A friend shared this thought with me, and, to be honest, I find it a little depressing.

Hill I will always stand my ground on:
It is absolutely unreasonable & dangerous to forbid people from bringing their own water into a music venue (or anywhere else) unless you're providing free filtered water inside. Selling bottled water is not a substitute.

And don't even give me excuses about people putting vodka in their water bottle. People also bring pills & gummies or they pre-drink at home. Deal with that problem directly.

Don't run a fucking dehydration extortion scheme.

We won't survive another Trump presidency https://www.alternet.org/alternet-exclusives/surviving-trump/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon

@LilahTovMoon The only power that man has, as long as he is a private citizen, is the willingness of others to break the law on his behalf. That's it. Break that chain and he is no longer a threat.

What I really want from technology these days is passivity. Physical buttons, and PASSIVITY.

No guessing, no anticipating, no predicting.
No autofill, no autocorrect, no autodrive and PLEASE God no autoplay.

Just be inert until acted upon!
