Step 1: Tiktok zeigt mir aus heiterem Himmel auf der FYP haufenweise Influencer, die berichten, wie super easy und schnell man mit digitalen Produkten und Chat GPT auf Etsy Hunderttausende verdienen kann. (NB: Ich bin + war nie Verkäuferin auf Etsy)

Step 2: In den klassischen Medien häufen sich Berichte über TopverkäuferInnen, denen von Etsy urplötzlich 75% ihrer Einnahmen für 90 Tage „zur Sicherheit“ einbehalten werden. Ohne Erklärung oder Möglichkeit zur Revision.

Remember when Trump stole classified documents about undercover CIA agents in January 2021. Nine months later CIA Counterintelligence sent a top secret cable warning that an unusually high number of CIA agents had been killed, captured, or compromised.

Thinking about the 1,127,000+ #COVID19 deaths in the US and how they disproportionately represent low income earners in the service industries, and thinking about the #ChildLabor law that just went through the #Iowa senate in the last day, as a result of extended pressure from restaurant lobbies.

Why do we get hangnails on our fingers, but not on our toenails?
Seriously, I want to know.
I had a couple bloody ones recently, but I never get those on my little piggies.

My Twitter follower count continues to fluctuate but my Medium, LinkedIn and Mastodon followers keep steadily increasing. #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm

Once again I find myself wondering how it is that no one has monitized the ‘sarcasm font’. There is clearly an interest.

Sometimes I wonder, though. Case in point, Australia is receiving me. Perhaps the few hams I'm hearing in Indonesia do hear me, but they're not sending reports to PSK Reporter. It may be cost prohibitive where they're at. They might be working portable from the beach or some such, so they're not connected to the internet at all.

In high school I read: Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? It was the inspiration for the movie Blade Runner, but the book is so much more dense. Deckard’s search for the androids is a minor side story to the overarching theme of empathy.

Dick invented social media. #socialmedia #thingsthatmakeyougohmmm #ReadingAgain

I went to delete my account on the #BirdApp and could not find the option anywhere. Suspicious? I think so. Did he remove the choice so his numbers won't reflect the #massmigration ? #ThingsThatMakeYouGoHmmm
