244 partners, seriously?

I just scroll the news on a website, and each single tap and scroll will be shared with 244 other data brokers?

And then these motherfuckers dare to complain when people like me start using NoScript, PiHole, AdNauseam and uBlock to protect my privacy?

We're resorting to extreme solutions because THEY have completely lost their moral compass!

This account has been too light on #goats lately, so here’s Daisy.

Friend: What are you doing this weekend?

Me: Nothing

Friend: Great, can you come and...

Me: You misunderstand... I'm doing NOTHING all weekend.

Friend: Yeah, that means you'll be free.

Me: No it doesn't

Friend: But you're doing nothing

Me: Exactly, a whole 48hrs of doing fuck all except what I want.

Friend: Why?

Me: Look my free time is not an invitation to intrude upon and assume that means I will drop everything to do what you want

Friend: But you're doing nothing

Me: Exactly

A complete stranger took my Kitchenaid mixer on, fixed it, and delivered it back to me, all for a $20 tube of degreaser and some thanks.

Repair Cafes are amazing, and they're all around the world -- look in your community for a Repair Cafe for things you can't fix.

I'm so thrilled. It was a gift from my stepmom and my brother did an idiotic job of packing it when he shipped it to me, which broke shit.

Dude not only repaired things, but fabricated a new knob for me.

Most humans are good.

It’s done!! #quilt #sewing

When did working oneself to the bone, sacrificing mental and physical health, become a badge of honor? When did rest and enjoying what we collectively create become something to be guilty of? This is not sustainable.

Adopting Unconditional #BasicIncome can restore balance in our toil-centric society.

I'd like to make contact with someone who knows about pedestrian navigation for the visually impaired. Can anyone intro me? If not pls boost to your networks

Watching Top Gun on Netflix and amazed by the filter jets landing on aircraft carrier using that hook and wire thing, and am again astounded by the sheer overwhelming number of people who spend their lives and $billions inventing extraordinary stuff so politicians can make one set of young people kill another set of young people.

When a government attempts to discredit The Hague, it's a sign something has gone terribly wrong in that country. My latest:

It seems that the entire analysis is developed starting from a modular and mechanistic perspective which is very suitable for machines but very little for human life. In the article, life is conceived in the light of criteria such as competition, optimization and mere survival, neglecting what for humans is the basis of every action: intentionality (why? with whom? against whom?...). In terms of mere survival, a sophisticated neurological evolution is not even necessary: jellyfish have existed for thousands of years without any particular evolution of their nervous system. Last but not least, artificial neural networks and the entire paradigm of Artificial Intelligence were founded on the Kantian perspective of thought and life, a legitimate choice from a research point of view which however greatly restricts the possibilities of understanding the phenomenon of life, reducing thought and reason to the emerging product of logical operations (Boolean algebra) carried out through the mechanical dynamics of logic gates.
