Here's a thread about the books I read this year!

1. "Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" by Michael Wolff. Yes, I hate-read this book in a matter of days. Problematically, Bannon comes across as an articulate, insightful source and not an arch nationalist parasite. Will Wolff's depiction be hagiography in the future?
2. "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 1: Racial Oppression and Social Control" and "The Invention of the White Race, Volume 2: The Origin of Racial Oppression in Anglo-America" by Theodore Allen. Who knew how important Bacon's Rebellion (1676) was to the history of racism?

Bored with the #internet? It's a common feeling. Let's take a look at a few internet alternatives to while away those hours where you pretend you're working...
#AlternativeInternet no 1: The 1972 portable microfiche reader. It's like a library in your briefcase. You still have a briefcase, right?
#AlternativeInternet no 2: Dial-A-Disc (1980). It also tells you the cricket score up to 7pm - double bubble!

Latest episode of so-called “alt-lite” e-celebs demonstrating what shameless, disingenuous parasites they are (THREAD)
(2) About a month ago, QFD censorship went into effect and crippled right wing Twitter.

A group of ordinary people in the dissident right and the MAGA movement came together, put aside our differences, and started a petition against it.
petitions.whitehouse.gov/petition/call-…
(3) We pushed this petition relentlessly under
#StopTheBias
and reached out to everyone we could think of to help break the blockade of QFD censorship.

Ordinary Trump voters stepped up and helped out enormously. But none of the various e-celebs we contacted lifted a finger.

Thread (1/7): @TheEconomist published a Special Report Titled "Fixing the #Internet", which relied on #Centralisation as its core lens

Huge victory for a technical community that has spent decade explaining how the architecture & ethos of the internet are under attack.

6 arts!
2. "But like Sir Tim, many people have recently become more critical of it (...) At the heart of their disenchantment, this special report will argue, is that the internet has become much more “centralised” than it was even ten years ago."
economist.com/special-report…
3. #Decentralisation is ultimately a question of #democracy. As digital technology penetrates society ever more deeply & the two become ever more intertwined, the rules of the former will increasingly govern the latter" economist.com/special-report…

Surveillance Valley on sale today. Read about the internet's origins as a counterinsurgency weapon: an early warning radar system for human societies — from the Vietnam War to the Tor Project.

surveillancevalley.com/buy
From the legendary historian Stuart Ewen:

"Defying common Internet tropes that present a battle between valiant and independent rebels versus omnipresent state and corporate powers, no one comes out of this book looking clean."
Fans of the Tor Project and other USG-funded privacy tech might want to pick up a copy — or actually, you probably don't. It won't give comfort to your myths.

Tor would never disclose possible security weaknesses to the federal government before telling its users, right?

5 #FCC people can change the Internet as we know it forever. #NetNeutrality #SaveNetNeutrality #SupportTitleII
Since we all express ourselves online nowadays, shouldn't the Internet, by extension, be part of our #FirstAmmendment rights? #NetNeutrality #SaveNetNeutrality #SaveTitle2
How can it be an "information service" when phone is increasingly moving to the internet with VoIP and ppl stream radio and television? This is not 1996. The Internet has changed. It is now our main form of communication and needs the Title 2 protection phone & radio got in 1934.
