Hur ofta delar du andras personliga information utan deras samtycke?

Många appar frågar rutinmässigt efter tillgång till telefonens adressbok. Alltför många trycker ja.

Det är som att alla företag rutinmässigt frågar om de får kopiera min Filofax och jag gladeligen låter dem alla göra kopior.

Fast värre... för att bygga nätverkskartor över vem som känner vem tar nu bara några sekunder.

Men Filofax alltså, det var tider det. 😁 Kan tänka mig att någon på Fedive…

Good Morning #Canada
Here in beautiful Belle Ewart the temp is -22°C, feeling like -31°C with the wind. But it's a dry cold....
Out west they are struggling with double digit temperatures on the plus side. Edmonton's winter festival organizers are making snow, protecting ice blocks and praying for plunging temps to save their skating rink. The unseasonable weather has impacted events throughput Alberta. The Banff and Lake Louise ice carving festival, Art of Ice, had to take down sculptures because they weren't safe. They were similarly impacted last year. The World’s Longest Hockey Game (WLHG) got underway last Thursday and players are dealing with slushy conditions while golf driving ranges are packed with eager duffers.
I'd gladly make the sacrifice and swap weather conditions with our fellow Canucks out west. It would be a burden that I'd gladly carry.

Our collective intellectual culture seems to have calcified around a cohort of thinkers who achieved prominence roughly ten years ago and have been coasting ever since. 
This isn't about Malcolm Gladwell specifically, though he'll appear as a recurring character. 
The Gladwell formula, if you haven't encountered it, goes something like this:
take a subject that seems simple,
complicate it with research that seems to undermine common sense,
then re…

Comfort Food for the Thinking Class: The Great Intellectual Stagnation
Wander into any bookstore (I dare you.)  The non-fiction table will be all but dominated by the usual suspects: Malcolm Gladwell's latest exploration of how some counterintuitive thing is actually the opposite of what you'd expect, a David Brooks meditation on character and virtue, something by Michael Lewis about how

I’ve always wanted to isolate the harmonizing vocals from this classic tune. I’ll gladly settle for this wonderful acoustic version til then.

Das sonst sehr beschauliche Tulln erlebt eine Gewaltwelle durch eine halbstarke Gang.

Every now and then I visit Nextdoor, drop a bunch of socialist comments then disappear.
In the most recent episode I learned (once again) that some people in Milwaukee would like to see a lot more cops and would gladly take the funding from public schools to make it happen. Sigh...

And I'm ashamed to be an American
Where fascist thugs are free.
And I won't forget the ones they killed
Or maimed or took from me.
And I'll gladly stand up, next to you,
And shame and film today.
'Cause there ain't no doubt I love my home.
Let's free the USA.
