"other folks I met throughout the week learned about it from posters wheat-pasted around their neighborhoods"

@bruces I loved this passage:
The companies that once aimed to make good products and postured as democracy-loving and progressive now open ally themselves with fascists, actively enshittify the internet with slop, and force-feed us annoying AI features that nobody wants. In response, the new Luddites seek not to abandon technology entirely, but build new infrastructure that embraces proximity and in-person human relationships, instead of alienation and doom-scrolling.
I loved finding this in my inbox yesterday! Reminds me of some of the street theater in the 1970s and 80s.
