I liken it to smoking. I made tons of friends over the years because of smoking, and was able to manage my anxiety. In many ways smoking was a really positive thing for me, but it also left me addicted to nicotine, and was slowly killing me. Social media is doing the same thing to culturally to us.

In France, Elder Care Comes with the Mail Carriers for La Poste have a new job: checking in on the aged.

For those who wonder what a modern postal service could look like, one example is in France, where letter carriers provide check-ins on the elderly for very affordable rates, while completing their routes.

The only reason Canada Post has to break even is because very stupid people think the government is a business and/or the national budget works like a home ledger.

Always a good time to rewatch this speech. I forgot she called out the publishers for charging libraries so much for ebooks. Sad she’s gone, but happy she left us with so much fantastic work to discuss and think about at every read.
