@cosmicallyf True story. That is what their name refers to. Conserve the old ways, however shitty they may be, no matter how unhappy all people are. I thought for a time it was suppose to mean "don't progess to fast or dramatically." But it is reactionary and spiteful, and insists on conserving, even restoring, structures that are antique poorly designed, do not fit, and are terrible for everyone.

Disney sure has a lot of fucking nerve to raise streaming prices when they're refusing to pay to have fresh content.

Without a shadow of a doubt the single most useful class I ever took in school at any level, was TOUCH TYPING in Junior High. A room full of big old mechanical manual typewriters. Endless seemingly silly exercises.

At the time, my thinking was that it would be useful later for writing term papers and such. I of course had not an inkling that I would essentially spend my entire career chained to terminal and computer keyboards.

@lauren I say these exact words fairly often, sometimes to total strangers.

Some personal news: I'm moving on from CUNY's Newmark J-school, officially retiring (but not really) at the end of the term. I am proud of so much accomplished there, which I recount with much thanks here: https://medium.com/whither-news/moving-on-4eecb1c76ce3

    I think Mastodon is rising to be my preferred social media place after some experimenting. Wondering how it is settling out for others? And why, if you'd care to share.

    “But the analysis discovered one major change: The incomes of the rich grew much faster in countries where tax rates were lowered. Instead of trickling down to the middle class, tax cuts for the rich may not accomplish much more than help the rich keep more of their riches and exacerbate income inequality, the research indicates.”

    Although sparked by the acquittal of 4 white police officers who beat Rodney King, the roots of the 1992 Los Angeles riots can be traced back through decades of racial, economic, & political tensions. Therefore, to understand the magnitude & depth of anger that fueled the riots, one must consider the historical context that set the stage for this tumultuous event.
