agreed even in some of my jobs the companies push the staff to collect more info than some people want to give out and it gives me some discomfort too because I remember the "before times" I'm of the last generation that remembered what life was like before the internet

When I first read about Facebook I felt an instinctive revulsion-shudder that went all through me. Today, with AI, the very same shudder is way higher on the Richter Scale and rattling me to my bone marrow.

So much winning! I'm becoming more intentionally myopic. I'd rather watch an ant crawl up a plant. Going to take an online drawing class with C this winter. I know creating -- anything -- is my little bit of (imaginary) power against The Machine.

I vote. Donate a pittance to good candidates. Volunteer a bit. Keep my fingers crossed until they cramp.
