  1. "Australia remains the only liberal democracy not to have adopted its own constitutional or statutory bill of rights. Instead there is a patchwork of local laws and international agreements...The Australian commitment to human rights is always subject to political whim."

    Hartmut Rosa, Situation and Constellation, On the Disappearance of Human Agency
    "Particularly in our professional lives – but increasingly also in our leisure time – our decision-making is prescribed in advance by guidelines and forms, algorithms and apps, right down to the smallest of details. The role of situational, sensitive consideration and judgment is being replaced by the constellation-based machine logic of execution, which we wield on a daily basis. »Agree«/»Reject« – this is how agents of action turn into executors of actions."

    "...When spheres of discretion and judgment disappear and the creativity of human agency is eliminated from everyday practices of execution, we feel an increased sense of powerlessness. And as our power of judgment dwindles, so does our energy to act."

  2. I was hoping my to do list for tonight would include hanging out with my wife and then going to sleep, but it’s turning out to be a little more involved than that.

    • Approximately 90 more minutes of work
    • Top off the cat’s food bowl
    • Cook dinner
    • Eat dinner while hanging out with my wife in front of the tube
    • Shovel the 4-5 inches of snow we got today off of the drive way so that I can drive to the office tomorrow
    • Bring the trash barrel out to the street once there is a path shoveled to get it there
    • Finish today’s exercise and close the last ring in the Apple Watch’s activity app
    • Pack up my work laptop along with a bunch of things to put onto my new desk, which officially becomes my desk tomorrow
    • Keel over from exhaustion and sleep

    How do I type the word, “yikes” in such a way that it accurately demonstrates how I am feeling as we approach the tail end of the work day on this gloomy Tuesday?

    Yikes!
