What problem are you solving when you privatize one of the most successful public school systems in the world?

Polyamory, monogamy etc. are all organizing principles for romantic relationships. But what would it look like to atomize the concept of romance itself into more basic forms of energy exchange? To distribute physical, emotional and mental energy exchanges across many beings?

The other way in which the "$14.99 for Twitter" meme is misleading is that this is not the bigger risk. On top of the one for innovation and capitalism I just outlined, there's a very real risk to free speech and free circulation of information. 8/n

To loop back to my original point no, the end of #netneutrality doesn't mean you'll pay for Twitter and Google because these will be in the base package. But small actors will need to pay massive fees to telcos to get onto that base package short of which they'll be invisible 6/n

First, let's get real. This is perfectly addressable *if* we get real. We need job *creation* (obvious: infrastructure & care); make those jobs pay well; narrowly targeted training for some, safety net for some; and make tech and others pay up their taxes. nitter.gq/neelyandrew/status/928…

Some questions for reporters to ask Netflix: —How many employees have access to people's viewing habits? —Are there any controls on how they can access this data/what it can be used for? —What's the punishment for creeping on people? —Why are they publicly shaming customers? nitter.gq/netflix/status/9400517…

In 1982 an artist named Agnes Denes grew a two-acre wheatfield next to the World Trade Center and I think about it almost every day

UPDATE: Democrats just offered an amendment to ensure corporations use their tax savings to raise employee wages at the same rate they increase executive pay, stock buybacks and dividends to shareholders. Every single Republican voting, voted NO. #GOPTaxPlan
