By far the best coverage (that I've seen) of the Sam Bankman-Fried trial is by @molly0xfff --

This is disgraceful that Elizabeth Warren has come out and support a flawed yet true censorship bill in #KOSA which would be a death blow to LGBTQIA+ voices everywhere if passed into law. https://www.techdirt.com/2023/10/03/senator-elizabeth-warren-supports-bill-to-silence-lgbtq-voices/

For those somehow out of the loop, I encourage you to read these two great pieces posted below:

By the @eff, which delivers two of them: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/05/kids-online-safety-act-still-huge-danger-our-rights-online
https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2023/09/get-real-congress-censoring-search-results-or-recommendations-still-censorship

I have eaten
the honor
that was in
this place

and the esteemed deeds
you were probably
commemorating
here

forgive me
they were a message
a system of messages
and so important

How are we still reading headlines in 2023 about some crypto project getting hacked users losing hundreds of millions of dollars? 🤦🏾‍♂️

Binance is hemorrhaging executives as regulatory heat intensifies, Sam Bankman-Fried's parents are now embroiled in the FTX bankruptcy (and soon criminal case?), and crypto companies continue to all be bankrupt and suing each other. Despite all that, some think now's the time to try to get people excited about crypto again with reality shows and celeb ads. Catch up:

I hate it when you follow a link to a really great blog post and you're two paragraphs in thinking oh my god this is really good but then a modal popup window from substack asks you to subscribe to this newsletter and you have to hit "continue reading" to finish and then you wonder if this great blog entry will last on someone else's service that may not be around in a few years

If you like schadenfreude and entertainment, and seeing the #crypto shills and fraudsters called out, I can't recommend @molly0xfff 's newsletter enough. Engraving the keys on a steel plate to survive armageddon and then....losing it.... is just the funniest bit of this week's edition.

Absurdity levels off the charts this week. Read about SBF's request to be released from jail and returned to his parents' house, a crypto custodian failing at their ONE JOB, and how best to describe your NFT project as an unregistered securities offering.

Saw the awesome @molly0xfff of @web3isgreat featured in the current U.S. print edition of WIRED. Appears to be a minor update of the article that ran earlier this year in the UK edition, with a different photo and headline.

a computer can never be poked in both eyes three stooges style. therefore a computer should never make a management decision

Something that’s awesome about @molly0xfff : on this day when everyone is talking about that other indicted guy, she continues to cover her indicted guy

Pundits and influencers even many journalists are weather vanes to whatever the discourse is doing today. Call it a Wikipedian’s instinct to keep your page up to date, or just old-fashioned journalistic integrity, we need more of this

Hey folks, I have left Netlify and am beginning to look at what's next for me. Things I enjoy doing:
• building prototypes
• teaching
• writing, especially technical writing
• architectural synthesis (what should the system look like)
• organizational problem-solving (what should the org look like)
• analysis (what does the data say we should do)

I'm especially interested in companies doing interesting things with LLMs. If you think there's an opportunity I should hear about, let me know.

"Getting rid of physical books because we now have databases is like getting rid of sunshine because of the existence of vitamin-D pills and cod liver oil." --love that.

a plea for keeping physical libraries available. (but it is key to remember that all living library collections include materials that come and also go)

My next book is The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation: it's a #BigTech disassembly manual that explains how to disenshittify the web and bring back the old good internet. The hardcover comes from Verso on Sept 5, but the #audiobook comes from me - because Amazon refuses to sell my audio:
