I think the woes of the #unitedstates is due to a lack of literacy. 54% of adults read below a 6th grade reading level, which oddly, is the number of of the conservative voting bloc, and I think that is reflective of the mindset. Being able to read and parse information is a vital skill, and […]

Hmm. Everyone knows where my loyalties lie. If I have to eat bread and eggs from my mother, so be it. I plan on being in #Norway longer anyway (til I die, which, I'm immortal so...), so I stand with them. #News #Europe https://www.ft.com/content/b2872a49-3d43-4a55-a483-de7b19e8e436

I mean, rock on. I'm keeping my Apple One subscription. All the cool #Apple goodies like Music for $20/mo. Apple TV, Arcade, iCloud, and Apple pays artists better. I'm really disappointed in #Spotify For being a #swedish company, you'd think they'd be better. I love Apple Music.

Hitler didn't like the optics of the Holocaust, and when the idea of jewish extermination became unpopular, did he stop? No. He started doing it anyway in secrecy. People started just "vanishing", and families given a cover up story for it. The optics didn't stop the Nazis, and it won't stop […]
