"After working as Reuters’ Ottawa bureau chief for five years, my job was eliminated... When I crossed the border, it didn’t feel like a homecoming. America today is as foreign to me as Italy was in 1998, when I started working there as a foreign correspondent. It is a darker place now."

"The individuals responsible and the meaning behind the graffiti have not yet been identified."
Um, they literally wrote their names down the side of the building ... and the point was to make their names as visible as possible. It's graffiti, not rocket science.

The intentions of the oligarchs are fully exposed and more blatant than ever.
But remember: We outnumber the oligarchs.
Aw thank you, dear friend 🥰 It was definitely one for the books! Wishing you the absolute best for the new year ✨️🫶

Social portability would let you take your posts and followers with you the way you keep a phone number when switching cell providers. Hard to enshittify a system users can leave.

Reagan gutted competition law in the US. Fewer rivals or regulators made the “umpire weaker than the players." The last US privacy law was in 1988 to stop video rental records leaking. Canada froze privacy law in the early 2000s and gutted enforcement during the Harper years.

Cory Doctorow, author of “Enshittification,” spoke at Ottawa Writers Fest about how platforms like Twitter, FB, Amazon decay in predictable stages under weak regulation. First they treat users well to build dependence, then reward businesses paying to reach that audience, then services rot for all.
