Don’t they know that petitions can’t change anything.

Quote of the Day:

When a man sees his black star, he knows his time is come.

Elvis Presley

  1. The “Independent”
    Listening to “The Independent” newspaper ranting about how social media foments “conspiracy theories” via the “echo chamber” effect is truly the pot calling the kettle black. What the big and ossified traditional news outlets can’t stand is that far better journalism is now conducted on the internet by people with access to more information not held in thrall to commercial and political interests and handlers. The more irrelevant these news “houses” and their owners become the more they whine and carry on.

  2. petition
    As soon as I read your sentence, I immediately knew it was the change.org one about Bowie. Petitions do make change, it’s just that an act of God can’t change an act of God.

  3. Confirmation Bias
    We know what we like, and like what we know! Humans do not make for good scientists.

    We could go one trying to re-invent cosmology, or just realize that someone or something else has already figured it out, at everything that can be figured out.
