Shade-of-Lost-Dreams, my character for @leightonc.bsky.social's Dolmenwood campaign (they have weird names in that setting).

The Angine de Poitrine Argument for UBI Why Angine de Poitrine's viral microtonal math rock KEXP session, Ireland's permanent basic income for artists, and Albert Einstein are three sides of the same human triangle

"The paper is essentially a mathematical proof that a world with universal basic income is more meritocratic than a world without one, because luck-based distribution — which is what we have now — throws away most of the talent in the room."

While Congress Ponders Cutting Spy Powers, the FBI Amps Up Domestic Surveillance A vote on FISA is getting headlines, but the FBI may have ways to keep using the tool

So now there's a secret judicial ruling that even if Congress votes to end FISA (which it won't), the FBI can keep spying on U.S. citizens without a warrant.

Trump Reverses Himself, Joins Obama and Biden in Demanding "Clean" Renewal of NSA Domestic Spying Powers In 2024, Trump urged Congress to “KILL FISA.” With a vote upcoming this week, he now demands its renewal with no limits or safeguards, and he has ample Democratic support.

" One would think that people who believed that about the American President would want to rein in rather than hand him virtually unlimited spying powers."

The Internet's Most Powerful Archiving Tool Is in Peril As major news outlets cut off the Wayback Machine, journalists and advocacy groups are rallying to protect the Internet Archive’s vast collection of web pages.

With many newspapers closed & no clear path for local public libraries to preserve digital-only reporting, the work of safeguarding journalism’s record increasingly falls to
@archive.org - and their ability to preserve knowledge for the public good is under attack

Just got an update on a Kickstarter I packed during Zine Quest 2, which if my math is correct was in 2020. They swear the game's going to be delivered any time now. Don't think I'll start holding my breath just yet.

They've fucking cancelled Cesar Chavez? Someone really needs to find a way to redirect that energy into something constructive.
