@jeffowski copyright reform may not be the most pressing thing to focus on immediately but it needs to be on the docket, being worked on.

@jeffowski Sensible person, not going to such an dark and brutal, authoritarian state.

@jeffowski Good for her!

Why would she refuse to visit the most totalitarian regime in the world treating women as accessory and property of men?

What kind of women in the world #chess
federation would decide to sanction a tournament in such a rogue state?

#saudiarabia makes #Iran look like San Francisco

...ohhh you mean it was ALL MEN that decided all this ... but she is in focus ... for depriving men of their titles?

@jeffowski police are there to protect the billionaire, not the widow.

@jeffowski Great!
Reminds me of the short story "Cathedral" by Raymond Carver, when a guy is trying to give a blind man a feel for a cathedral - just through words though, as far as I can remember.

@jeffowski Do they have models of parliament and music theatres too?

@jeffowski I’ve seen and touched something similar in Aachen.

@jeffowski If you look at this closely, i think you might find that the average homeless person has less debt then you.

@jeffowski This can be read two ways.

Less talk, more EATING.

The rules are the rules, after all.

Violence against men is always so charmingly funny.

Exactly! My ambition to learn to speak Chinese when I lived in Shanghai was crushed by some very close friends laughing their socks off every other time I said something.

@jeffowski I really don't like any of these remarks. I'd like to add "Why can't you be more like _________ (insert name of sibling, cousin, friend, parents' friend's kid). Ugh!

@jeffowski Punishing both ways is done out of ignorance and not deliberately. Fine. So apologize! Don't pretend it didn't happen. The person on the receiving end learns something when they are "damned if I do, damned if I don't."

They learn to stop trying. Eventually, they learn to stop listening. It goes downhill from there.

Apologize! Don't alienate when you don't mean to alienate.

@jeffowski When we take Uber, it is almost always to get TO the train station or the airport. There isn't any bus service here.

Taxi companies are almost never unionized.

@jeffowski Every city needs a https://drivers.coop/

@jeffowski so, every trip in an Uber bleeds the finance industry dry?

@jeffowski

We have a billionaire bubble. I'm convinced that all the "value" ascribed to the rich doesn't exist. Wealth is vapor-value.

@jeffowski Bingo!!

@jeffowski
money is a human construct based on what the general order agrees upon
why not make their money worthless to the rest of us, and create our own economic spine?

@jeffowski
Cats at eye level? But, of course.

@jeffowski 😱

Have you heard about Iwago Mitsuaki and Oki Masayuki?
Both are Japanese cat photographers, and there even is a short documentary about the first one: https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/3004939/
