Enshittification is depressing
Everything that was cool is struggling to survive or has become a deranged version of itself

Cory Doctorow coined the word ENSHITTIFICATION & found that a little vulgarity helps people engage with abstract technical questions.
On the Future Knowledge #podcast, he explains why the web became hostile & how we can make it work again.

It's officially #SpotifyWrapped season, so we're flipping the script by unwrapping Spotify. Tell them to drop ICE ads now!
Since Spotify won’t protect immigrant communities, we’re using their own celebration to hold them accountable. Cancel your subscription to get them to pull the plug on ICE

Jeffries: "The border is secure. That's a good thing. It happened on his watch. He wants to claim credit for it, of course he'll get credit for that. In terms of making sure that we actually deal with the issues that matter, including on immigration, there's a lot that's left to be desired."

Just today, Jeffries has praised Trump on his signature issue, and excused a pardon Trump handed to a corrupt Democrat.
He couldn’t be less up to the moment if he tried.

Harris has no reason to lie, and the idea that the election would have turned on a different running mate - especially knowing what we know now - is absurd. ("Selling books." Jesus.) Stonewalling like this happens when the truth comes out. People don't like Shapiro, and there's a reason for it.
