    Like in Tesla, which won't even let workers unionize?

    My first friend lost to coronavirus: Fr. Jorge, a wonderful priest, loving and loved. Too young. Left home in Mexico to be a missionary in Brooklyn. The Easter Vigil will miss his voice. God have mercy.

    Okay, coming out party: I think those of us interested in justice and democracy need to get out of the Web3 talk. We really should be talking about the DWEB. This is the work of the commons, not VCs. It is about principles, not mere addition: getdweb.net/principles/

    You don’t own “web3.” The VCs and their LPs do. It will never escape their incentives. It’s ultimately a centralized entity with a different label. Know what you’re getting into…

    I guess I'm forced to choose the side with the larger number and proportion of Catholics in it? And living persons? And the only one with a person of color? Thanks for this unintentionally clarifying mailing, @catholicvote.

    Look how good @ntnsndr is at not letting go. This should tell you everything you need to know about his journalism.

    We hear lots from tech leaders about democracy. But to take that seriously, we need to see democracy in their companies. That means democratic negotiation and, in particular, democratic ownership. #sxsw

    We live in a world where there is no policy framework for democratic ownership of the most important spaces for public discourse. But one guy can buy it, sure. And we wonder what has happened to democracy. wired.com/preview/story/…

    Hey, people still in crypto! This is a thread on what it might look like to create a healthy, grown-up parallel economy, a viable alternative to the state and banks. Because so far, it's not happening.

    Have you ever intentionally clicked an ad on the internet? Like, on purpose? How is this the business model behind the biggest companies in the world?

    Always fun when you're trying to promote a book you edited and the main author calls the entire medium into question.

    Question for people who argue that reading long-form books is virtuous or even necessary: Are podcasts an acceptable substitute? If not, why not, and what even is the difference between a podcast and an audiobook? (I frequently listen to both)

    I really should be writing an article on @americamag on this, but an insect infestation isn't allowing time for that now. Here's the thing: Using an abuse and accountability scandal to criminalize Catholic queerness is not okay.
