and formats could take advantage of?
On Wed 11 June, at 14:00 UTC, I will be hosting an online round-table session with @transparenttech to discuss and try to answer these questions.
I will be briefly sharing my experience and my ideas after making Knitting Our Internet. Above all, though, I want to welcome any kind of contributions to address this mission in a multifaceted, intercultural, intersectional, and decolonial way.

If you believe what you see on social media, the entirety of Los Angeles is overwhelmed by violence. In fact, the protests have been largely peaceful and small — and much of the false information has been fueled by misleading videos and false claims. @CBSNews breaks down the misinformation that's circulating, from a video game clip purporting to be news footage to conspiracy theories about George Soros supplying protesters with bricks.

Picked up this book from the used bin of my local bookstore yesterday: You Are Not A Gadget by Jaron Lanier. Written in 2010 but very prescient and relevant to our current techno cultural world. It examines the ways in which software and technology shape thought and society.
