  1. @renardboy Agree BUT the root #truth / #onionskin is:

    #Systems today NEED to have shittyness associated with it to keep it going because they were born from that shit (much like having #bank loans 'support' (#extract) from everything and everyone; wanting #infinite #profit).

    The #system (=#cheating #people or increasing #prices) knows #shady #shit will have to happen (at some point) when #land & people are infinitely #rented (and taken away from #future #children who don't want / can't #pay).

  2. That's really interesting, Bill. I'm going to #bookmark this because more is going to show up. I'm going to run #Research #AI from perspective on models currently available both for #pay and for #free if you can work with the technology. There are #open #source #models I haven't tried yet.

    JCVI #COVID #vaccination statement, autumn 2027

    "Increasing #age remains the most important risk factor associated with COVID-19 hospitalisation and mortality. Accordingly, willingness to #pay increased with age"

    "​Some age groups among those who are #immunosuppressed did not reach the #cost-effectiveness threshold, but this may reflect the small population sizes involved."

  11. THE END OF SOMEWHERE ELSE

    There are lives built around striving, escape, improvement, and the hope that somewhere else will finally feel right.

    And there are lives in which very little is required.

    The work is simple.

    Breathe.

    Write.

    Care for the house.

    Care for the people and creatures who share it.

    Let other adults live their own lives.

    Keep warm in winter.

    Pay attention to what is already enough.

    “I need do nothing” does not mean neglect.

    It means life no longer has to be forced.

    Things are cared for.

    Responsibilities are shared.

    No one needs rescuing.

    No future needs arranging.

    And home is not a place to escape from.

    It is the place where escape is no longer necessary.

  13. The Off Switch: When Money Becomes Permission

    An all-digital economy promises a world without friction. The same design that makes payment effortless makes denial effortless, and it hands every government a quiet way to decide whether you may eat. Pay for coffee with a glance at your phone. Send rent across the country before the barista finishes the pour. Split a dinner bill at the table with no cash, no card, and no fuss. The case for a fully digital economy arrives wrapped in that smoothness, and the smoothness is real. The danger sits one layer underneath, in a question almost no one asks at the register: who has to approve this payment for it to clear, and what becomes of me on the day they decide not to? […]
