shoutouts to an underrated sitcom and deep influence on my pal @ssohardd
you: what about the baby dinosaur tho, he sucked so bad

me:
one of my all time fave things from Dinosaurs was the weed metaphor episode where Robbie breaks character at the end to tell you to stop smoking weed just so they and other shows can stop making unfunny preachy anti-drug episodes like this
hyperrealistic robbie sinclair from dinosaurs crawling out of your tv: stop smoking weed so i can make more jokes

i feel that fortnite thread is kinda saying a bit of the obvious, so i'll inject a lil that goes unsaid: of course kids are gonna flock to digital spaces to hang out as people make it more and more impossible for kids to use physical spaces to hang out at all
the amount of laws and police enforcement and tech like fucking "sound frequencies that only kids can hear to buzz horribly and try to keep them out" to keep youth from Doing Anything Anywhere will of course result in having to find spaces elsewhere, and that accelerates in games
part of the reason is of course just People Like Playing Video Games but more and more public places are closed off to youth for use of any kind - i spent tons of time online myself as a kid, but i was Just That Way. there's less physical spaces for kids who aren't like i was

thinking about how a lot of people's trouble with wrapping their heads around nazis as an actual threat is the thought that "if there was really a problem, the cops would take care of it", followed by the inability/unwillingness to believe that cops would actually support them
cops have massive latitude to beat the shit out of most anybody with little to no consequences and that this is almost never used against various flavors of white supremacists would say something obvious, but so many people just can't/won't grip around "the cops like the nazis"
thoughts of how the ACLU couldn't seem to understand how the cops wouldn't do their job at the Charlottesville hate rally - they seemed utterly baffled that police might favor a white supremacist organization over those protesting them

widespread total disbelief of reality

Things are starting to change. What future do we want?

The political left and alt-right will use technology (incl. #AI/#AGI) & near-certain runaway #climate change. How to turn threats into opportunities? An intro to #ExtinctionRebellion research: vimeo.com/297453366 1/n
This film introduces a political theory on necessary conditions for climate mitigation (a.k.a.: "saving the world"). Let's call this theory "carbon language" until we find a better term. Don't worry, this thread will be short and easy to understand. vimeo.com/297679220 2/n
Indeed, this thread is entirely unscientific because science can tell us only how to save the world, not why. Why preserve life on Earth? Why live good lives? These are ethical questions; their answers depend on our values, and if we want to mitigate climate change, we will 3/n

One of the very frightening, strange things about this site is the (good) outflowing of pity and sympathy for those who commit suicide that is bordered by often vicious hatred of various persons and relishing in their demise.
We have such a desire for death for our enemies that it basically renders our odes to those we like meaningless.
So many, of all political views, have this delusion that somehow they are above it all, that their enemies, and all their crimes, why, I could never do this! Such sins are beneath me.

(1) So, the reality is that not everyone is looking for whiz-bang breakthrough innovations. After all, our economy is built on existing businesses, and sometimes that just want to figure out how to grow. The common desire is to expand geographically #jtbd
(2) For example, there was a time (2001) when Bosch was not in the North American "market" for circular saws. The "market" was fairly mature when viewing it through a traditional lens. They wondered if there were any hidden opportunities that the incumbents had missed #jtbd
(3) Bosch engaged @Strategyn to help them find these hidden segments, because they had a clear track record of doing it for others. This research could have told them there was nothing, which is also valuable. No one wants to spend time designing things w/ no value #jtbd

Your approval jumped (in a biased poll) and Nazis are rioting. Great. 😐

‘Protestors chanting Nazi slogan storm crowd outside Charlie Kirk speech at Colorado State University’

This is NOT ok.

‘Trump Isn’t to Thank for the Stock Market’s Boom, Barclays Says’

Is this where you accuse Barclays of being part of the ‘Deep State?’ 🙄

Things that surprised/amazed me about Japan, an ongoing thread.

(More likely UI than food, but you know this already.)

It’s my first time here. Please comment away and/or point out my cultural insensitivities!
1. A very friendly immigration officer and I laughed together, and when I said “I don’t really know where I’ll be staying,” he actually applauded it.
2. Very nice and clean train from the airport, with power sockets, and vending machines onboard.

Tons of solar panels passed by on the way.

Are you one of those people who's looked back on 2017 and convinced yourself that you haven't achieved anything? Worried about catching up with your mates who seem to have done much better?

Let me tell you a story about #time.

A thread 👇
A long #time ago, back when I was about twelve or thirteen years old, my parents travelled to Uyo.

Before leaving, my mother asked me to prepare Edikang ikong soup so she and my father would eat when they returned.
When I was finished with the soup, it was supposed to look something like this:
