I’m sitting in my backyard holding a small device in my hand through which come hurtling toward me #information, #misinformation, #disinformation, #speculation about each of the above three, #opinionization, #pontification, #punditization, #bloviation and #bullshit from all over the #planet …
@Fragarach I had to look that up šŸ˜† #pontification

I keep thinking about people who claim their platform or tech is "free speech" and is that a good thing or not. For the most part I think the First Amendment got it right - and the carve outs for non-protected speech are sane ones that limit harm to others.

But a point I think it misses is that modern technological platforms have created something that is far beyond the street corner free speech, book, and other publishing founders might have been thinking of.

Tergenev's Rule #1 of Business Graphics:
"Any presentation or business document that displays a circular graphic, either with round-chasing arrows, or not, which is not a pie chart, serves no other function than to take up page space and inject color into an otherwise bland document. Round illustrations, unless it is a pie chart or a dissection drawing of a cantaloupe or a sea urchin, are to be avoided at all costs." #pontification #illustration #design
