It was never meant to be controlled by a handful of dudes at a tiny number of giant companies. It was always meant to be programmable through janky specs that everybody hurriedly adopted just for the sheer joy of something fun to hack on. That was true long before the web had any version numbers at all."
Great post from @anildash on MCP and it's hopeful role in bringing back the open web culture!

What new cultural experience comes from travelling to Barcelona to queue for eggs benedict at a place called Brunch & Cake? Why travel abroad to shop at Zara or Emporio Armani or eat at a Taco Bell when you can probably do that nearer to home?"
Insightful take on over tourism in Spain!

Catch-y mis-leading headline! Further down in the second half of the article, author clearly shows how this model can never work.

Very good summary of Wynn-Williams "Careless people" by @pluralistic
"Facebook bosses aren't just "careless" because they refuse to read a briefing note that's longer than a tweet. They're "careless" in the sense that they arrive at a juncture where they don't have to care who they harm, whom they enrage, who they ruin."

“I was shocked when this came forward — that a small town like ours would be given Strong Mayor capability,” said Mayor Judy Brown in a news release from the Town of Perth. “While there may be rare situations where this kind of authority could be useful, such as breaking a deadlock, the potential for abuse far outweighs any benefits. That’s already been seen in other communities. I would not support the idea of having these powers.”
