"Information wants to be free"

stupidest slogan of all time

information doesn't want anything
by 2nd law, it costs something to produce, analyze, store, organize and deliver information
what the slogan means is I, the speaker, want something that cost someone else money, but I don't want to pay for it, and I don't have the guts to say I want it for free, so I am hiding behind this slogan, where an abstract idea (information) takes my place

and I've been saying this for over 10 years

Just walked the dog and saw a NM car with "Christie 2024" and "Pence 2024" stickers. I suppose that's better than the Orange Monster; but, still... ew.

I saw a feature a little while ago in @Semafor in which media people talked about what they'd gotten wrong in 2023. Well, here's mine: I'm stunned that Twitter/X is still more or less recognizably itself, that many of the people and accounts I need to follow are still there, and that it has not yet taken its final death plunge into the toxic pit of hell. Maybe 2024 will be the year. #journalism

ah yes fair warning to the world!! #templeton #massachusetts please please be patient with #usps

they just got the literal worst postmaster. she was fired from the office my spouse works at for things like: not paying the trash bill, heating bill, water bill. stealing money orders from the postal safe and trying to frame the only black carrier. falsifying documents including time sheets and routes and falsifying signatures so that she could keep pay down& keep overburdened routes (routes with more houses than their evaluated time to deliver mail on are possible). she ignores missives from above that instruct her how to get pay out during emergencies and just Doesnt Do It. new for 2024! she lies and claims to be a veteran.

we also suspect with strong evidence she's done things like: burn her house down for insurance money, and steal 50$ from the union steward, probably not realizing who he is even though its her job on her first week in Templeton.

so..... ur carriers are gonna be stressed

rant 

Youtube shorts and TikTok videos are a scourge on modern internet videos.

it really annoys me how quickly people talk in internet videos now. There's even a trend where people edit out their breaths and any gaps.

People, please slow down. Have some breaths. It makes it much easier to understand what you're saying if you give your audience a chance to absorb it.

Also, if you don't want your audience to know you're an imperfect and breathing human, just use an AI voice and f off.

Again, CT legislative candidates use public financing & DE doesn't have enough competitive seats to bother, which brings us to FLORIDA.

The GOP has a supermajority in both the House & Senate, so the best Dems can do is try to *break* those. Donate today:

YouTube has built an incredible platform when it comes to creators monetizing their content.

It shows how much Elon Musk is in over his head in social media that he nagged MrBeast to upload videos to Twitter/X only to get schooled.

Who would have guessed a guy who built companies filled with rocket scientists (SpaceX) and brain surgeons (Neuralink) would be stumped by the dynamics of platforms for sharing memes and shitposts?
