Wait! After ten months of fretting, I think I’ve finally worked this out! (Also this is the first time in ten months I’ve been back here. The road to hell, etc…)

Lovely. BTW I have no idea who you are—mctvt is too obscure!

Global Assault on Public Interest Journalism and Fight for Digital Sovereignty Industrial-scale misinformation about South Africa's laws on land and black empowerment

My latest piece:
With Trump’s unfounded & bizarre executive order still ringing in our ears, it may seem quaint that SA's media sector is eagerly awaiting the Competition Commission’s Media and Digital Platforms Market Inquiry provisional report. More 👇

It’s refreshing to hear—and crucially important to pay heed to—voices from outside the fetid, metastasized horror show that is the Trump/Musk version of the USA. Thank you!

Hey Lynne—yes, the hybrid life seems to be the way to go for the time being. And it's about to get more complicated in that Bluesky is releasing their Instagram competitor tonight! In other news—I've moved up to Montague, MA, where my over-the-road neighbor is Marina!

No pleasure in any of this, sadly. Even schadenfreude is a casualty of these mofos. How’s Ireland?

What’s next? National Parks? All Native American lands? All bets are off.

First Bluesky peeve: I don't like the fact that I can't see peoples' real names. It's all fine if your BS name is Joe Bloggs, but if it's bloggyJ26 I have NO idea who you are, and I'm not particularly inclined to pay much attention to (or follow you back). At least Facebook got THAT bit right.

Don't get me started. A little seig heil, then I'm humming Deutschland Uber Alles, and before you know it I'm ready to invade the Sudetenland. I mean, uh, Canada.

Why the unseemly rush?

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, then (clearly) it's a Nazi.

Childhood Hero In which life comes full circle almost fifty years later...

Hello Bluesky! For my first post here, a link to something I wrote about meeting a childhood hero in the little village in Massachusetts that I recently relocated to.

Gastrofascism? How can one not be fascinated? Wait—I just noticed the common root of "fascist" and "fascinate". Hmm.
