Wait wait wait. I was excited about Star Trek Discovery, but Rainn Wilson is playing Harry Mudd in nine episodes?!
That people are only productive because of fear of poverty is a shortsighted view of human nature, and it makes me sad every time I hear it.
Interesting perspective. https://www.byline.com/column/68/article/1674
I'm going to the #IndieWeb Summit in Portland next month. If you care about an independent web, you should too. http://2017.indieweb.org
This is why I still think journalists should be posting on their own sites and only syndicating to Facebook. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/may/19/facebook-blocks-malta-journalist-joseph-muscat-panama-...

Excited to be at the #NMVSummit today. So many amazing people in the room thinking about the future of media and democracy.
My personal laptop is finally dying. I'll probably get a MBP, but if anyone can recommend a Linux box with great battery life, I'm in.
