This is a personal collection of things I find around the internet.

Alright, so somehow you found this place. Here's what to expect:

Posts will be random; there are absolutely no themes here.
Posts may be overwhelmingly frequent (sorry about your sub feed).
Posts may be unbearably infrequent; you may forget you subscribed here.
Posts may be oh, so very boring to you.

Due to the nature of this place, you may find a bunch of stuff that you don't care about, but you may also find a new passion.

So, the gist is, this is a place where I'll share random things, and you'll discover the internet with me.

Oh yeah, I didn't advertise this place anywhere, so hey, how did you even get here?

Check out the sister sub where you discover music with me! [email protected]

This is a shocking example of where we've gotten to in terms of latent disregard for privacy and complacency with corporations having far too much of your data.

The fact that this is even in debate as acceptable is very telling.

Completely ridiculous and should not even be a question. In my own lifetime we went from "parents ultimately need to make sure their underage children aren't playing M-rated games" to "now we're in a spot where we can scan your children, collect that data, potentially do whatever we want with that data, and paint it like we're helping you as a parent block content to your child". And people will eat it up.
