Yet another example of local fascism taking root - a combo of expanded public surveillance and forced capitalist propaganda in the form of "sidewalk kiosks" controlled, deployed, & operated by a coalition of anti-worker corporations, all thanks to our neoliberal politicians. Yay!
Screenshot from an article that reads: The Seattle City Council is officially taking up a request from the Downtown Seattle Association (DSA) to deploy dozens of digital information kiosks on the city’s sidewalks. The interactive kiosks, which will come equipped with free Wi-Fi, digital wayfinding, and the ability to call for assistance, will spend most of their time displaying ads. The bulk of the revenue generated by those ads is set to return to the DSA, to fund operations of the Metropolitan Improvement District (MID) and the MID’s Downtown Ambassadors who patrol downtown providing cleaning and public space activation services.

A cool thing more ppl should know is that neuroplasiticity means your brain can bounce back from a lot. U may feel like ur phone addiction or drugs turned ur brain to goop but with a bit of solid effort u can do things you haven’t been able to in yrs, like read books or use maps

Drove from Austin, Texas to the Catskill mountains of New York without using GPS and didn't make a single wrong turn. Technology liquidated my sense of direction and spatial memory but I am rebuilding my hippocampus.

All told, Seattle Public Schools, which faces a $94 million budget shortfall, will make just over $900,000 this year on properties that generate many times that in revenues for leaseholders. a bonkers story from, of course, @Pauledroberts seattletimes.com/business/am…

Amid $94M deficit, SPS leasing land across Seattle at 1980s-style rates

In the 1980s, the district leased unused properties to local businesses. But the century-plus deals have had unexpected, and not entirely welcome, results.

just before smartphones there was a service called ChaCha you could text (242-242) & a real person on the other end would look for an answer & text you back; sometimes they flirted with you too

It was weird going to college before smartphones. One time while out at a bar none of us could remember the name of Fleetwood Mac’s drummer so I called my dad at 2am.

so many people (not just students) have this idea that a university is somehow trying to exploit or trick or punish you when it assigns you work. they're trying to help you! they can't teach you anything if you refuse to do any work!
