They say the second #COVID jab provokes stronger reaction than the first and it's true. Aches, pains, and fatigue today. But it's short-lived: it's mid-afternoon and I already feel better than this morning.
The #OECD is nothing more than a tax cartel, and "tax harmonisation" is nothing more than a global attempt at economic colonisation. The G-77 should resist it loudly, immovably, and with solidarity.

If the secret goal was to make me want to see a Cyborg movie starring Ray Fisher directed by Zack Snyder, then it has been wildly successful, because shut up and take my money.
#uspol I'm no fan of Biden, but watching Q-addled Republicans take seriously his joke that he was in the Senate 120 years ago is a stark reminder of how dangerous their credulity is.
It's amazing to me how #TangerineDream, the German electronic music ensemble, has released so much consistently great music over such a long timespan despite a changing lineup. Wow. π΅β€οΈ
So, am I missing something or is Underground Cellar a place for people who really like gambling but want to pretend they like wine?

Fascinating news on animal intelligence: cuttlefish have passed the marshmallow test. If only most humans could do so!

βWhy I Still Use RSS - atthislinkβ
https://atthis.link/blog/2021/rss.html
I use RSS _a lot_. Over 90% of the links I post (like this one) I find through my feed reader. Trying to keep up with web development or publishing using social media feels like a very addictive way to accomplish nothing.
This was literally my daughter Fiona's reaction to that #NintendoDirect

Calling smartphone equipped teenagers 'digital natives' is a mistake because a smartphone makes you a consumer rather than a native of anything.
If you want a child to become a digital native give them an actual computer instead of a corporate controlled and curated consumer device.
This seems like a step on the road to the world of Neal Stephenson's Snow Crash.
Cryptocurrency is such a clear benefit to everyday people that you can measure how fiscally irresponsible policymakers are by how hard they try to suppress it.
#uspol I'm only posting this because I want to refer to it as a #PillowFight. Sorry, I'll leave now.
