Yesterday, Elon Musk told Twitter employees that he plans to let users send crypto to each other alongside “normal money.” Said he expects that “the payments side of things will probably be more valuable than all the rest of Twitter combined.” theverge.com/e/23237488

Your occasional reminder that you can read Asimov’s or Fiyah or Fantasy & Science Fiction Magazine or Lightspeed or Analog on your phone instead of this transphobic hellsite

bloated idea: a "progress bar" at the top of an article goated idea: being able to highlight people's names throughout the article (e.g. "Mr. Schmidt") and having a pop-up with their initial descriptor (e.g. "a Brooklyn-based landlord") so you can easily remember who everyone is

I’m absolutely gutted to read this @TaylorLorenz story about misogynistic online harassment from a TikToker against a student journalist who profiled him. Weaponized online harassment threatens press freedoms and poses an existential threat to democracy washingtonpost.com/technolog…

Online mobs are now coming for student journalists

The experience of an Arizona student journalist highlights the growing threat that online harassment poses to journalists, especially those just starting out.

I hope I live long enough to see the fruits of Captcha's research into whether there can ever be consensus about which squares include traffic lights.
