With the Radio Free Europe 2025 EP arriving in record stores this Friday (and @RFE.RL's mission still as vital as ever), we’re revisiting our We Are Hope Despite the Times playlist — a collection of songs that offer a little light through the static.

For over a decade, my Foundations of HCI undergrad course has covered “privacy & surveillance” with a (2002) reading about the Panopticon and a once distant warning about how social media sites could create a self-censoring reality. And Ellison is just… owning/celebrating the dystopia.

Scott Horton @robertscotthorton.bsky.social · 26d

Larry Ellison envisions a surveillance state in which techbros rule. '“Citizens will be on their best behavior, because we’re constantly recording and reporting everything that is going on,” Ellison said in an hour-long Q&A during Oracle’s Financial Analyst Meeting last week.'

You guys, so many Romance girlies are reading "On Tyranny" that they've broken the Goodreads recommendations algorithm. 10/10; no notes.

We're witnessing the culminating rot of shareholder capitalism in real time.

Some of the most powerful corporations in America have sided with an authoritarian regime in order to protect their short term profits — the fundamental rights of everyone else be damned.

korean reporting is nightmarish on the conditions Korean workers were contained in

Their waists and hands were tied together, forcing them to bend down and lick water to drink. The unscreened bathrooms contained only a single sheet to cover their lower bodies. Sunlight barely penetrated through a fist-sized hole, and they were only allowed access to the small yard for two hours. Detained by US immigration authorities for eight days, the workers and their families expressed shock, describing human rights violations and absurdities they could not have imagined as ordinary Koreans living in 2025.

Props to @larrysmiller.bsky.social for empowering @newyorkuniversity.bsky.social students by booking diverse speakers to show them that they are more than enough & so much more! 3/3

Emily White @emwizzle.bsky.social · Sep 10

Like clockwork, I am always approached by a ton of extraordinary students telling me they don’t feel they’re “enough” in some way. My confidence comes from growing up in an all-gender sport, so start that young! But when it comes to school & career - representation is queen. 2/3

Thanks to the wonderful @larrysmiller.bsky.social for inviting me to be #NYU #MusicBusiness’ first Fireside Chat speaker of the year. The students asked some of the best questions I’ve ever received!

We also still have a lot of work to do on instilling confidence in femme people of all ages. 1/3

While we don't comment on elections, a cap on ticket resales is an idea that artist groups like us have strongly backed in multiple states! Momentum is growing; DC's City Council is expected to consider a bill with a 10% price cap and penalties of up to $10,000/ticket sometime soon.

The Athletic @theathletic.com · Sep 10

EXCLUSIVE: New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani is calling on FIFA to end dynamic pricing on World Cup tickets.

His petition “Game Over Greed” also demands that FIFA reinstates a cap on ticket resales and sets aside 15 percent of tickets for local residents at a discount.
