I love the renewed interest in the best parts of being online. Sifting through the smoldering ruins to build a lasting framework for semantic web like optimistic Alexandrian library curators in 48 BC
This is why web 1.0 was so engaging. It was full of people more interested in the subject than good design.
Was it able to get their passion out there- yes, and that was good enough. Can we do that again? Oh yes. I've got a preferred method that I'm happy to run people through if they want.

We're socialized to constantly apologize for being too outwardly excited about things, but this world is so full of terror and misery that I'd rather see those bursts of light and passion shine through the cracks wherever you can find them.

So @jortscity.bsky.social is the plan for p2w to ultimately have Obsidian devs or someone else host an IoT base of bases and information archive?
My thought: what's the point of p2w if the vaults or pages can't talk to each other? How do we find a common void to scream into?

I often think about how the government hounded Aaron Swartz to death for scraping Jstor, yet all these AI companies scraped almost literally all of human knowledge (and continue to do so even when they're told to stop) and have had no criminal consequences.

Sometimes when people ask me why I’m wearing a mask I say I’m traveling or have some important thing soon and can’t afford to get sick and miss it and that’s pretty much always true but I think it would be nice if it were more normalized to just say “I don’t want to get sick” and leave it at that

So Watson kicked the bucket. My work as a CSHL summer course instructor put me in proximity with him. I was there when he lobbed his phony genetic elitism at a white (East European-looking) student. The public stories you’ve probably heard are just the tip of the iceberg. www.npr.org/2025/11/07/n...
James Watson, who co-discovered the structure of DNA, has died at age 97
James Watson, who co-discovered the structure of DNA has died at age 97. He was a scientific superstar until he made racist remarks that made him an outcast.

Science has faced these challenges before. However, many think manipulation happens through corruption of scientists. Instead, we highlighted a broader range of mechanisms:
-Burying Internal research
-Selectively publishing
-Design bias
-Selective funding and access.

3. While big oil, big tobacco, etc. serve as well-known cautionary tales, social media research poses novel challenges for independent researchers—perhaps most notably, access to the study system itself.
It's like trying to study climate change if Exxon-Mobile owned all the world's thermometers.

White solidarity as the driving factor around Platner's support explains why he's backed by people on the Left, Bernie and Jacobian, but also by moderate Dems, the PodSaveAmerica guys and many Dem Senators. It's not left vs. center, it's white supremacy is unacceptable vs. white solidarity.
