So many stories of tourists getting apprehended by ICE lately. And student activists, too. For lots of reasons, I don't know that I'd encourage anyone to visit the US right now. Or be a student here. Or invest here. This is not a good situation.

If you're in Austin, visiting #Fediverse House at 412 Congress Ave today and tomorrow is what you need to be doing. I don't think you need a #SXSW ticket - just show up and meet some of the key people building and thinking about this network for all of us.

SXSW &#039;25 - About Flipboard

Flipboard and Surf are hosting the first-ever Fediverse House at SXSW to explore the world of decentralized social media.

21 years ago, I started writing an open source social networking platform. Since then, it's been run by teams of very smart people who have continued to evolve it through various phases of the web. This year it fully joined the #fediverse. I'm a bit proud - but mostly of the amazing people who took this project on and made it their own.

Sometime over the last few years I completely stopped listening to podcasts. I just don't have time for it. Maybe it was becoming a parent; maybe it was something else. But I don't get where it fits into anything else.

The original, exciting promise of the web was to redistribute publishing power from the few to the many. We need to return to that spirit of redistributed equity.

The web was always about redistribution of power. Let's bring that back.

It's time to rekindle the movement.

Excited to read this story raising the alarm about American snacks illegally entering the UK market because their ingredients are harmfully toxic. Luckily in America we believe in BUSINESS and CHOICE which means people can get CANCER from CHIPS if they want to.

I know I've been slow on this, but I was a New York Times subscriber until today (for the games and the recipes, mostly). This graph was the final straw.

If you were taking a team out for an interesting group activity in NYC one evening, where would you go? Trying to avoid the usual / generic choices (although last time we did an escape room and it went surprisingly well).
