  Down in Texas there’s a place called Proto-Town that is a newly established community built along the lines of a business incubator. It’s a bit stranger than that though. The people who set out to do this want to create a new society. Instead of a “back to the land” movement, they’re a “back to hardware” movement. https://www.msn.com/en-in/news/world/the-texas-town-backed-by-ivanka-trump-s-billionaire-brother-in-law-at-the-frontier-of-tech-elite/ar-AA21H5Gc?ocid=finance-verthp-feeds #tech #socie...

  RE: https://mastodon.hongkongers.net/@cbcsk_mirror/116466045955880573 Dumped wet and momentary on a dull ground that’s been clear but clearly sleeping, for days. Last snow melts as it falls, piles up slush, runs in first light making a music in the streets we wish we could keep. Last snow. That’s what we’ll think for weeks to come.

  TikTok users are listening to Anita Ward’s 1979 Disco hit ‘Ring My Bell’ in the belief that it will bring them good fortune.

  I came across a comic book artist on Instagram (pacorodriguez_art), who I’d never heard of, who draws Disney comics. Really good stuff, all drawn the traditional way on paper. Turns out he’s been drawing Donald Duck for over 30 years for comics published in Scandinavia, Netherlands, and Germany. There’s a recent interview where he discusses, among other things, what isn’t allowed by Disney (no socialism, no toilets): https://arsnotoria.com/2025/09/01/a-conversation-with-paco-rodriguez/ #comicboo...
