.....It's at least a fortnight since I last had pączki. Getting withdrawal symptoms. Need another visit to Magda's farm!

😱 Huh! Some friends! Have to say we missed it as well, so I need to have a serious word with Vicki...

I appreciate it's an increasingly ironic position to believe in "tech for good" especially when the phrase is co-opted by grifters and techbro philosophers, but:

Absent of the thirst to spend money on crap, we have greater capability to make stuff to improve lives than ever before.

We just don't.

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.
