For a while I liked techdirt so much that I started sending them money. After a couple of weird AI articles I decided my money is better spent elsewhere.

Cops being scared is definitely a US phenomenon. They even get acquitted of murder if they say they were scared.

I bought the Made in Palestine CD a few years ago. This is my favorite song: Beast by Jowan Safadi

I've been listening to every Kurt Vonnegut audiobook I can get my hands on - novels, short stories, and biographies. The best part is always Vonnegut's own commentary when it's included.

I drove past a Twin Cities #Tesla dealership around noon today. The lot was full of cars, including several of the stainless steel dumpsters, but the place looked utterly deserted.

Measles to the south of me, measles to the north. Here I am stuck in the middle with you (and everyone else who's trying to stay healthy)

Gig apps for nurses are positively dystopian. Sign me up for the class war.

@forteller
First Zuckerberg then this zoom guy. Why do filthy rich guys think people want to attend meetings with a bunch of avatars?

@cstross
"Unauthorized Bread" is an entertaining short story about a fight against enshittified toasters. It's in Cory Doctorow's fantastic collection, "Radicalized".

I've liked everything I've read of Camus'. I most identify with his philosophy of the absurd

@aral
I would like to make a webpage that can take user input, run a small simulation and present the output. I've been slowly learning #Angular and will be happy to bail on that. Can you recommend anything?

This reminds me of some excellent advice I got years ago from a 3M engineer in my army reserve unit. At the time I didn't know anything about computers, but for some reason I still remember it: Use a magic marker to draw a diagonal line across the edges of your computer punch cards so if they fall on the floor it's easier to reassemble them.
