- "Blog" is a real word that will not drive me insane every time I hear it#
- Why would people watch other people's home videos#
- Why would you use an RSS reader to download giant audio files so you can listen to people talking when you could use an RSS reader to read#
- Why would people want to give rides to strangers in their own car in their spare time#
- It is completely rational to download the same bytes, over and over, to watch a video more than once#
- People would actually take the idea seriously that a fucking computer is capable of safely driving a car in actual traffic with actual human lives right down to fucking school zones with children for fucks sake have you seen them children are literally insane without actual fucking magic being applied#
- Why would people want to read Christmas letters and participate in Thanksgiving arguments, with everybody they have ever known, constantly, every day #
- OK I admit that wasn't actually my question. But I did get Facebook wrong. Only an actual, no-joking, cartoon supervillain could be responsible for what literally billions of people see, and talk about, and therefore think, and therefore believe, and therefore act on, and yet think so little of the implications of that, and care so little about anything except growth and domination and power, that blame for literally uncountable actual human deaths, and social divides that could cause far more, can be aimed directly, solely, at their individual, specific, personal, neglect and greed. Fuck you, Mark. Think about somebody besides your fucking self for one fucking second. You fucking, fucking asshole.#
- Why would people want to be notified about what you had for lunch on their phone#
- Daniel Amos will one day receive the recognition they deserve#
- Bitcoin is not the stupidest fucking idea ever that we will later discover is actually an information attack from a parallel universe#
- I believe the jury is still out on whether it's actually an attack from another kurt, but I just wanted to put that out there. I will write more about this, as I have opinions about performing waste work when not one, but two, towns where I've lived, have been completely destroyed by natural disasters. I hid from the tornado that destroyed Xenia, and Paradise has burned to the ground. This place is far, far more fragile than any of us want to admit, and we're all setting tulip bulbs on fire.#
- The America I grew up in, the one that believed in immigration and immunizations and science and taxes and parks and was arcing toward justice, however imperfectly, would be the one I'd live in#
- Using technology to enable everyone to talk to everyone else will increase understanding and basic human respect#
- Why would anybody want to watch other people play video games#
- Dave Winer should adopt "Drumkit" as the name for Drummer's scripting language. HA!! FINALLY GOT ONE!! IN YOUR FACE, UNIVERSE!!! #
