What do you think, Bernie?

You know how Nicholas is...

"It was at this point that Negroponte said he would still have given Ito the same advice today... A woman in the front row began crying. Kate Darling, a research scientist at the MIT Media Lab, shouted, “Nicholas, shut up!” Negroponte responded that he would not shut up and that he had founded the Lab, to which Darling said, “We’ve been cleaning up your messes for the past eight years.”"

I miss the mighty Fung Wah.

$15 overnight from NYC to Boston... people used it as a hacker hotel.

Driver driving stiff armed one handed and holding cellphone to ear jabbering in Cantonese the whole way.

Sometimes we got a restaurant break on the way, sometimes not.

Getting on the bus in Chinatown in NYC.

When will the bus leave?

You sit. You quiet. Bus leave when full.

Too funny. And they hardly blew up or caught fire, except when they did. :)

"There's a time when the operation of the machine becomes so odious, makes you so sick at heart that you can't take part! You can't even passively take part! And you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon the levers, upon all the apparatus -- and you've got to make it stop! And you've got to indicate to the people who run it, to the people who own it -- that unless you're free the machine will be prevented from working at all!!"

Don't you hate it when *this* happens?

"Fidel Castro's crocodile bites man at Swedish aquarium

A man has been hospitalised after he was bitten by a crocodile that once belonged to Cuban leader Fidel Castro.

The man, in his 70s, had been attending a crayfish party at the Skansen Aquarium in Stockholm on Tuesday.

According to police, the man had his "arm on the wrong side of the security glass" when he was bitten."

"“An activist of democratic, anti-war and LGBT movements Yelena Grigoryeva was brutally murdered near her house” on Friday night, opposition campaigner Dinar Idrisov wrote on Facebook. He said she had recently reported threats of violence to the police, but they took no action.

Acquaintances said Grigoryeva’s name was on a list of LGBT activists published by a recently blocked Russian website that called on people to take vigilante action against them."

"Under the bridge: migrants held in El Paso tell of dust, cold and hunger

For three days and nights, Maria and her 14-year-old son were penned behind barbed wire, under a bridge in El Paso. Cold, hungry, surrounded by sick and crying babies and with only the stony ground for a bed, her first experience of America was not as she had imagined.

“I came here to work and get a better future for my family,” she said. “I never thought I would go through this.”"

If you are putting cw's on political posts... you're doing it wrong.

@Laurelai

Or ethics...

I am liking Mastodon.

Feels like 1996 all over again.

This time, we do it right!

Really, asking "what should replace Facebook" is putting things the wrong way around.

A more interesting way to ask the question is, "what did Facebook replace."

People used to build their own websites. People used to have blogs. People used USENET which was truly distributed and un-censorable.

Facebook and Google took the open internet and open standards and monetized and made everything crappy. Enough of that. Nothing should replace Facebook, it's done, stick a fork in it.
