The list is very long and for me spans nearly three decades. All the good people from w3c, met at CSUN, University of Texas with the late great John Slatin and of course my homegrown favorite @knowbility and the one and only @sharrush. A special hat tip to the BBC for being there
Who would you like to thank for helping you with accessibility?

It's #Tuesday and time to get our 'non-linear dynamical equations' on! Interesting piece on Networked Thinking and how the approach may be ushering in a new era of problem solving in human systems design. nesslabs.com/networked-think… #Cognitive #Network #Thinking #TuesdayVibes

In 1993 a primary driver of Tech became the World Wide Web. Not a monetary platform until a little e hit Commerce in 1997. There was the chance different social constructs could emerge. The web as you and I both well know is in practice everything antithetical to its core ideals.

Well if we're talking quantum... seriously we could go down that rabbit-hole together and never get out! I don't know but I do have a sense of a specific timeline of blips from pre web days to present tense. But, 2016 is to me where Tech and Society really went pear-shaped.

Well it is true in my experience at the intersection of technologists and publishers has undeniably set a course long fraught with disruptive influences. I sincerely Wonder my dear Chris at what point disruptive actually becomes destructive?

It makes me want to start a revolution but I already have a few under my belt and I just can't sustain at this age that kind of intensity. I'm not saying I give up but I definitely see it's time for some youngbloods to get serious about better practices in Tech.
That would be we are in trouble not we're in trouble wouldn't it be nice to it have all of this in the past and being a peaceful loving environment where everything is happy and good? I'd say again but well you know ;-)
Replying to @TheHonorableAT
I completely agree that we were in trouble and I also think it was preventable had we just slowed down a little bit. We technologists can surely be creative but we have not scaled knowledge and wisdom with the package. Now we have to tack it on like a ticky-tacky house.

For me technology disruption became acute around 2015 and surged upward in 2016. Most certainly online and social media are a part of the disrupt. Thoughts? "We are approaching the fastest, deepest, most consequential technological disruption in history" fastcompany.com/90559711/we-…

Everybody's a Critic including me but I'm getting sick of being criticized especially when it's done behind closed doors in DM. I always used to say transparency is bullshit. Authenticity is not however. Please be authentic or don't engage me. It's not healthy for either party.

Medical #satire in your coffee cup 4 #Monday morning. My take? A placebo made of simple ingredients would be far safer than most drugs and procedures used in serious illnesses. #mondaythoughts gomerblog.com/2020/10/fda-ap…

Came across this @brave #browser news: brave.com/new-onion-service/ - .onion now available. From an old browser wench's point of view, I find their way of thinking to be refreshingly rebellious and realistically adaptive to the Web we have today.

Can't argue a truth. Life is understood backwards as Kierkegard suggested. It's sad what we believe about people and what they believe about us and The Masks they think they have to wear. Often in age delusion fades and clarity becomes well, for lack of a better word, clear.

Why would you even put up with that I would have walked. Even if I had family or responsibilities allowing that abuse allows it to continue to others not just ourselves we have to remember that.

Completely agreed. Not only should people fight this kind of thing but be willing to lose their jobs in the process because there has to be at some point of tipping the scales of balance toward the worker.
