Dang, I got it right.

To quote @lukeplunkett.com :

The Internet was never perfect but it used to be usable, functional. I know how we got here and I want the old Internet back. I want forums back. I want personal sites. I want stuff not written by a machine. I just want shit to work again.

One argument I used to make to my students about why it was important to learn history (and historical thinking) is that someone was always going to be trying to tell you things were natural or had always been this way and that you needed to be able to see that as an exercise of power.

It’s like watching someone trying to win a marathon by using a car to get to the finish line, and when people ask what the fuck they reply well what else was I supposed to do I don’t have any desire to run or walk.

If the bird is, for example, a seagull, then it doesn't eat worms; it eats fries. So being up earlier than the shops open is a waste of time for it, frankly.
