I do think many aspects of people being adverse to accessibility being normalised is the idea that they themselves could one day need these accessibility features and that being frightening to them. I’m guilty of same. How dare we have mortal pervious bodies.

Killed within minutes?! What horrible minutes! Seconds or instantly would have been much more merciful.

BTW, I've boycotted Chick-fil-A ever since they opposed #MarriageEquality years ago. Obviously the right decision. #LoveIsLove

Joe Biden can't be the worst US President ever, as #Trump says.

That's a title that Trump will hold forever ... undisputed and with a huge margin!

Even George W. Bush was quite a decent President compared to Trump.

And this is why we love #Cricket

And this is why half the world doesn't get it.

5 day test match at Adelaide, Australia vs West Indies.

Australia wins the toss and elects to bowl, prompting lengthy and arcane discussion about the grass on Adelaide Oval, the time of year, the cloud cover, humidity, how Bradman bowled first at Adelaide in 1934 and paid the price, can West Indies defence cope with leg spin.

And the game hasn't started yet.

Ah, #Cricket.

Is there a website or an online museum which tracked the originals of traditional #games and how it spread across different nations?

There are traditional games in #Korea and the #Philippines which are (very) similar, yet, there was no known contact between the two nations at the time these traditional games were estimated to have been “developed”.

That only leaves us with two possibilities:
1. The games did develop independently. Which someone gives us the idea that humans think similarly regardless of place and time.

2. Another foreign contact brought the games.

Here are some examples:
Korea: Red Light, Green Light.
Philippines: Stop, Go.

Philippines: Sipa (predates Spanish rule)
Korea: I don't remember what it's called, but I first saw it in a #RunningMan episode.

Korea: #SquidGame
Philippines: #Patintero

Marbles game
Philippines: Jolen, Holen, or just marbles.
Korea: can't remember what it's called.

Korea: Gonggi
Philippines: Jackstone

President Macron said France had switched to a war economy to increase weapons production and increase supplies to Ukraine

He said he intended to visit Ukraine in February and announced new deliveries to Kiev of about 40 Scalp missiles and “several hundred bombs”.

Macron said France was "in the process of finalizing a security agreement" similar to the one concluded by Kiev and London.

I just discovered that one of my favourite philosophical writers, former AI researcher @Meaningness, has published a book on the current state and future risks of AI;

I've read standalone essays David wrote years ago exploring the philosophical underbelly of AI development, and I'm confident this timely book will be just as insightful.
