Working online since 1995. Sysop'ed on CompuServe, built and managed early web communities. Early web monkey. Blogged before it was called blogging. Built DAM, ecom, PIM and workflow systems before the terms existed. My infrastructure ran on FreeBSD. Yes, that's a UNIX beard. Or at least it was, back in the day. 
Working as principal consultant in IT, media and content production, but open to sustainable work.

The world is drowning in slop and so many artists still feel the need to say "sorry for wasting your time with my silly doodles" type of stuff when writing a blog posts or posting new works.

Believe in yourself! You're humanity last line of defence againt hopelessness and nihilism.

The Ring “Search Party” ad is probably the most tone deaf I’ve seen in years given the context of rising racism in the United States.

Doorbell cameras can be accessed by the authorities but don’t worry it’ll only be used to find lost puppies. 😉

With Ring, American Consumers Built a Surveillance Dragnet

Ring's 'Search Party' is dystopian surveillance accelerationism.

SKANDAL: Talkshows sollen Rechtsextremismus stellen – nicht salonfähig moderieren. Wenn AfD-Chefs bei #CarenMiosga Dauergäste sind und die Themen nach AfD-Drehbuch setzen („Migration“ statt „Rechtsextremismus“), ist das keine Debatte. Extremismus normalisiert, macht ihn sendefähig.

„Wir werden das nicht überleben“: ZPS warnt vor AfD und Präsenz bei Miosga im Öffentlich-Rechtlichen

Der ARD-Polittalk „Caren Miosga“ befragt AfD-Chef Chrupalla, inwiefern Trump für Deutschland ein Vorbild sein könnte. Philipp Ruch von ZPS übt Kritik.

Eben fertiggestellt: der erste zufriedenstellende Probedruck eines neuen, zweifarbigen Holzschnittes, den ich mit den Bleischriften Tannenberg und Signal kombiniere. Der Text auf dem Entwurf lautet: 1789 ist die Antwort, wenn Reiche, Faschisten und Konzerne meinen, es wäre mal wieder Zeit für 1933.

I was talking to someone about Amazon laying off 30,000 people over the past few months and their response was that’s relatively small given COVID over hiring. I thought that was insensitive and decided to look up how many people they hired during the pandemic.

They hired half a million people in one year. 🤯

You know who doesn't have to triage, hardly at all, ever? Billionaires, especially in this second gilded age. Run the numbers and see what we could do if billionaires paid even a small fraction of their fair share. It's staggering. It's obscene. And it is fucking unacceptable.
