a bioshock movie, but it's done by illumination entertainment

There are no winners here. The sky is overcast and it might rain. And I am on my way to buy a bad carrot hot dog that I know I will not like, as a penance for being a cyber gremlin

"(Left unstated, but strongly implicit, is the presumption that whatever policies are arrived at in this way will be applied transparently, dispassionately and in a manner free from politics.)

Every single aspect of this argument is problematic.”

“There is an implicit theory, a clear philosophical position, even a worldview, behind all of this effort. We might think of it as an unreconstructed logical positivism, which among other things holds that the world is in principle perfectly knowable, its contents enumerable and their relations capable of being meaningfully encoded in the state of a technical system, without bias or distortion….this is effectively an argument that there is one and only one universal and transcendently correct solution to each identified individual or collective human need; that this solution can be arrived at algorithmically, via the operations of a technical system furnished with the proper inputs; and that this solution is something which can be encoded in public policy, again without distortion.

getting pissed off reading this WSJ article about kids & teens who have to use TikTok to vent about their parents and companies constantly surveilling their location, browsing history, and communications. The kids are right to hate this shit

can’t you already hear the cloying first act “i want it” song showstopper about spreading magic after she spends her last 20 pound note at a london coffee store? a slightly whimsical tune just after contrasting her rejection letters with hogwarts acceptance letters? the meritocracy that totally exists and isn’t a neoliberal fiction rewarding her for her struggle being the REAL acceptance to hogwarts that these libs crave? and her haters, the REAL dementors looming at the edge of the castle gates?

haha but let’s be honest folks. the REAL bad harry potter hamilton-style musical we’ll all have to hear about won’t be a retelling of the stories from the books. it will be a saccharin and probably slightly dishonest retelling of jk rowling’s rise to international fame. this will happen in our lifetimes and it WILL win tonys

folks when i say this is a REAL BEAT from hamilton....

LEAKED preview of harry potter hamilton MUST SEE BEFORE JK ROWLING DELETES

lifehack: whenever public wifi asks you for your email, instead of giving it to them, do this ONE NEAT TRICK

look at the name of the company trying to collect it (it will never be the restaurant or cafe, always some soulless data brokering tech firm) and type in "sales" or "hello" @companyname.website

give them a taste of their own medicine!!
