Our house is on fire. Join the resistance: Do no harm/take no shit. My idiosyncratic and confluent bricolage of progressive politics, the collaborative commons, next generation cognitive neuroscience, American pragmatism, de/reconstruction, dynamic systems, embodied realism, postmetaphysics, psychodynamics, aesthetics. It ain't much but it's not nothing.

Senate GOP gut internet privacy protections
Yep, they did it again. Under the previous FCC rules internet service providers (ISPs) had to get someone's permission before revealing personal information like "precise geolocation, financial information, health information, children's information, and web browsing history for advertising and internal marketing." Their argument was that web sites like Alphabet Inc.'s Google or Facebook Inc. didn't have to abide by those rules, so why should they? That being the case, why then didn't they vote to include those websites under these reasonable same rules? Because when a profit is to be make our privacy rights are irrelevant. That's there one and only bottom line.
