Jennifer OuelletteHow I found a new home online at Mastodon, after giving up on Twitter. More like a village than a city, Mastodon has less cruelty and bad-faith debates than Twitter, in my experience Could it be a social media platform to trust, asks Annalee Newitz. https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg25834340-300-how-i-found-a-new-home-online-at-mastodon-after-giving-up-on-twitter/

@futurebird after living in Australia for most of my adult life I am constantly amazed that the rest of the world doesn’t have compulsory voting like we do here. >99% turnout really gives tru representative government (even though we don’t always like those who win)

@zenforyen @Ruth_Mottram @drgroftehauge @erinnacland @thesiswhisperer @academicchatter the whole thing feels@like it’s turning into an arms race to see who can pad their universities publishing statistics the most at the erosion of value and experience of the PhD candidate
Dan GillmorGreat line from Joi Ito: A lot of Silicon Valley folks think life is a game that they can win, and that you can optimize your way to happiness.
Grant R. GulovsenIf you are a smaller #startup and you are invited to participate in any sort of "innovation lab" or "accelerator" or similar program hosted by #BigTech, be *very* careful and make sure to read the fine print in any agreements that you sign.
