ELEVEN years ago … and we are seeking to ‘take back the internet’ … clearly it didn’t work out. In fact since July 2011 it has become a LOT worse.
What went wrong?

Ted’s ideas (are) worth spreading.
But we also need action.
🔗 I noticed this morning that 1999.io was getting a bunch of hits.
… @dave wondering who’s suddenly hitting his ‘1999’ servers.
Somebody in here?

The same Koch keeps their factories running along in Russia and has announced that they have no intention of closing them.
The same Koch that fuels the Rethuglicans agenda.
The same Koch … oh just go look them up ….

So that’s an hour of my life that I will never get back!
I’m talking CSS styling of my newsletter
By adding controls to make certain changes I needed, it seems to have broken stuff that was working two days ago 🤯.
This does not answer the question ‘how much are you going to charge me’?
🔗 Thiel Blasts Dimon, Buffett and Fink as ‘Finance Gerontocracy’ at Bitcoin 2022.
Buffett’s scepticism of bitcoin prompted Peter Thiel to call him a ‘sociopathic grandpa’.
Of course, Peter Thiel is such a lovely person, that I am sure we are all hanging on his every word.
I am unlikely to go back into the archive and update - but using more emojis in my posts going forward - to make it easier to surface them in the future … of course if you are reading this on Twitter - you probably don’t care :-)

🔗 Harvard Canceled its Best Black Professor. Why? - YouTube
The real and unadulterated truth? This might be it - I just don’t know.
But if it is … well I wouldn’t be surprised.
