That seems bizarre lol.

"Allergic to ads"

Yup. Sometimes I'll turn off my filters if something breaks and then get startled by an ad popping up...

I appreciate her telling it like it is and not bowing to a pressure to please.

Found an article speaking more about it, if anyone is curious about the context/her work.

"Can you finish this in the next hour?" "Nope!"

I need that kind of confidence.

You say that, but...

I just got an email from my building saying that someone has been smoking weed in the hallways and in apartments (with shared HVAC); it reeks. It's a smoke-free lease.

The first floor is a daycare center for kids with special needs.

I guess some people really need to be told that these things are not okay.

Nope, sports betting was decriminalized a few years ago. And everything got so much worse.

I don't know her, but good for her. NPR is a valuable resource, but we should also do better in demanding their reporting quality to improve. They've been doing a lot of sanewashing, too.

I'm reading Cory Doctorow's latest book, Enshittification. As Ed Zitron said, never forgive them for what they did to the internet...

It drove me nuts, found the original.

Algorithmic flattening will be the death of me. Everything is homogenized and made palatable for the masses, either that or engorged to extremes to capture the last neuron that still has an attention span.

I remember people trying to bring awareness about Darfur 20 years ago.

Not much has changed...

Is this what having a stroke feels like?

Improper handling of pertinent evidence is what got Alec Baldwin a mistrial. It is seriously impactful.

It's not people's houses anymore. It's all property investors.

Well, they did get them to switch to USB-C, so I'm not holding my breath, but I do hope that this will lead to more interoperability. I'm tired of Apple making Android/non-Apple users feel like second-class citizens.

And now the ones in my area are shutting down because B&N somehow is able to open new branches.

Yeah defeatist mentality suggests he's still playing the game.

I'm surprised that Sweden allows individuals to donate that much. Million dollar contributions from a single person should not be legal anywhere.
