Oh, and of course, as an added bonus, it distracts from the story that the Narcissist in Chief is a PDF file.
Retaliatory Tariffs? Better strategy: legalize jailbreaks to target the Enshitification Barons that put Trump in power and liberate the internet from America's Monopolist Tech industry. Cory Doctorow's call to adversarial interoperability arms. media.ccc.de/v/39c3-a-post-a…
The Journalist who originally broke the Epstein story was being tracked by the DOJ of Trump the First. Somebody needs to explain why.
BREAKING: We won an Anthem Award for the #SpoonfulOfLaughter campaign!! Co-created by Dancing Fox and diaTribe: Curiosity, compassion, and connection are kryptonite to diabetes stigma; comedy is the Trojan Horse that gets all three inside the city gates. anthemawards.com/winners/lis…
"The Stories we Share" was my subject for the Stronger Roots Conference in Prague yesterday. Incredibly inspiring to hear so many stories of hope from these champions of democracy, freedom, and a just and empathetic civil society.
And now for something completely different. The wonderful Hilary Barrett interprets an I-Ching reading I cast in 1982, which nudged (or shoved) me to join Greenpeace. Who knew a 3,000 year old book could say "DUH!?!?"

Today I learned: About the "Millennial Pause." A Tik Tok phenom that separates people who grew up on video as a staged, prepared, analogue, professionally shot and unspontaneous form and the Gen-Z ers for whom immediate-on phone video is a native format.

Trump's Government is corrupt. Shut it down, Dems, shut it down.

On the train home from working with teen Junk Food activists Bite Back I discover Oli, who was in my workshop yesterday, in my news feed today via the BBC. That's Culture Jamming.

On the Eurostar, preparing a training for the A-MAZING young activists of Bite Back. Their #CommercialBreak campaign is pure campaign improv: they flipped the refusal to run their award-winning ads into a people-powered pivot. #EverythingIsAGift
A book that was written when I was 4 years old would one day change my life. Bill McKibben on Rachel Carson's Silent Spring.

The 1985 spy story of how the French Secret Service bungled their way across New Zealand to sink the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in order to "anticipate" her protests against nuclear weapons testing in the Pacific. slate.com/news-and-politics/…
This is satire as nonviolent direct action. South Park episode goes meta with outrageous (1 of 50) taunt to parent company Paramount & Trump to cancel it "for financial reasons." #ColbertLives

Paramount cancels Colbert for "financial" reasons. In unrelated news, Paramount's Star Trek has cast a new Captain, with Donald Trump set "to boldly go someplace where, frankly, a lot of people tell me, a lot of people, that nobody, and I mean nobody, has ever gone before."
Until Dancing Fox worked with #HopeAndHomesForChildren, I generally thought orphanages were a good thing. They really opened my eyes to the need to get kids back to family, and not "warehouse" them in institutions. This story from Ireland is shocking.

If they come for Colbert, they'll have to get past the millions of us for whom he's the last bastion of sanity, essential therapy, and the light of hope. Pitchforks at dawn, people. #Paramount #CBS # Shakedown @colbertlateshow

A lot of us elder hippies know exactly where they were on this day 40 years ago.

It ain't 4 dimensional chess, it's Improv Donald - the improv game where when he hears the bell, he needs to make a new choice - for example, "I hate dogs" 🛎️ "I hate cats" 🛎️ "I hate authoritarian narcissists" #Improv #Trumpmemes #Trumpsucks

My personal definition of a civilized city: not just no need for a car, but the same care and attention for the alternatives that car infrastructure gets.
