<< Perhaps it is a function of age, but recalling the world No Logo described when I was 18 ..... does feel like harking back to a more innocent time. It would be easy for me to get an Uber to a WeWork office, order some Deliveroo and finish this article on Google Docs, while I stream Spotify, taking a break to browse Facebook and Instagram on my Android phone, finesse my personal brand on Twitter and wonder where the No Logo revolution all went wrong. >>

Delete Chrome. Now.

Google is using its exceptionally powerful position to make *the browser itself* analyze your browsing behavior and serve that on a plate in the form of "cohorts" to anyone interested.

They are transforming Chrome into a "browsing-history-passport" - right now.

If you care about your intellectual freedom even a little bit, you must put Chrome out of your life as soon as possible. Support others doing the same.

Don't just subscribe to my toots, *invest* in them. Speculate on them. Strut across the financial world in the manner of a giant colossus, leveraging collateralized toot obligations to impoverish nations. Crush small towns and shopping malls in your emailed fist.

My toots could start your very own family legacy you can pass on to your grandchildren, like a fine Swiss watch and/or cheese.

You know that free-floating sense that multinational corporations are above the law, able to buy their way out of consequences for even the most blatant, heinous crimes?

There's a (nearly) unbelievable, highly concrete example of it underway right at this moment.

It's the story of Steven Donziger, a campaigning lawyer who sued Chevron for its ecocide in Ecuador, a genocide against indigenous people, committed with cooperation from a brutal military dictatorship.

I wonder if I can pull the embroidery off my backpack... tired of stanning a Corp.

Despite whatever you might think about folks who work on tech spilling forth an utterance of curses - know that it is an essential verbal component to data witchery. Often used along with the somatic components, (🖕 is one you may be familiar with), the words weave a fine spell, in hopes it may be used to coax the device or process in question into obedience, or face banishment to oblivion.

Pac-Man was the first survival horror game.

This is important enough that it cannot be contained by the simple "reply" button:

Journey lied to you, whether you stop believin' or not, there is no such thing as South Detroit. Immediately South of Detroit, is the Detroit river, and on the other side of that is a place called Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

That prick from California who wrote the song is not only stealing valor from the 313, but he can't even get the fucking geography right.

This is important.
