roses are red
violets are blue
in surveillance capitalism
poem reads you
and shows you ads
for flower shops
and tracks your clicks
and never stops
it cares not about
if privacy's harmed
the money is green
when people are farmed
twitter is cyan
facebook is blue
your friends are the product
and so are you

What's that word?
Kim Stanley Robinson used a word in an interview that I wanted to remember but I've forgotten. It was something like a "supersymbol" but that isn't it. He gave as an example that we might be a "______" to other animals; they observe our activities but they have no freakin' clue why we do what we do, but what we do has immense, existential effects on them.
Anyone know the word?
How about a #vexillology rant? Sure, why not!
Dear TV shows. Do not display the District of Columbia flag in federal courtrooms (even those located in D.C.) or in congressional committee rooms. Also, no embassy flies the flag of the host country alongside its own, so don't depict them as doing. Yes, House of Cards and The Blacklist, I'm talkin' to you.
There oughta be a law. All poilitical-thriller shows must have a full-time vexillological consultant. And that foot.....is me.

It's kind of depressing to open my "Informed Delivery Daily Digest" from the US Postal Service every morning and see photos of the mail that's going to arrive at my house today.
To think that the Founders put "post offices" specifically in the Constitution and Ben Franklin spent some of the best years of his life organizing and running the US Post Office and everybody thought cheap and fast mail was an important democratic value.
Today I'm getting an offer for some timeshare scam.
Just got my boarding passes for a trip tomorrow and realized that it's on Flight 2001.
If the pilot's name is "Dave" I'm deploying the emergency chute and getting off.
"So i just came out to my dad abt being #nb, and he said something really wise about names, i think.
He said “Gifts are not obligations. You give things to people, and you hope they like them. And your name was a gift from us to you. If it doesn’t work for you anymore, you’re not obligated to keep it.”
and i just thought maybe other people could use hearing something like that."

<<Being an English-speaking society is like living in a glass house: it makes you transparent. Conversely, foreign countries are opaque to mostly monolingual Britons and Americans. Foreigners know us much better than we know them. This asymmetry probably helped Russia get its favoured candidate into the White House, and it will handicap Britain in the Brexit negotiations.>>
