"Our lives are tough enough as it is, I'm not looking for ways to get rid of the few things that provide relief and comfort. I mean, on the contrary, I'm looking for more comfort, because the world is very abrasive. I mean, I'm trying to protect myself, because there are these abrasive beatings to be avoided, everywhere you look."

#TIL about @TechFreedom;

"... a three-session programme for social purpose organisations who want to understand their technology risks and do something about them. Working as a small cohort, you'll audit the tools you rely on, explore practical alternatives, and leave with a plan for reducing your dependency on Big Tech."

We need something like this in Aotearoa.

#HatTip to @dajb for linking me to the blog post where I found a reference and a link to it.

#Listening to Philosophy of the World, from the 1969 album of the same name by The Shaggs;

This album makes Pure Guava era Ween sound like classical music by comparison. But it has an off-kilter charm that instantly appeals to me

#HatTip to Curt Cobain for championing this album, and the #KEXP podcast The Cobain 50 for introducing me to all the great albums on his infamous list.

Hat tip to the lad that, early this morning, left one front door on Hotwells Road wearing only PJ bottoms and sliders then vanished into another a few doors down.
