It should be illegal to own a payment network and then open an ad network using all that data.

I just found out season 2 of Outer Range is available!! I absolutely loved season 1, it was such a unique story (sci-fi western!). I guess I'll sign up for Prime for a month to watch it. Anything else new and good on prime right now? #SciFi #OuterRange

@Jennifer I have The Wheel of Time, Reacher, and Fallout on my list to watch when I get Prime for a month. I also have Leverage: Redemption, but I think the first two seasons are on FreeVee (season 3 will be on Amazon Prime).

The City of Philadelphia’s annual employee satisfaction survey was released last week. This was also released last week. They may or may not be related. I leave that to you, dear reader, to decide.

Good Lord. The Washington Post blew this, choosing not to report on the Alitos' (plural) flag at the time, dredging it up now, masking the failure amid background paragraphs. Democracy dies in terrible, irresponsible, credulous, complicit news judgment. Shame.

@CarlG @jeffjarvis @LeaBug we should start calling any group of corrupt people a Robert’s Court. Make his name synonymous with leading corruption. I mean, I’d rather impeach the entire right wing of the court, but shaming them publicly and often will have to do for now.

It was just that very normal thing where you fly an inverted US flag to indicate you’re unhappy with your neighbors. At the same time that a fascist faction flying that flag attacks Congress to try to overthrow the government. Look, this could have happened to any of us. https://wapo.st/4dS1BCf

Prediction: Nikki Haley will try to justify her endorsement of Trump by claiming that she’s not “endorsing” him, she’s just voting for him.

This will be her defense on one of the Sunday morning talking head shows. She’ll try going down a rabbit hole about the distinction.

kyleejohnson,
@kyleejohnson@jawns.club avatar

@charlesgaba yup. If she didn’t want to endorse him, she could have just said not one thing about who she’s voting for. But she needs the rabid base to understand she is one of them for the next election. Assuming there is a next election and that Trump won’t run again. Fascist gonna fascist.

So anyway, government types talk a lot about modernization, and they always mean tech. And that's cool and all, but if government doesn't also modernize its approach to tech, its relationship with tech, and its understanding of tech, it's really all for naught.

Those shitty approaches, relationships, and understanding are what got us into this situation where government tech sucks, and no amount of purely tech modernization is going to help on its own. That's just a bandaid over cancer.

@JeanEvergreen @RamenCatholic absolutely. If for no other reason than the dude in the lower left looks like Trump (too long red tie and all), and any game where he gets eaten by a monster is a keeper.
