I am angry. I am angry because I am sad. I am sad because the world is not what I was promised. At least not what I believe I was promised. The disappointment is swallowing me.

This video is gold. The Norwegian Consumer Council entertainingly satirising the crappy tech that is making things increasingly shitty.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨

We think this week’s episode might appeal to a few of you here, because we’re speaking to the founder of this very platform - @Gargron - about his decision to step back from the helm and the future of ethical, supervillain-free online communities.

The sentence that inspired most of my humble resistance, was the one I read by the author of Nepenthes:

“I’m just fed up, and you know what? Let’s fight back, even if it’s not successful. Be indigestible. Grow spikes.”

We've recently gained quite a lot of new followers here on Mastodon (Hi, everyone!)

If you're wondering who we are... We make a weekly podcast and newsletter about Europe that

- isn't boring
- isn't just for people inside the Brussels bubble
- celebrates a Europe much bigger than the EU
- covers politics and policy but also European book, tech, film and TV recommendations
- is rigorously fact-checked but doesn't take itself too seriously

Check us out in your pod feeds!

I don’t think the lie is what threatens the truth. I think not telling the truth is worse.
But it seems to me, that the truth tends to surface on its own. The question is whether you can wait for it.

🚨 NEW EPISODE 🚨

For plenty of people, Mastodon already solved the “ethical alternative to X” question. But the debate isn’t over. We dig into Europe’s social media ambitions with platform “W”, plus North Sea wind power and a great chat about mobility with Katja Diehl.
