- Elizabeth Stice: You Think This Machine’s Your Friend, But It’s Not. A reason to rewatch You’ve Got Mail (1998), which I remember as being significantly worse than the movie that inspired it, The Shop Around the Corner (1940). (ᔥJohn Brady)
- Janan Ganesh: When business and democracy don’t mix. Ganesh agrees that capitalism and democracy are in fact at odds, as noted in the last paragraph of this blurb on Enshittification.
- Doc Searls: Shitting Us Not. Similar topic to the above, with a delightful new (to me) word: fecosystem.
- Bryan Vartabedian: Medicine as the last uncompressed profession. On the unmeasurables of medical practice. Of course, medicine is not the last such profession as any live performer can tell you, it is just one of the last ones that is still in demand and for a list of the others still standing I recommend the wikipedia page on Baumol’s cost disease.
