"We therefore suggest that one of the most pragmatic anti-capitalist things that one can do is to push for any organizations that you might be involved with to participate in the standards development process.

I've drafted a policy but don't plan to publish it until or unless we get clarity on if and how it will apply to small sites like ours.
It's genuinely a very big deal for a cricketer to score 40,000 career pro runs (Sachin was the 16th & last man to have made 50k, 29 40-49k) - Kohli sits on 39,994 shortly to join the greats in his next IPL game, first 40k man since Chris Gayle made it https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/most-runs-in-career-284266

Here's a very fundamental question about #AUKUS: https://nickcohen.substack.com/p/trumps-true-enemy-isnt-china-or-russia #auspol
