Rats. Now that Copa's over I have to think about the rotten old world again, huh?
For the newsletter this week:
Prodigy for Monday; the new African confederation (the Alliance of Sahel States: Mali, Niger, Burkina Faso) for Tuesday; a GamerGate retrospective for Wednesday (ten years this August!); and a rumination on what our digital world could have been for Thursday.
Plus catch-up tasks for Patreon and BookTube.
But mostly, I just want to fast, reboot a proper sleep schedule, and run. 👌🏻

Oh I am looking forward to what you have for the gamergate story

The gamergate was a testbed for coordinated online harassments

Yep! Now you're getting to the heart of what I plan to write on. The thing is, folks outside that world really still see it as a minor, niche event in our sociopolitical history, even though it shaped a lot!
