On Joe Rogan’s podcast, Mark Zuckerberg criticized Apple’s lack of innovation, conveniently ignoring that Meta’s most successful products—Instagram, WhatsApp, and Oculus—were all acquisitions, not inventions. https://www.theindex.media/on-joe-rogan-zuckerberg-throws-stones-from-a-glass-metaverse/

Today, I'm launching The Index: Truth in an age of noise. It's an independent, un-compromised news, editorial and op-ed site. Zero VC funding. No billionaire owners. No advertising. Entirely funded by myself and my readers. Here's why. https://www.theindex.media/a-letter-from-the-editor-why-the-index-is-choosing-reader-supported-journalism/

This is *very* much an MVP. But. Manifesto is a long-form blogging platform that allows zero images, supports markdown and is intended to be text only. Importantly, posts will be able to be published either under your own name or anonymously; and posts can only be published by users who hold 50,000 ANON or DEGEN. https://manifesto.press/posts/c9b48ce9-2623-4a44-b74d-bef95cdd502b

Some thoughts on free speech. And why everyone is wrong. It’s not a binary between restricted and unrestricted. https://youtu.be/tbL1XF7Png4?si=knjIZclkjOGC3cMV
