@doctorow: Interesting new work by @. What is chokepoint capitalism? According to Cory, it's when a monopolist locks up audiences inside a system that they control, and uses that control to gouge artists, creating toll booths between creators and their audiences. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@bcmerchant: This is great. Cory's new book argues tech monopolies use 'chokepoints' to exploit writers, artists, musicians & others by locking them & their audiences onto their platforms. Both the book and, it seems, how you can get it—crowdfunded, DRM-free—show ways we can break through twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Can't wait to read the latest from @ and @. Troubling that Audible wouldn't carry the book without any embedded "digital rights management," but that seems to be a microcosm of the problem that the book is all about. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@rachelsklar: My next book is *Chokepoint Capitalism*, co-written with @: it's an action-oriented look at how tech and entertainment monopolies steal creators' incomes, with detailed, shovel-ready plans to unrig creative labor markets and pay artists:

@doctorow: Can't wait for this book from @ and @ . This is definitely something fellow YouTubers and creators should read when it's out twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Cory @ + @ have a twofer—a book about ‘unrigging’ the market for creative workers / artists, and a practical example of how (particularly in books / audiobooks) unrigging may work: twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Cory Doctorow is a dude you really, REALLY, need to read and follow. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Feels counterproductive to pre-order this on Apple Books but pre-ordered nonetheless ✅ twitter.com/doctorow/statu…

-VP Pence refused to get in the car with USSS to leave for reasons he has not explained

@doctorow: This is a fascinating and very important topic. I'm looking forward to reading this book! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Anyone who reads my writing or watches my TV and Film things that improbably get made, should be able to deduce I'm a giant fan of Cory as a person, as a prose writer, and as an activist. I'm 100% on board with this project, and I urge you to check it out. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Really looking forward to this from @ and @ . You can support in various ways via kickstarter. Follow the thread below. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: I spent much of my time on this hellsite resisting the urge to retweet @'s entire timeline, so I'm very interested to hear what this book has to say. A better, un-choked world is possible. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Excited to read this: how tech monopolies sap creative workers’ power and how creators can fight back (ofc crowdfunded to sidestep said monopolies) twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Looking forward to reading this… scroll down on this thread and check out why the need for an audio book kickstarter… twitter.com/doctorow/statu…

@doctorow: Nice example of living as doing, @ writing about control in creative industries and using kickstarter to crowdfund a drm free audio book of the same. Looking forward to reading the book twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: It will surprise you not at all to know that Cory @ has found himself in a principled fight with Amazon over his new audiobook, written with @. Audible requires DRM on their audiobooks, and controls up to 90% of the audiobook market. Cory is opting out (con't) twitter.com/doctorow/statu…

@doctorow: It’s cool to see @ doing another audiobook Kickstarter for this book — very fitting for its politics and message. I’m also thrilled to see my friend @’s great work on copyright reaching a much wider audience! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Instead of complaining about the platform monopolies, Giblin and Doctorow's "Chokepoint Capitalism" gives creators clear, actionable alternatives to surrendering our value to 'the man,' and building the people-driven society our networks were developed for in the first place. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Thank you @ for this! As an audiobook narrator with lots of questions I will devour this book! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: This sounds incredible and critically important. Looking forward to reading and applying what I learn. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Well, this looks interesting. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Ooooh! Exciting & necessary project from @ and @ Read the thread and to understand how and have just been stepping stones. Ahead—if we’re up for it— the grand prize —> twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Interesting! There is definitely a movement right now to move away from the big platforms, or at least reduce their power over our creative businesses. I've backed the Kickstarter! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Collateral effects of concentration are increasingly significant in comic arts challenges, as not acquiring/distributing potentially controversial material becomes standard across platforms - looking forward to what @ & @ suggest re next steps. /jt twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: i definitely can't wait to read the next book from @ and @ . this is such an important discussion to have about "new capitalism" twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Definitely one I'm looking forward to.. @ is an essential voice on monopolies, tech, entertainment and how they screw over artists and creators! Note that he won't play the ad/surveillance/tracker game. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: This new book from @ and @ is at the very top of my to-read list — two of the sharpest thinkers addressing a crucial set of issues for creators. Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: I've been a fan of @'s writing for years... wide and varied topics... with a mischievous glint in eye knowing that it's up to you to take that knowledge and do something with it. My wife and I just had a discussion about this exact topic two days ago, so a timely tome. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Really looking forward to reading this - a different starting point to chokepoints than my and @ but I am expecting that there’ll be a lot of unexpected convergences. twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: I’m gonna grab this book today. So many choke points in the current corporate environment it’s amazing anyone can get any oxygen anywhere. I’m certainly experiencing a few myself in getting my film into the world. @ nice work!! twitter.com/doctorow/statu…
@doctorow: Tengo la suficiente edad para recordar cómo Internet, que nació con la promesa de ser una nueva suerte de comunes, era rápidamente monopolizada, cercada y reclamada por las grandes empresas tecnológicas.

A dream told her where to dig. The bone-dry, blazingly hot year of 1540 had parched some marshland she knew, and that’s where Anna Schmidin headed, probably from her home village of Eppisburg in Bavaria. Her vision offered remarkably precise coordinates, and she zeroed in on a pot exposed by the receding waters, among the desiccated sedge. It proved unexpectedly heavy, and it’s satisfying to imagine that the mud beneath was still soggy enough for it to pop free with a squelchy glug. When Anna c.

@POLITICOEurope: 1540 was a grueling year for Europe's climate.
Temperatures spiked over 40 degrees Celsius; forests and towns burned to ash; rivers ran dry; and cattle died in their droves.
Unfortunately for us, it sounds all too familiar to what we're seeing in 2022.
