excellent piece on feedback loops between recommendation engines and procedurally-generated content, specifically with regard to videos targeted to children on youtube: https://medium.com/@jamesbridle/something-is-wrong-on-the-internet-c39c471271d2 (content warnings in article)
reminds me of cathy o'neil's concept of "weapons of math destruction" in which data-driven algorithms feed back on data from the society that they create http://time.com/4471451/cathy-oneil-math-destruction/

Is there a thing you need to do?
Do the thing! I know you can do the thing! I believe in your ability to do the thing! You got this, the thing is nothing for you!
needed to pause by computer to write down plotstuff. now no really away
@zebratron2084 @Azruulei I once dreamed about somebody I knew on UseNet who went by the handle "Piranha" and completely obscured every possible avenue of information about themselves, including gender, name, country of origin, much less physical appearance.
I once dreamed that I met Piranha in person, and they were a sentient school of--word-fish, words swimming like fishes in the air.
that probably counts as postfurry, eh? ;)

The coordinated attack on US elections isn't a partisan issue. New research shows that Russian-operated social media sites also attacked Jeb Bush in support of Trump.

I try to be nice and compassionate to others because it makes me feel better and it might help others to feel better. And maybe, just maybe, I will inspire someone else to do the same; then, the world is just a little bit better for it.
