I love your question! It’s a great place to ask it, because merely asking a question like that in a place like this immediately demonstrates the need we all have to develop these t…

I consider them indigenous, though you’re correct that they weren’t always there. They were, to the best of my knowledge, the first people to inhabit that place. Much as, where I’m…

Your sentiment put words to my feelings as I watched the gameplay trailer. As soon as the narrator shifted to the theme of exploitation and politics, with no reference to the indig…

Friendly reminder that the purpose of the vaccines was to reduce death and severe disease, which all of the approved vaccines continue to do, even as “immunity from infection” wane…

Learning that someone has conflicts of interest and regularly distorts science directly correlates to my trusting their message

Right, but there’s a citation next to that statement which digs far deeper. https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/does-optimism-on-...

I agree completely. Though I’m confused by your use of the world slur. Are you referencing my use of “whyt”? Happy to discuss if you’re interested in discussion.

ITT: Whyt folx suggesting that curating media that targets a specific cultural audience is problematic without realizing that they already enjoy that same experience every day of t…

Same! I was so glad to see it’s inclusion in the list. It’s had a huge impact on me. Will check out Widen the Window.

Always assume Go references are about the board game, always disappointed. Congrats on the book!

Thanks for confirming. All the best as you turn this new page! You have my heart (if not my wallet).

What your saying is a likely long-term outcome. But the reason we see milder viruses circulating as an “end-game” is just because we don’t tend to deal with non-threats. There is n…

There certainly is a race. The slower we go the more spread. The more spread, the more variation. The more variation, the more likelihood of a vaccine-resistant strain taking hold.…

I paid a flat fee to join. I think it was like $7 or something. I think the price used to go up incrementally with each new signup. I gotta say though, the whole value proposition …

I had a similar experience with them as well. It definitely surprised me and made me grumpy, but it honestly took half the time as this one because I didn’t put up a fight. I remem…

I’ve been using StoryGraph the last couple of months as a GoodReads alternative, and it’s been great! I’m not interested in the social side of GoodReads very much, so the network e…

On the Media (podcast) ran a good piece Friday about how the problem with news (especially right now with the election) is that journalists are treating the candidates as the prota…

I dunno... I got a lot of value from this article. Nevermind the impossibility of everyone becoming a reputable master of their niche. 1) working towards that has benefits regardle…

We’re brainstorming some tech to use for a small (about 500 people) annual festival that’s been forced to go virtual. What I want is Clubhouse, which has yet to materialize. What I…

We’re online only until at least October, but we’ve opted in to a full year of remote learning regardless of what the school does. I’ve switched to stay-at-home Dad mode and work o…
