Just now on the phone w @glindsay.bsky.social, we talked about the “unplugging” mouvement. I mentioned how it’s escaping luxury “only” and entering all sorts of other social spheres, professions, et cetera. Something to watch.

Only 40%?! Try harder, Chicago.
Yesterday my partner and I counted all the ads along Chicago's Brown Line for "Friend," a company selling an AI chatbot pendant, and tallied how many of those ads were defaced.
Still working on a longer piece on this, but here's the quick and dirty: we counted 104 "Friend" ads total, 42 defaced.
