Interesting Things on the Internet: October 28th 2019

• Extinction Rebellion: We Need To Talk About The Future. Interesting thoughts on XR's successes but also what it needs to be doing better and/or differently in future.
• Just enough Internet: Why public service Internet should be a model of restraint. Nice thoughts on better approaches to "digital" for anyone-who-isn't-a-startup-or-corporation (and startups and corporations should adopt more of these approaches too, they just have to resist capitalism screaming at them to do otherwise).
• ‘Impostor syndrome’ is a pseudo-medical name for a class problem. This is a good framing of things. There are times when I feel more an outsider than an impostor. Sometimes that's useful, often it's a case of six and two threes.
• British journalists have become part of Johnson’s fake news machine. The Government is lying to cover up how inept it is, while it tries to completely ruin the country with its version of Brexit. Too much of the media is too scared of losing access to "No 10" that they're failing the voters.
