"The essence of Buddhism is, if you can, to help others. If not, then at least refrain from hurting others" - Dalai Lama XIV

Five years ago, #MeToo was born.

Four years, 364 days, and 23 hours ago it was first asked, "has #MeToo gone too far?"

Tonight I've asked Stable Diffusion to generate 250 different pages from the 1987 Radio Shack catalog.

I’m enjoying all the #dogsofmastodon pictures! Here’s our Teddy after his last haircut. He wasn’t pleased.

Anyone want a weekend pass for #PaxUnplugged?

I'm looking for someone to play REAP for a few hours per day and you can do whatever at the convention the rest of the time!

Email me at JasonAnarchy@DrinkingQuest.com if interested!

Next semester, I get to teach Philosophy of Technology, and I have only one objective: teach students that "social media" does not "cause" anything.

Yes, you heard that right, I'm going to teach them that social media does not have agency, but is instead given agency through how users use the platform and interact with one another on the platforms. Hopefully, this will cut down on the "social media causes..." or "due to social media" takes.

Please enjoy this photo of Max and Min for #caturday.

Call your reps! Legislators are trying to sneak a truly horrendous bill that would make the internet even more garbagetastic into a year-end funding bill. Details:

Mastodon is not an ad-driven platform. There is absolutely zero incentives to let awful people run amok in the name of engagement. The goal of Mastodon is to build a friendly collection of communities, not an attention leeching hate mill. As a result, most Mastodon instance operators have come to a consensus that hate speech shouldn’t be allowed.

I love this book so much. I used to read it as a kid and then when I became a father I started reading it to my children. Beginning in utero.

It is such a silly, fun book. I want more kids books to take you on a funny journey like this classic.
