Thought Leaders: "Programming will be obsolete within 5 years. All business software will be generated by AIs"

Actual Businesses: "actually we're mainly still on-premise, running on Windows Server 2003 and VBScript ASP, but our two-year plan to migrate everything into a cloud kicked off in 2015 and we're making steady progress."

Recycling is very, very broken, and we are now years out from when China started rejecting our “recycling”. Now we send it to other countries where it destroys their environment instead of ours. We need to seriously rethink consumption at every level, have real conversations about getting rid of growth as our chief and only goal. #recycling #degrowth #sustainability

We've been gaslighted by leaders into accepting policies that don't solve the pandemic because they hurt the people who are most vulnerable and lock them out of society. We can do better.

To end the pandemic we need measures that actually reduce COVID spread, like ventilation & better vaccines. These measures will take time to come into effect (they can happen faster if we speak up). In the meantime, mask mandates will open up society to more people & reduce harm.

Wishing everyone a great new year...

Selling merch based on your failed attempted rightwing coup is peak American capitalism.

Your first cat picture of 2023. Smudge was clearly up far too late celebrating the new year.

How come our world has real life super villains but no real life superheroes?

@luckytran That way of thinking requires empathy and compassion for others. Unfortunately, we have an entire sector of the population who don't give a damn about others.

Eh getting bad vibes from 2023….probably not the year to make any big changes…I’ll defer my resolutions to 2024
