«At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book. We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way—one page at a time. We use the Scribe, a book scanner our engineers invented, along with the software that it runs. Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto to the Wellcome Library and beyond. Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and fix any errors. Then she ships the book back to our Physical Archive for long-term preservation. Now imagine this: scanners like Eliza have done this 2,000,000 times. That’s what it takes to provide you with a free digital library.» – Plus Internet Archive’s Modern Book Collection Now Tops 2 Million Volumes, by Chris Freeland, February 3, 2021

You know what? I actually hope they’re right, and I AM just a paranoid conspiracy theorist/tinfoil hat wearing nutter, because if I’m not…then my biggest fears about the direction this country is taking, will soon be our reality. And it won’t be good for any of us regular people.

I’d rather be crazy, than have that dystopian nightmare for my future.

“The notion that every single human being – regardless of their peculiarities and their strangenesses and sins and crimes and all of that – has something divine in them that needs to be regarded with respect, plays an integral role…in the creation of habitable order out of chaos. It’s a magnificent, remarkable and crazy idea…. And I do firmly believe that it sits at the base of our legal system. I think it is the cornerstone of our legal system. That’s the notion that everyone is equal before God. That’s such a strange idea. It’s very difficult to understand how anybody could have ever come up with that idea, because the manifold differences between people are so obvious and so evident that you could say the natural way of viewing someone, or human beings, is in this extremely hierarchical manner where some people are contemptible and easily brushed off as pointless and pathological and without value whatsoever, and all the power accrues to a certain tiny aristocratic minority at the top. But if you look at the way that the idea of individual sovereignty developed…it became something that was fixed in the imagination that each individual had something of transcendent value about them. And, man, I can tell you — we dispense with that idea at our serious peril.”

my dad, teaching me how to grill: now the heat takes care of a lot but if you were really homophobic you might be looking at the thing, asking yourself, is this clean?

me, desperately keeping a straight face: dad do you mean germophobic
