I was part of the 45% of the Washington Post newsroom recently laid off by the economically struggling Jeff Bezos. Over at BlueSky, I posted free no-reg archive links to 15 of my favorite stories from the past four years. Thanks for reading! https://bsky.app/profile/joemenn.bsky.social/post/3mfn7fnnfac27

Here we go. Free, no-reg versions of favorite stories from my four years at the Washington Post. First, three pieces from our Pulitzer-finalist series on how India's ruling party coerced U.S. tech giants into violating their own policies. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/09/26/india-facebook-propaganda-hate-speech/

I'm super excited to finally have my Geodesic Dome project complete. It's now a cosy study space at my University Library, perfect for winter study. It's made from upcycled cardboard from TV boxes and corflute from local election signage, and held together with zipties and tarp eyelets. To make the design, I 3D modelled it in Rhino software with the Polyhedra plugin, then put the model into Pepakura papercraft software to create paper templates that were then hand cut (alas, no laser cutter!)
