Just need to vent for a moment. What is with these chickadees half my age calling every Outlook email group they get added to a "listserv"?! They were barely born when list servs were a thing. Or AITA?

H/t @Killthorne Best New word (at least to me)

There's a battery pack at the end of that, right? Will be glorious. Good luck!

@EnochianEntropy Led to some lighthearted banter that hopefully removed the bitter taste.

@EnochianEntropy 🤣

@EnochianEntropy sure, Jan.

@EnochianEntropy um, was it something I said?

@WuzzaDiva wow wow wow.

"the idea that there is an anti-conservative bias on Facebook is like saying there was an anti-cocaine bias at Studio 54"

@Madken65 Too true. We see this rot of short term thinking everywhere: government, housing construction, extractive resource industries. And we not only tolerate short term thinking, we laud it. I got mine! Anyone who dares ask "but at what or whose cost?" is derided, or at best ignored.

Ok, enough gloomy morning thoughts from me. Time to get my day in gear. Thank you for your summaries of the day's news and thoughts. Always appreciated.

@Madken65

The situation presents a clear example of why we need independence between branches of government. One hand governs, regardless of or in coalition with ideologies, while the other investigates and prosecutes crime - - again without focus on political ideologies. No executive directives, no sacred cows, no preferential treatment.

My mom enjoyed coloring and puzzles and Uno when her ability to focus dwindled. All of these have large pieces versions for uncooperative hands.

Any updates pending on the machine? Rebooted recently? Is there actually a camera on your machine. I don't have one, and I am not allowed to change the setting either:

@evamarie

Hard agree. Zuck took a good idea and monetized it, imposed random and/or indiscernable ethics on it, blamed "algorithms" for intentional programming choices. Blech. If there was ever a time when they deserved to monetize my eyeballs to pay for the platform, it has long since gone.
