On my way back from #FOSDEM I came up with an idea.
When are we going to replace Amazon?
I put together some ideas in a blog post. I think it's feasible.

In Dec 2012, #Epstein invited #HowardLutnick, now #Trump’s #commerce secretary, to his island for lunch, records show. Lutnick’s wife accepted the invitation & said they would arrive on a yacht with their children. On another occasion in 2011, the 2 men had drinks, acc/to a schedule shared w/Epstein.
#Lutnick claimed he cut ties with Epstein long ago. A Commerce Dept spox said Lutnick had “limited interactions with Mr. Epstein in the presence of his wife & has never been accused of wrongdoing.”

We invest too much of our culture in centralized, for-profit, corporate social media platforms. These platforms enrich billionaires, expand surveillance, and fund the cult of capitalist war, all while trapping us with addictive algorithms that feed us mindless content. […]

how you know you've stumbled across an industrial supply house that will happily take your single-item order but probably doesn't really want it

The push reflects how #RFKJr has swiftly reordered the #CDC’s priorities, & underscores the #Trump admin’s antipathy towards the #RenewableEnergy source. Trump has ordered a broad govt review of offshore #WindFarms & enlisted agencies including #EPA & the depts of #Energy, #Defense & #Commerce to be part of a “inter-departmental coalition team,” RFKJr said in August.

Among the offshore #wind health impacts that #HHS staff have investigated is the electric magnetic frequency generated from undersea cables used to connect power from the machines to the electric grid, one of the people said [Never mind that people are constantly exposed to electrical cables not under the sea]. #Wind proponents say they aren’t harmful. #HHS spox didn’t respond to inquiries.

The list provided phonetic pronouncers for all the Russian men expected at the summit, including "Mr. President POO-tihn."
Pages 6 & 7 in the packet described how lunch at the summit would be served, and for whom. A menu included in the documents indicated that the luncheon was to be held "in honor of his excellency Vladimir Putin."
A seating chart shows that #Putin & #Trump were supposed to sit across from each other during the luncheon. Trump would be flanked by: Secy of State #MarcoRubio, Secy of #Defense#PeteHegseth & WH Chief of Staff #SusieWiles to his right, & Secy of #Treasury#ScottBessent, Secy of #Commerce#HowardLutnick & Special Envoy for Peace Missions #SteveWitkoff to his left. Putin would be seated next to his Minister of Foreign Affairs, Sergey #Lavrov, & his Aide for Foreign Policy, Yuri #Ushakov.
Also Friday, #Commerce Secy Howard Lutnick sent a letter to Alan M. Garber, #Harvard’s president, claiming that the #university had not lived up to its obligations surrounding federally funded #patents, which are worth hundreds of millions of dollars. Acc/to the letter, the agency will begin a comprehensive review of Harvard’s compliance w/federal #law.
The new pressures on Harvard come during a week when the govt had also taken significant steps to bring other schools into line with its agenda.
So they’re letting me host a session the #Fedicon conference on August 1st in Vancouver, CA
I’ll probably ramble about: #Music, #UX, and #Commerce on the #Fediverse
What do you all want to talk about?
