[nonostantement #412] - internet end / presidential pardon / public social media
Now with MORE mental health warnings!
Welcome to nonostantement: a weekly newsletter with plastic, draconian, and fair stuff found all over the Internet.
Hello, my name is Joele and today I am writing to you from the south of Tuscany, even though I usually live in Barcelona. Every Sunday I send this email to my friends. It contains the most interesting things I find on the internet during the week. I have been doing this for more than seven years.
No music this week.
