Re: Unlike Us links on social media and their alternatives

This is a promising direction. It's impossible to guess/infer at the first attempt what the platform should do, but it's almost obvious what it shouldn't. What we need is a requirements document, the one not produced by techies, as for one reason or another they tend to make bad choices. At thi

Spate of articles on diminishing addiction to digitalization, with quite a few, maybe most, suggest reading a book! Motherhood, apple pie! Heads down for that venerable opioid is hustled as gloriously educative no matter political bias, gender, age, race, ethnicity. Ink gods good, pixel giant

Re: Shame of going against the tribe

Funny that Mr Computers couldn’t tell the difference between a personal and group reply. But anyway, Morlock’s posting of Caitlin Johnstone just put him in my Killfile. As Brian points out, he’s terrible and not credible in many ways but this is the last straw for me. Johnstone is an embarrassme

Shame of going against the tribe

This resolved, for me, the mystery of disgust I had for the US 'progressives', 'left' and 'democrats'. I always thought that they were far more sinister than the right, as they hijacked those who could do something, the well-spoken professors, artists, journalists, the nice educated people in k
