Social Notes

Short posts that are often pushed to social media (a.k.a. tweets).

  • @LolOverruled It reminds me of educational segregation cases. The question of, I think, a med school where there was a White one but not a Black one was a clear case. Win that, the move to separate but equal was flawed. A prison designed to make money is more obviously flawed.

  • Having what used to be considered a super-computer in my pocket keeping me connected to the global at all times isn’t that remarkable. Having it be able to spit out a drone-cam feels bonkers. This is too advanced for Star Trek to think up kind of tech in my mind. twitter.com/RexChapman/sta…

  • @Durghan 🤷‍♂️

  • @ChikageWeather Definite graupel (that’s hail that isn’t hail, right?) in south Austin a little bit ago.

  • @jenfulwiler Last time I flew with an under-year-old, she wasn’t crying when we boarded and I proactively offered to buy a drink to anyone in our row or in front/behind us. No one took me up but I felt it bought some extra good will!

  • @ryanmarkel Firefox plus EFF’s privacy badger extension is my daily work driver. Been using Vivaldi (Chromium-based) for personal things, plus Chrome for Google stuff or streaming. So far so good. Brave was interesting but their ad/crypto is off-putting.
