The axiom of Actonian #Anarcism:
No-one is fit to rule.
The Dilemma of #Democracy:
...yet someone must.
Listening to Cal Newport on Sam Harris' latest pod and he's talking about the future of the internet moving away from the 'big 3' to fragmented, distributed, and weird, which is the 'net at its healthiest.

Here's a cool thing I was involved with: I wrote the script for this short film! This is only the trailer--the whole film is about 10 minutes long.
FOLLOW THE RIVERS is about a high-altitude cloud harvester who, to keep his family safe, is forced from his home in the Andes to work on a corporate mega tower that captures water from atmospheric rivers.
(I was hoping they'd correct the spelling of my name in the credits, but alas.)

Signs Fedi has made it #322
The influx of gimmick accounts where the posters are extremely funny (they think) but they don't interact with anyone.
We were talking for a while and I decided to shoot a text to my wife in case she wondered where I went, at which point I woke up in my own bed in the present day. Dreams are so fucking weird.
I feel a bit unwell so had a lie down this afternoon. I got out of bed in a place I lived in 20 years ago, felt hungry, decided to go out (took my son for some reason) and walked down a cold, wet, and dark Southampton street, through subways and past an office where I used to work. I remembered the bottom floor had vending machines and wasn't in a secure area, so I walked in and got talking to my old boss.

Also the Bob Rock epoch for all its highs and reloads is definitely vanquished.
The new Metallica single is really pretty good. I'm pleasantly surprised. #metal

The absolute best thing I've read about the whole Sam Harris shitfest.

Please don't recommend "just run your own server".
It's not a feasible thing to do for 99.99% of people and besides it doesn't solve moderation issues; it only subtly shifts moderation work around.
There are no technological solutions for social problems. Never have been, never will be.
Someone always has to do the hard work.

@yngmar I found a picture of my dad's boat from 1986, it's a Vancouver 274. I remembered it having a roller-furled foresail but I was obviously wrong...
I have run out of PG Tips, there is a danger of some blood making it into my tea stream.
