#RicardoLevinsMorales: The reason so few uplift the names of Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres, Keith Porter Jr, Geraldo Lunas Campos, or the other lives cut short by ICE, is racism. The reason they haven't heard of them (and repeatedly heard about them) is media racism. When 50,000 people braved -10 degree temperatures on January 23, the chants were all about defending immigrants, calling out racism, and demanding ICE Out.
@FinalGirl @rooster Well boo, it was intended as a fun (musical) bit in theme with the fun historical bit, so I guess I failed at tone here. :-/
@rooster Some half lives are so long it's challenging to guarantee signs will last. Cultural artifacts, and genetic engineering approaches, are also in use or under consideration. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=amn3kn0XPLQ

Sir Geoffrey had placed his map on the table in the Great Hall. He explained it to our Lady Joan Mastodon. Every tag had its place. There were arrows between them, colour coded. Shaded areas identified groups of related concepts. Sir Geoffrey had even added little drawings to some of them: a camel for tags relating to periods of scarce resources, a harp for festive events, a skull for search engines. He beamed with pride.

What wonderful work, my friend, our Lady Joan said to him. And I love those droll little drawings, they are so evocative! But I fear you overthink your hashtags, my dear Geoffrey.

She turned around to address her knights. Hashtags, my friends, are meant to surprise and disorient. They break up what appears frozen, they connect what is isolated. Use them without plan. Hashtags are life.

Having spoken thus, our Lady asked Sir Geoffrey to have dinner with her and share with her guests his tales from the Before Days.

Yesterday I wondered aloud why RSS readers look like email clients.

@brentsimmons replied. Turns out he borrowed that layout for NetNewsWire in 2002 — and twenty years later, he's asking why no one's tried something different.

That conversation became an essay. I built a visual version (with an ASCII fallback).

Why RSS readers look like email clients, and what that's doing to us.

If you can walk off the job tomorrow, please do so.

If you can't - please do what you can - spend less, engage with the system less.

Every little bit counts.
