Nobody on LinkedIn has ever had a bad day. Every setback is a "growth opportunity." Every firing is a "new chapter." Every complete professional disaster is framed as "excited to announce." These people would describe the Titanic as "a bold pivot to submarine operations."

Mark Carney at Davos - 1

You may have seen the coverage of Mark Carney's speech at Davos, but if you haven't watched it in full then I would recommend sitting down for 18 minutes and listening to his decryption of the contemporary 'Rupture'.

Carney provides a powerful analysis of the world: the first & last thirds are vital listening if you are interested in International Relations & their contemporary character.

This is absolutely awesome! The @leavex campaign now has their website up an running, so we can see exactly which members of the EU parliament still support Musk's disinformation platform X, and avoid voting for them.

I hope @leavex expands to add every national parliament — the disinformation has to end.

Se their excellent overview here:

Please boost this to support the campaign.

There's still this widespread misconception that the EU mandates cookie banners on all websites, and that is just plainly untrue.

Most websites do need a few cookies to function properly. And those are perfectly fine according to EU legislation. It is only the malicious cookies for tracking purposes that require consent.

All those cookie banners you see on the web are examples of malicious compliance with EU law. The operators of these websites want to track everything you do because they want to earn money off of that. That's why they implemented technically unnecessary cookies, and that's why they have to ask your consent when you visit their website.

The important takeaway is: the EU regulation isn't the problem. The profit motive is. And the shitty things it makes profit-oriented companies do.
