We are deeply saddened by the loss of Greg Newby, who led Project Gutenberg ( @gutenberg.org ) with passion and purpose. Greg’s belief in free and open access to knowledge continues to inspire us and so many others working to preserve our shared culture online. gutenberg.org/about/newby....

This is something I’ve noticed in every form of media-if it’s not an immediate dopamine hit, no one is interested. I find it very frustrating, as it leads to an inability to think critically and really dig into the things that you consume, which then leads to art being treated like a product.

finished all of the new shows i’ve been watching, now sitting with myself trying to avoid going back to The Office lmao

One thing I hope we can do as Bluesky gets larger is be less tolerant of the resistance grifters who will try to hack the platform for engagement and growth without any interest in adding anything substantive or meaningful

It’s a different kind of troll.

This is how you become a writer: just pick one of the things that is deeply wrong with you. Make it a character. Now send it on a self-help journey or try to kill it. Now call it a book.
