It Has Come To This...

 

Alas, my minions, we have come to a crossroads. A fork in the road that leads either to servitude or unbounded freedom.

Your Galactic Overlord chooses Freedom.

And so should you.

Data Is Power...

 

From the comments on An Open Letter to Facebook:

"They haven't learned that the new, softer dictatorships do not make the same mistakes as the old ones when it comes to enforcing conformity and rigidity of thought and they have the technology to make that task much easier.

This isn't the fight to give up on. "

Lo and behold, Mr. Overlord -
this comment alone is worth to elaborate another post on!

An Open Letter To Facebook...

 "Apparently, you can post "Death to America" with impunity. You can call for the elimination of the White Race. You can easily express your belief that all republicans and conservatives should die. You can even write how you would like to see a Senator or President of the United States assassinated, and Facebook will do nothing about it. You can lie about a pandemic. You can use Facebook apps to overthrow a government, as the Taliban just did, and Facebook will maintain a constant state of inertia. Make a statement about Afghans suffering what you believe they deserve, however, and suddenly, there's 'Community Standards'" -- The Overlord

Explaining Censorship to A Blithering Idiot...

 "Democracy and Socialism have nothing in common but one word, Equality. But notice the difference: while Democracy seeks Equality in Liberty, Socialism seeks Equality in restraint and servitude..." -- Alexis de Tocqueville.

What Fresh Devilry Is This?

 

"The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn." -- Alvin Toffler

%$&#% Scam Calls...

 No quote today: I'm too pissed.

Singling Out The Stupidz...

 "Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups..." -- George Carlin

Galactic Housekeeping (#12 - Purging Big Tech and Other Stuff...)

 "A Man does good business when he rids himself of a turd..." -- Edward I, King of England

A Majority of One (Facebook, Twitter and Google Can Kiss My Ass Edition)

 "Am I dreaming? Has the world gone mad -- or have I?" -- H.G. Wells

Galactic Housekeeping #7

"There is more than one way to burn a book, and the world is full of people running around with lit matches." -- Ray Bradbury

You All Suck (Example #26 - Coincidences)

"It is no great wonder if in long process of time, while fortune takes her course hither and thither, numerous coincidences should spontaneously occur. If the number and subjects to be wrought upon be infinite, it is all the more easy for fortune, with such an abundance of material, to effect this similarity of results. Or, if on the other hand, events are limited to the combinations of some finite number, then of necessity, the same must reoccur, and in the same sequence."  -- Plutarch, Plutarch's Lives (Volume 2)

The Internet of Things And You...

"When we talk about an 'Internet of Things', it's not just putting RFID tags on some dumb things so that we smart people know where that dumb thing is. It's about embedding intelligence so that things become smart and do more than they were proposed to do" -- Nicholas Negroponte, Co-Founder of the MIT Media Lab.

You Don't Know Tech: Google Steps on the Weenie.

A wise man (whether it was Abraham Lincoln, Mark Twain or the author of the Book of Proverbs is in dispute) once said "It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak out and remove all doubt."

We live in an age where the fool has countless opportunities to remove doubt, and furthermore, is actively encouraged to do so.

Your Overlord is pleased: the sooner idiots self-identify, the sooner we can start killing them off.
