In fantastic news for authors and the publishing industry, Penguin Random House is NOT going to appeal the court's decision to block its acquisition of Simon & Schuster. This merger would have seen two of the 'Big 5' publishing corporations combined, giving the new company a dangerous amount of influence on publishing worldwide, having a detrimental effect on authors' payments and readers' choices. SO GLAD IT'S SCRAPPED FOR GOOD.

@stim I didn't think Jesse's take on Mastodon was particularly informed or thoughtful, either.
Though I think he's right that #Twitter's role in relation to #news journalists has been outsized for its audience. That's part of what made it especially attractive to journos: it gave many of them more influence and bigger audiences.
And sometimes Jesse can be bit of a jerk, I think! But...I finally started donating this month after listening for years. Independent news is important.

#SurveillanceCapitalism Spreading In #Schools, Sidelining Role Of #Teachers.
My Take: putting children under 24/7 monitoring, is harmful to natural development + #autonomy.
Ex: intense security (like recent proposal to add armed taser drones + force children to train with them) may do little more than put kids in more fear.
