“Because the truth is, tech doesn’t have an image problem. It doesn’t have a message problem. It has an intention problem. What’s wrong with the axe murderer who broke into my house is not that he hasn’t successfully persuaded me to buy into his narrative. What’s wrong is that he’s trying to kill me with an axe. Similarly, when you launch a product that’s designed to put millions of people out of work, block access to sources of verifiable truth, replace human creativity with slop, and lower the barriers to every sort of atrocity, the problem isn’t that you haven’t told the public a good story about those things. The problem is that you are trying to do them.”

We’re each of us alone, to be sure. What can you do but hold out your hand in the dark?

Happy Memorial Day

tumblr’s aesthetic decision to hide ads behind the posts in order to more distinctly tell them from posts: great! when I see a static image I keep scrolling, wouldn’t wanna accidentally see an ad👍👍👍
