iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

We can critique without denying the humanity of the writer or worker. And if one can’t, the critique isn’t about art as much as a support for a secure upper class’ cultural authority The slippery social pyramid (Edith Wharton) is a cliched problem. It’s not a map for how to live with each other now

Outside and inside the books, there is a message that feels like a bad flavor in the sauce. I disagree with that flavor. I would say instead: support what you love, and respect the choices of people making their own, separate, self-chosen, lives

The first book of JCO that I picked up was A Bloodsmore Romance. I was young and couldn’t get around the horror of the opening. (Gothic hot air balloon kidnapping.) While I respect her craft, I don’t like her humor (?) surrounding force It felt edgy about who gets to make choices

As for custom vs machine made clothes: 1) for the buyers that’s more a available income issue, not a taste issue; 2) for the makers, those are still humans operating the machines. In summary, we should not say that some people are less human or tasteful just because they are different.

About gender, it is only in my lifetime that I could get a bank account and a credit card without a hassle or a “man” co signer. Any super asserted definition of gender gives energy to the old super abusive binary. Sing out with Elsa!: Let It Go

There’s an entire generation of British politicians who’s entire worldview is made up of buzzwords and corporate jargon and that really doesn’t translate to places like Northern Ireland where politics is actually real

Fuck ChatGPT flyers. The future is broadsheets.

A crowded broadsheet with way too many fonts. It says:
Forget ChatGPT Flyers
Say it with
Broadsheets
Unlimited fonts
Stretch them
Or cram a really long sentence into one line for no good reason
No whitespace
Mix capital and lowercase
Pointing hands
(They're called manicules!)
Don't be left behind
Broadsheets are the future

Pin the tail on *the* season 4 Ted Lasso villain. No explanations. No caveats. No spoilers. Who do you think will be the big season 4 antagonist? My guess: Jane.

a classic in the genre of “isn’t it nice to see strangers helping each other out and also isn’t it absolutely deranged that corporations treat paying customers in a way that makes it necessary for them to have to like rescue each other”

we're boarding now. a gate attendant literally screamed at us to board by boarding group... and a hundred people just laughed in her face. we have formed a self-governing society at this point and her attempt to order us around is oddly funny

I don’t like the ubiquitous way we use the word “cooked” — it describes a real dipped-in-the-zeitgeist thing, yes. But now we imply winning a horse race at the expense of the cooked. It feels slightly dehumanizing. I’m saying that saying cooked too much cooks ones empathy. Six seven math, you know

NEW: @apnews.com confirms that ICE has begun electronically "disappearing" people in the agency's custody who have final orders of removal. As of last week, anyone jailed by ICE with a final order of removal will NOT appear in the ICE Online Detainee Locator System, making them effectively vanish.

It’s interesting to think about effort being sometimes a count noun or a non count noun. I think it hinges on how much energy we want to give to our observations? Or hope we have of being able to see effectively? Yoda/Holmes’ “do or do not—there is no try”: there is a limit on looking at effort?
