You are not responsible for other people’s failing business models.

Adblockers are a safety measure on the modern internet. Do your part: help everyone get more adblocking.

You're only as old as you feel...

So please, help me celebrate my 147th birthday.

I spent over a decade working as a makeup assistant. My spouse, a musician. Both of us were in strong unions. We are lucky that we still enjoy those benefits after many years in the business. I am very thankful for the union support we receive.

Why do I bring this up?

Folks, (especially you younger folk) unions are so very important. I can’t stress this enough. Get in one, and make it stronger. Now is that time.

Here in tech bro world we have so many innovations for you! Why not try our:

- Expensive unregulated taxi!
- Expensive unregulated hotel!
- Picture of monkey (formerly valuable)!
- Imaginary restaurant that serves bad food!
- Imaginary scam money (in 17,382 flavors)!
- Expensive unregulated television!
- Another picture of monkey (never valuable)!
- Twitter but it sucks now!
- The news but it also sucks and steals your personal information!

Plus, try our greatest achievement yet:
- Expensive unregulated scam concert tickets!

What is the best email to use that has no affiliation with Google, Microsoft, or any corporation that is working to turn us into a HAL-controlled society with robocops and pre-crime arrests? Assume I know nothing and would prefer easiest to maneuver as well. Actually, just go ahead and assume that it’s 1997, and I’m your 75-yo grandma who knows how to “dial onto the World Wide Web” but calls you 5 times a day about how to use internet explorer to search for whitewater and Vince Foster MURDERED, etc

SO, in summary: email that is not evil and has simplest design layout— (or at least somewhat simple to set up initially, like the way mastodon made it easy to pick an instance and set up one night when I was completely wasted, start posting/reposting, then figure out the rest later.)

Hi FYI some of the nurses at #DHMC in #Manchester #NH are VERY anti trans.
DHMC uses Zoom for telemedicine & now zoom uses your meetings to train AI.

I’m not sure if agreeing to allow your personal medical information to train AI opens you up to other privacy issues, but just be careful. I’m not trans and I don’t have kids but for some reason a nurse taking my vitals decided to soapbox against trans kids. And if she feels that emboldened to talk shit to a patient she has never met, who knows what they are doing with your data.
