@seanreilly I’ve always had difficulty reading technical books. They’re sooooo boring. But non-technical or non-academic non-fiction has proven more engaging.
In Search of a Better WorldToday in news which will not shock you:

Survey which claimed evangelical Christianity was on the rise in UK found to have been fraudulently manipulated by Evangelical Christians.
I know. My surprise was unconstrained.

@alex_p_roe @patrickhadfield How to have your STOLEN cake and eat it. ◡̈
@patrickhadfield So folks will have to pay to see all the cool shit the English stole from their ancestors?
Qasim Rashid, Esq.Media wants us to feel sorry for Israeli soldiers who committed genocide and killed 20 people a day.
Not for the Palestinians who suffered genocide
Not for the Iranian families who lost 170 children
Not for the tens of thousands of orphans in Gaza
They want us to weap for the poor helpless Israeli soldiers who have to live with the trauma of knowing they "just followed orders" to mass murder innocent children like Hind Rajab.
Nah—I hope they enjoy their self made hell in this life & the next

@seanreilly I think the point I'm trying to make is this shit could be addictive to anyone, not just kids. Like always, we're taking the wrong lessons from things.
We should be outraged that Meta/Google/Twitter deliberately optimised for addiction or as they would put it, engagement. Instead we're jumping to infringe everyone's rights because we need to "think of the children”.
Maybe I’m just very stupid, but it seems we’re missing the obvious conclusion here that social media companies built their platforms to be addictive. To everyone.
Children. Adults. Three raccoons in a trenchcoat. It doesn’t matter. They wanted to addict you to their platform.
But yeah, let’s slap ‘em on the wrist and solve the problem by infringing everyone’s rights.
@griotspeak NYC has a long culture of breakfast & lunch places. I used to get sandwiches from a place that closed at 3pm sharp. They opened at 5 to serve egg sandwiches and such. I remember their pastrami and swiss as being heavenly. Course, this was twenty-five years ago when I worked there.
