It doesn’t matter. Give it three months. America can only be trusted to be untrustworthy at this point.

I could only make one word. Nothing else seems to work and is very frustrating. Needs more instruction. I love these sorts of games but the mechanics of the interface are not clear to me.

Ah, the late-come pearl clutching from outside academia. Not sure how there can be a measurable increase of 100%

This is hilarious, but Signal is far better and not under the loving gaze of the Zuck

Agreed. Time to be grown ups and put our big country pants on.

When your last parent dies, you are an orphan.

RIP, mom. You were a tragic, fucked up person who was a terrible mother and a worse wife, but god damn you were an amazing, creative, weird as hell person and I’m going to miss you until the end.

Now I step into an unknown country. Excelsior!

The billionaire owned media is all corrupt. It has to be. Regulatory capture. A democracy cannot truly exist without a free press at the core. Any system without a free press is some form of dictatorship.

If America is the first great experiment in large-scale democracy, the Eau is the second. Each has its flaws and at the same time each is beautiful.

We need a free press It’s vital for democracy that we receive verifiable information that is not manipulated or controlled

β€œJust three companies, News Corp (Murdoch family), Daily Mail & General Trust (DMGT, Viscount Rothermere) and Reach plc, control over 80% of daily newspaper circulation…

The hyper-rich continue to invest huge sums in acquiring control of media”

We need a free press - ie free from the billionaires.

My resolution is to return to reading. I was mad for it until smartphones.

I hate my washer/dryer thing. It’s a UK beast that no sane American would buy. I hate it but the idea of trying to figure out a better one is more of a nightmare than using it. I will say that it’s an undying beast so it has that going for it.

I’ve had people think that because I like a single song that I must be a band’s #1 fan. It’s a strange condition some have that 1 like = insane adoration.

Like for most things, I blame the internet.

Influenza is the same (airborne, killsnpeople). I’ve accepted that people don’t care and believe in medical magic. Mask up for yourself is all you can do.

I won’t give a single one of them any clicks or time. I don’t trust state-billionaire media to state the full truth.

Then people will choose to enforce the law themselves, which is not a great solution either.

And support local independent press too, like London Spy, etc.

I rarely wear makeup, so much so that the eyeshadow compact I bought in 1995 is still going strong. If people don’t like how I look they can look at someone else. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

I fold the TP into triangles in random public loos so the next person in feels just a little bit special.
