@comicbuzz Evan Dahm's "Vattu", of course… I'd like to read his "Island Book" soon when I get the opportunity… I'm also reading Jeph Jaques' "Questionable Content", and "Sam n' Fuzzy", too.

Oh! Also Stuart McMillen's latest comic "Million Dollar Baseball" is awesome, too! http://www.stuartmcmillen.com/comic/million-dollar-baseball/

@0xf0 @szbalint Actually it's supposed to be PHLEGM. Without the final 'l'. Notice the final 'l' is *not* capitalized.

PHLEGM. Just PHLEGM.

@randomgeek That at your home or at your office-office..?

is lsanger at mastodon dot social *The* actual Larry Sanger himself?

[/Honest question, not trying to be snide or inconsiderate or anything like that at all.] [/Also I really like if not respect the Wikipedia project. And Jimmy Wales. And Sanger, too of course.]

The latest ep. of the You Are Not So Smart #podcast on pluralistic ignorance is pretty great!

Pluralistic Ignorance = "the psychology behind why people don’t speak out against, and even defend, norms they secretly despise"

#socialpsychology is super interesting

@Algot I do not choose the economic structure I live in, I guess...?

[btw I have a presentation and/or an all-day data entry session tomorrow morning so I *should* go to sleep but anyways this is this etc., etc.]

I Like (the promise of) Jigsaw, by the way. I could almost swear that I was among one of Jigsaw's 1st followers on Twitter.

But still though.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

And sometimes, just sometimes, I catch myself to check myself, telling myself I *do not* really want to burn them a-holes "wanting to watch the world burn", physically with my own two hands dousing them with gasoline and lighting them up with a torch. No I don't.

No I don't.

I'd just like to add that some "human rights activists" have argued & continue to argue that the throttling was a breach of free speech rights.

To that I would remind the hundreds killed & lynched in India through WhatsApp misinfo recently, and how Srilanka demonstratably deescalated sectarian violence through *temporary* socmed disruption.
