Considering the recent trend toward media monopoly, I hope you won't mind me shamelessly promoting my newsletter, Brief Ecology. It's part #journalism, part #scicomm, part #political education. It's also free to read.
If you're interested in independent, ecologically-oriented writing, maybe check it out:

This 22-minute short film was made by the US Army just after the Second World War, warning about the tactics that Nazis use to gain power.
It's baffling how many parallels there are with current political developments. I think this video should be shown in every school around the world.

A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.
'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

Despite Meta's stated commitment to crack down on harmful content, it failed to catch tens of thousands of ads that used false claims and deepfakes of political figures to collect users’ sensitive personal data or bait them into monthly charges.

Maybe you remembered how I was exited to start with my #cut some time ago announced in this post: https://mastodon.social/@TheGymNerd/112398702432080250
This is how it's going.
* Multiple new projects at work
* #cat needed surgery
* #EU election & Mass surveillance almost happened in EU
So you didn't saw much #gym and #fitness content from me and maybe more #political stuff... I'm sorry if that annoyed you. But I felt this was important.
But I have a new #workout plan. I could imagine talking about in future.
Did you know #Project2025 calls for “the entirety of the CISA #Cybersecurity Advisory Committee should be dismissed on Day One.” (page 155).
If you like being able to use computers (or do anything with organizations that use computers, including have your vote counted in elections) that’s a very bad idea.

Online discourse: "You have to convince me to vote for Joe #Biden"
Why? I don't like Joe Biden. The idea that anyone has to convince you to fall in love with Joe Biden is as absurd of a #political assertion as the #MAGA cult and #Trump, that #politics is about #passion
We don't view politics as a love affair. It's #tactics. And more importantly, it's your #social #responsibility to vote
#Abortion, #TransRights, the #ClimateCrisis, etc: issues you care about, or should care about
But #Gaza...
