Thankful for the little window my iPad provides for viewing pieces of the whole world before bedtime. But most of all I’m thankful to you all for engaging here. You’re the best. Good night.

”The results suggest that people perceive robots with anthropomorphic features to have a race, and therefore, the same race-related prejudices that humans experience extend to robots, too.”
Humans are broken. As creators we need to decide if we feed the brokenness or fight it. x.com/projectinclude…

@anymalooney I believe guidelines are only guidelines. They’re there to help you think before jumping to conclusions, but they are not rigid. We are all different.

Do you feel like you get enough sleep?

@movito @Cennydd Fair point. I don’t have a straightforward answer but my own take being this has to do with violence against, and expulsion of, the unwanted. The hyenas in this case.
@movito @Cennydd There was also this Swedish opinion piece in 2016. aftonbladet.se/nyheter/kolumn…

@asaplsnr Känner igen mig själv oerhört i detta.
Med det sagt har du läst The Future of Capitalism av Paul Collier? 😂
”Australia said it would establish the world's first dedicated office to police Facebook Inc (FB.O) and Google (GOOGL.O) as part of reforms designed to rein in the U.S. technology giants, potentially setting a precedent for global lawmakers.” reuters.com/article/us-aus…
This is what more people need to understand is going on in automated filtering of content. x.com/ruchowdh/statu…

@Cennydd Dan Hassler-Forest makes this point well in The Washington Post.

@Cennydd Here’s a follow-up story without a paywall...

I watched Kimba the White Lion in the 80s. This is a balanced article on copyright, culture and litigation, with regards to the Lion King similarities.
The creator of Kimba, ever popular Osamu Tezuka, died in 1989, when work on Lion King began.

@tsvenson ”Sweden has let our African American Community down in the United States.”
Huh?

@B2Bsalesandmkg Yeah, this was a Swiss company calling from Spain to Sweden.
In my view, Ideally communication occurs according to preference, which means you learn preference first.
In free trial cases it's easy enough to ask people when, how and if they would like to be helped/contacted.
@B2Bsalesandmkg But I'm not saying it's not going to bring them more sales; all I'm saying it puts me off. 😊
When I sign up for a free trial and a day later someone calls me from abroad (I didn't pick up) and then e-mails me to set up a "short call" I'm sorry but that's too needy and puts me off your service.
A lot of effort to chase away customers 😕
542. The number of pages in the prosecutor's report investigating Rakim Mayers (aka ASAP Rocky). The victim was rushed to hospital with bruises, cuts and stab wounds - and a likely rib fracture. A bottle was used, maybe broken. Two unpublished videos are part of the evidence.
A woman close to Mayers appears to have filmed the events and edited(!) the footage before posting to Instagram.
Weakness in present evidence is reported as it being unclear which of the 3 assailants used a bottle.
This will be an interesting case where edited footage may have been used to influence public opinion shortly after a crime. A case where Justin Bieber and president Trump have called for immediate release without parttaking in any evidence.
The trial starts on Tuesday.

@DangerousDolly Absolut. Både tänkt och gjort :) och vill skriva fler. 11 januari 2018, så inte gammalt.
Jag kan tänka mig att roman-spåret stämmer. Jag har lekt med inledningar förut.
Just found an old draft blog post of mine and this is all it says:
"When I woke 12 hours ago I could not remember my past. Now I know why."
I can not remember writing this. And that is freaking me out. 😬
