unpopular opinion: the best thing young people can do early in their careers is find an emerging communication technology and gather the free work of others into a central location where you control access.
video game ennui
Hit that point in assassin's creed odyssey where I've completed the main storyline and I'm finishing up side quests...for fun? Enjoyed the game but it doesn't have a clean/clear ending.

Maybe we should stop interviewing vaccine hold-outs and instead profile vaccine recipients and figure out all the cool ways they want to contribute to a healthier society.
2nd vaccine in the arm! Two weeks away from: no limits, no laws. (That’s my understanding.)

Woke up with a way too detailed version of the song St. Elmo’s Fire stuck in my head. Does my brain need to remember the horn parts? I really need to grow up in a different era next time.
tech-culture
A bunch of Substack writers I admire just held a PR event for Facebook and I'm disappointed and I don't want to support their work anymore. Bleh. Makes me think access is bad, actually.

Personally I'm pretty ambivalent toward AMP. On paper, it is just "the web," and based on statements from its fiercest advocates at Google, they're really trying to save the web from itself. But I dunno – if the web "wins" by becoming something that it's not, is that really a victory? Something to puzzle over.
There seems to be a deliberate effort to remove waving from Zoom etiquette and I will not stand for it. Waving is critical communication at a distance and video meetings are at a distance.

I keep seeing prominent Republicans reference Orwell’s 1984. Do they really want their followers to read that book? I mean, I hope their interest is piqued!

Sling sure has my profile dialed in. I guess I can’t cancel as long as NA is on the air.
I gave 15 minutes of my life to home automation and it doesn’t work so I’ll stick with flipping switches like a chump.
