Wild story in Wired.

Soon the national and international media was flooding in, trying to understand who and what the “Zizians” were. A “trans vegan death cult”? An “offshoot of the rationalist movement”? An “antifascist cult”? Anarchists? The events were immediately sucked up into the maw of the culture-war machine, recycled as a story of wokeness gone wild, a story of police overreach, an immigration story, or one about the inevitable product of an anti-trans culture.

My framing: another cautionary tale of what happens when we sacrifice wisdom on the altar of intelligence.

Who do I know that would be great at (and willing to) give design feedback (mostly about layout) on an informational 1-pager?

🛡️ In case you needed another reason to use Signal:

📚 ebooks.com (unlike Amazon and Bookshop) show you clearly which are available in DRM-free format. See here.

Are there other sites (that are not super-niche) that do this for ebooks?

📚 In the USA, Amazon is removing the only (mostly) reliable way of backing up your books (“Download & Transfer via USB”) by Feb 26. One more reason to go elsewhere, and to buy DRM-Free.
