Finished reading: Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda Montell 📚

Finally got my Wireless Ear Clip Bone Conduction Headphones🎧 and I must say I’m quite surprised, this is really cool, I can even run, they don’t fall, I don’t have to try to make them fit my ridiculously small ear hole that refuse any earbuds, yes even the smaller size… With … read more

Do you know how platforms like Twitter or Reddit are killing themselves by the choices they’re doing?

That’s also happening to Democracies, both by choices being made and lack of actions being taken.

So this was happening and set at the time of the Ronald Reagan era.. But it reads like it’s happening today, now.

Intéressante promenade qui me ramène a mes origines de campagnard atteri en ville comme un alien sur une planète inconnue, tellement de point commun sur la recherche de l’identité, sur le fait d’appartenir ou pas à où l’on vit.

A tool to cross-post from your own spot on the internet to #mastodon #Twitter #bluesky and yes #lInkedin?

This book is like a detoxification manual for the internet age and the era of … read more

At times, we find ourselves undertaking arduous and trying tasks. We embark on these endeavors not because we possess a clear understanding of what lies ahead, but rather due to our ignorance of the obstacles that lay ahead. It’s comparable to running a marathon, where we hold onto a steadfast … read more
