Journalists know that losing the Wayback Machine would be a nightmare: www.wired.com/story/the-in...

Column | I broke up with my Kindle. My new e-reader treats me better. After Amazon's Kindle removed my ability to download and back up my own e-books, I went in search of an alternative.

Amazon’s Kindle e-book download & back-up restrictions gave users the push they needed to consider alternatives. Our Communications & Campaigns Director @liaholland.bsky.social spoke with @washingtonpost.com about privacy concerns as users make the switch.

IMO what Flock really needs is a superbowl ad.

Me in an art noveau dining room looking all studious with my notebook.

Out on the edge of the world doing book research and having the docents show me how they would hide things in the walls without destroying the lathe and plaster. 💘

So little, so late. But it's still a beautiful fucking day.

Preserving The Web Is Not The Problem. Losing It Is. Recent reporting by Nieman Lab describes how some major news organizations—including The Guardian, The New York Times, and Reddit—are limiting or blocking access to their content in the Internet Ar…

“We cannot let this regime of data-supercharged fascist witness intimidation become the new normal. It is time to ban facial recognition for good and banning ICE from using it is a great start.” – ❤️Fight’s @liaholland.bsky.social

Also all LeGuin's space stuff.

Right away I think of Monk + Robot series from Becky Chambers, short & sweet...but knowing you I also think that looking to the past would be interesting—rec The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity by Davids Graber & Wengrow.

Also more solarpunk. Hey @chrisrmuscato.bsky.social got recs?

Rapid Response Networks in the Twin Cities The rapid response networks people organize to defend their communities have undergone a whirlwind evolution to keep up with ever-shifting ICE tactics.

Cannot recommend this read enough. crimethinc.com/2026/01/15/r...

Quote graphic that has an orange background and black font quoted from Lia Holland at Fight for the Future that reads “The conduct of DHS and ICE Agents in the streets of Minneapolis is a preview of the tech-supercharged oppression that we will all face if ICE is allowed billions to build a panopticon. They are already using personal data to intimidate witnesses and deploying warrantless surveillance dragnets across communities. What will these goons do with weapons-enabled drones and real-time facial recognition behind every Flock camera and Amazon Ring doorbell? Let’s never find out.”

We’re urging lawmakers to do everything within their power in order to block ICE’s reign of terror in our communities and halt the build out of surveillance tech infrastructure that will make it impossible for everyday people to do anything at all w/o Big Brother watching.

Wanna experience one of the most bizarre and outrageous sagas from my time at @fightforthefuture.org (...so far)?

Read today's piece on @linkletter.org's absolutely legendary legal heroism against garbage surveillance company Proctorio.

Thank you for this story, @ashleybelanger.bsky.social

Reading the stats on how ICE is grabbing people in OR this week mostly by pulling over immigrants in cars, and shaking my fist at everyone who ever believed for a sec that surveillance = safety.

Democrats are preparing to sacrifice our ability to organize online for a hollow political victory, and this impending collapse of digital speech protections will cripple social movements at the very moment they are proving most effective.
