#introduction

Buck Meek (the guitarist for Big Thief) released another solo album today. He is a rare talent. My dog Zoey approves of this #music (she always lets me know with a smile and wag of her tail).

Saw this last night while going down the wiki-hole.

I watched this #film because someone I know once told me I remind them of Carey Mulligan. Not sure how I feel about that now, but it is a killer movie.

I'm actually quite stunned that people are just now talking about #WhatsApp privacy. Didn't y'all delete your account as soon as Fakebook bought them? Their plan all along was to harvest user data.

I finally watched the new Pixar movie Soul and loved it like most people. It is actually more of a commentary on depression than spirituality, which I think is increasingly important these days 💙

The scraped #Parler data is no longer publicly available. It would have been nice to keep it open for citizen scientists. Maybe after it hits archive.org we can do some statistical analysis on it 🤓

Cloud provider #Amazon Web Services continues to host controversial social media platform #Parler, despite mounting calls to drop the haven for hate speech.

I have not been online all day. Did anything interesting happen? Just kidding.

The Venezuelan government: "With this regrettable episode, the United States suffers the same thing that it has generated in other countries with its policies of aggression."

Ouch

I've been watching The Durrells in Corfu to satisfy my wanderlust and naturalist tendencies. It's good.

Based on The Corfu Trilogy (three autobiographical novels by environmentalist Gerald Durrell), the series is set on the Greek Island of Corfu in 1935 ​and follows the adventures of Gerald and his family as they make Corfu their home​.
