‘Everyone got paid’: How Wippa’s pro-teen social media ban group cashed in on its success
36 Months accused ban critics of being paid off by big tech. Meanwhile, it was lining up sponsorship deals, eyeing global expansion and coming up with its own AI tool to sell.

The fact I can’t buy one of these in Australia - or even the hybrid version - and we give tax breaks to drive giant SUVs is nuts. (TBC I don’t want a tax break.)
Trump’s kind of right. We should make smaller “kei-cars” here. Imagine if you could buy a $15k-$20k EV here, like Japan’s best-selling Sakura.
Smaller cars, smaller batteries, lower costs, less mining, more mobility. Better road partners for bikes & buses.

This $15,000 Nissan Kei Car Is Japan's Best-Selling EV
It's nice to see a cheap car winning. Unfortunately, though, Nissan probably wouldn't have too much luck selling it here. Americans hate small cars.

I know it’s very popular at the moment but I think “enshittification” is insufficient a term for what’s happening right now. This is not a gradual diminishing, it is a leap off a cliff, it’s a system in free fall.
My employer, Dartmouth College, today boasts it's 1st Ivy "to launch AI at an institutional scale." It is doing this by partnering--"more than a collaboration"--with Anthropic, a company that stole the books of many faculty, me included, which many of us are suing.

Each 10-centimetre increase in a car’s front height increases the risk of death for a child by 80 per cent. Drivers still flock to the larger models.
