This kind of bs is harmful b/c it devalues the meaning of words: if everything is white supremacist, then maybe white supremacy isn't that bad after all?!

Why would this org want to make constructive dialog impossible? - Power and profit.

But I'm a counter-revolutionary.

The best part of Twitter is knowing that anything you say is spoken into a void and, in all likelihood, nobody will read it.

Just got a very annoying German ad in an English podcast. Apparently @Spotify offers infrastructure to distribute ads even to premium users. - You pay for an ad-free (at least annoying preroll ads) experience and they still give you ads. - Smart!

Jesus, who is this ad even for?? Does $MSFT really believe corp IT depts are so dumb they're swayed by "Mila"? - Skip Why, What, and How, and go straight to "Mila"?

Good lord this is terrible. Both the cheesy ad and this concept of "the future of employee experience"

I don’t know who needs to hear this but:

Bitcoin is the biggest breakthrough for the environment since photovoltaics. It provides a way for anyone to make money from energy sources that are stranded. Think solar in the middle of a desert.

@jauntywunderkind420 dask (python library for distributed computing) does this. Not sure if the user is *supposed* to look at the graph, but it's very easy and clean and doable.

Disclaimer: last version I used (~ 2017) was buggy as hell.

So here’s what’s been going on with me.

I’ve been helping my partner clean out their childhood home, within which their widowed mother had been living alone and hoarding all manner of things for roughly a decade.

After learning that she hadn’t been treating her diabetes or fixing the plumbing for half a year and local relatives were treating the situation with something close to criminal neglect, my partner came back to right the course of the whole situation. I’m now here too.

So @amazon announcing that it will no longer sell books with "material we deem inappropriate or offensive" makes me wonder if they'll start with The Bible, The Koran, or The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.

Many blockchain supporters are incredibly optimistic and imaginative.

You can tell by their enthusiasm for projects that are mere descriptions and promises, unable to be actually used for any of the purported purposes.

My Twitter/Instapaper workflow:
1. Someone shares a link on Twitter. Open the thing.
2. Go into the address bar & manually remove the silly "?s=09" thing at the end
3. Save to instapaper.

If you skip 2, the damn thing gives a 404. wtf?!

@lolitsnotreal_ there are non-iron shirts. I own several. What weird kind of conspiracy is this??

Over the past year I’ve willingly traveled down the rabbit hole of PKM. Using multiple apps & software opened exciting options for managing linked thought processes. The realization? I believe what was experiencing is merely a precursor to the standardization of a new form of OS
