Record 1,000 UK taxpayers under 30 earned more than £1m last year https://www.theguardian.com/money/2026/feb/14/record-1000-uk-taxpayers-under-30-earned-more-than-1m-last-year #Money #UkNews #SocialMedia #Hmrc #Accountancy #DigitalMedia #TheSuperrich
Attensity brings the grass roots, arts focused revolution to get our attention back on what it should be on - our lives, the real, the analog, our communities.
I especially like this quote: attention, taken to the highest degree, is the same thing as prayer (Simone Weil).
Overall it's a good approach - except it misses using technology to free us from attention-consuming #socialmedia behemoths. Tools like #mastodon remove the profit-motive and advertising from the mix, making a real difference in my life.

@jeffjarvis This journalistic commentary has one big fail: She doesn't mention the #Fediverse / #Mastodon being a real chance against toxic algorithm-driven social media.
And like so many colleagues she doesn't mention any alternatives to #Substack like #Ghost or #Steady.
