#ADHD hitting me hard over the last few days.
Had to literally run around in my apartment to burn some energy.

Back after a long hiatus #hello

Why are there no dumb #electric #cars?
I love the potential #environment benefits but hate how everything is glass and touchscreens and apps.
It's a data #privacy and #security nightmare.

Is there a bot/plug-in that can block all other bots on #mastodon, at least for my personal use, mainly search?

Found the first #holocaust denier ever here on Mastodon.
Holy smokes, honestly didn't know they existed!
Nauseating

The pandemic often reminds me of Pablo Neruda and his poem titled "Keeping Quiet"

I keep thinking about the dynamic in #Hamilton the #musical
when Hamilton says to Burr
"If you stand for nothing, what will you fall for?"
It's good drama and a mic drop line and all, but is that statement substantive?
Do we always need to have a hard stand about everything?
Not knowing anything else about Burr outside the musical, wasn't he eventually vindicated by surviving and being elected as the Vice President?

Any #fediverse recommendations for image/file hosting?
Looking for a privacy respecting imgur equivalent.

What do folks think about self driving #cars #vehicles?
Hype or not?
I personally think that the technology is still too far out to be 100% automated in dense areas.

This kinda goes back to the problem that birdsite/bigblue seem to be trying to solve- how to customize your feed based on who you want to hear more from.
While their intentions are a bit more pernicious, I don't envy them here.

Just had to unfollow someone.
Not coz of their political views, but because their feed was nothing but politics.
It's exhausting yo!
