The Man in #Seat61 seems like a relic from a forgotten age of the #Internet.

Seat61.com is a genuinely useful website created by just one guy, a train travel enthusiast who has curated a vast array of information that will help anyone who would like to travel in #Europe by #train

He is not trying to sell you anything and there are no adverts (apart from a few affiliate ids).

His website has won various "best travel website" awards. Notably the last one was in 2012.

How to travel by train in Europe & worldwide: Schedules, fares & how to buy tickets.

This is a New York Times headline, but it could easily be an Onion parody of a New York Times headline:
From AOC, a good comment on bluesky tonight:
Terry Moran worked at ABC for 28 years. Then, within moments of calling Stephen Miller “hateful,” (which he absolutely is if you listen to his own family), ABC fired him under pressure of an authoritarian hypocrite who ran on “free speech.” The chilling effect this will have on other journalists cannot be ignored. Today, authoritarianism advanced, and the Fourth Estate miserably failed.

Did you know it’s not just two journalists who’ve been shot while covering the LA anti-ICE protests?

It’s many more. They appear to be targeting the press. Trying to silence them. Dissuade them from reporting on what is one of the most important issues America is facing.

Does the country want to submit to a fascist authoritarian?

Or do they want to fight back?

LA has chosen to fight back. And journalists are showing up to cover it. As they should.

Adam Rose is keeping a running tally on a thread on Bluesky. Highly recommend checking it out.

here’s some of the injured:

Ryanne Mena, shot with pepper balls

Sean Becker-Carmitchel, hit multiple times

Anthony Cabassa hit in face with chemical munition

Ryanne and Sean were hit again the next day, with a tear gas cannister

No name has been given but reports of someone from KTLA being hit with less lethal ammo and going to urgent care

Lauren Tomasi hit with less lethal ammo

Nick Stern shot with less lethal ammo and requires emergency surgery

These people were clearly identifying themselves as members of the press

They were there to do their jobs

And at least in the case of Lauren Tomasi, there’s video evidence which appears to show an officer taking clear aim and firing directly at her

Say their names.

Speak up.

The public need to know the risks the press are taking just to attempt to bring truth to the masses.

The Regime have been attempting to silence, sue and throttle the press since day one.

We shouldn’t tolerate any direct attacks on them.

Apparently, if you have facebook or Instagram installed on your phone, #Meta was able to track your browsing habits and link them to your real identity even if you never logged in on the web, used incognito mode or a VPN. I hope Meta gets hit with every fine in the book.

“Localhost tracking” explained. It could cost Meta 32 billion.

You just can't finish off Zuckerberg.

Zero Party Data
People who rely on a higher authority to tell them what's right and wrong don't actually have a sense of morality. They only understand subservience.
I'm actually optimistic that the generation of kids who grow up with LLMs will internalize the lesson that confident authority has absolutely no correlation with competence or correctness. That's a world I'd love to live in.

AI doesn’t help you work less or get paid more, but does destroy the environment and climate.

Study looking at AI chatbots in 7,000 workplaces finds ‘no significant impact on earnings or recorded hours in any occupation’

Despite AI’s promise to revolutionize white-collar work, most workers are using it sparingly—or hiding it from their boss.
