Anyone else spend the summer rewriting their human operating system?
@futureidentity Like a whole re-write each year? That's impressive! I mean, I normally just do updates, but this year was a complete rewrite.
Trying to convince my ex to take my 2 VIP tix to the goth night in LA @dasbunker tonight & make some LA magic by gifting them to some cute goth girls in line. (He has his own tix & I'm in Philly.) Just an elder goth trying to pay it forward.
@okanaga86 What we focus on, grows. I too am done with dystopian stories and have been for some time.
Today my Twitter feed is flooded with the worst casino and forex ads. Wonder what algo decided I needed them.
@EmLindley It's totally a drug. I've been weaning myself off it and here for several months. You have to get your personal validation offline. But I miss the community aspects it used to have.
RT @Cruftbox: The internet is basically held together with some carefully written text files. When you get the punctuation wrong, things…
Just looked at Portland real estate. Wow no wonder Californians. I’ve there. I had no idea it was (still) so affordable! I never considered moving there til this moment. SoCal is still the best!
Also Seattle - wow your prices! I guess I am still acclimated to LA real estate lol.
@BorealisNinja @geminica Yeah. I had a major shock of what I thought was expensive 25 years ago when I moved to the Bay Area. Everywhere else (including LA when I moved there) now seems cheap, because I have never lowered that bar.
@BorealisNinja @geminica Regarding remote work, what I've seen is increasing costs in more rural areas, where people have moved during the Pandemic. Mostly from large cities where you can do cash down on like 400k (in Joshua Tree) thus pricing out those locals.
@BorealisNinja @geminica I wonder how this is going to impact cities... will prices drop in city cores, or more economic stratification because the owners keep + rent them. And then there is climate migration (my main motivation) & death of demographics & income transfer at work.
@geminica 😢 Current economics is not for the broad base of humanity.
Why have three governments invested more than $16 million into digitally native, trusted credentials? And why should we care? Read on to find out in their own words. https://medium.com/in-present-tense/three-governments-enabling-digital-identity-interoperability-bbcfc60c3a80
@cybertarek @FrankMcG Well because the internet was not built with an identity layer. Kim Cameron and all that. Plus then Facebook stole the 3rd party provider login idea from IIW and devs didn’t want to built their own authentication systems… and so forth till VCs and DiDs etc…
@e_estonia @darrello @NordicInstitute Thanks for the note. I will check them out. Sounds v cool!
Seriously, how did I ever drive 1000 miles in 10 hours? Impressed with my past self who was clearly going the distance.
I’m practicing not sharing my life on the socials. It’s both hard cause I want to share and not hard cause it’s fun to keep my experiences for myself or one or two other people/dog. It’s very calming. Try it!
When you are living through a disinfo war, how do you increase your resilience? Here are 10 suggestions, as an update to the classic Cold War spy Moscow Rules. (I've become a fan of #7 this year.) https://heathervescent.medium.com/the-internet-2020-rules-cda65d3b1098
@wildbell Just sit with your jitteriness. Don't distract yourself from it. Supplement your dopamine need with IRL activities, or hopeful and calm activities. Also, maybe do a private journal to express yourself? Just some things I have practiced.
In the past 48 hours, I've had 5 water leaks. While a drag, this is what happens when you shut it down for 3 months to do upgrades. We are most definitely in the anti fragile stage of home improvements!
Lurking at IIW today.

RT @windley: #IIW 33 is happening now. Attendees from all over the world.
imageSo basically squid game is the squid game. Glad I only watched the final episode.
I love the messages people send me through the "Anything else you want to tell Santa?" question. Pretty sure this is the most important thing I have ever done and will ever do with my life. Which makes me proud and also sad. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/2021santa
A pocket of the dystopian future in the present. This thread illustrates a future unintended consequence of Industry 4.0 - an extension of present day JIT manufacturing. https://twitter.com/VioletWanderers/status/1448789825319018496
@Cruftbox Are there uggs?
You can never get your sunk cost back, so note to self, don't make a decision based on the misery you've endured.
@SSquire I myself have trouble remembering.
On top of everything else going on today/this week, my truck won't come out of park due to my local rodents.
@NikolasFuturist Well I am up the hill near Joshua Tree.
@ninavizz I'm hoping to find out tomorrow when the mechanic arrives.

It's going to be a hell of a weekend driving my truck with the "Spice Must Flow" and "Bene Gesserit Have More Fun" bumper stickers.
