“A principal rule for writers, and especially those who want to describe their own sensations, is not to believe that their doing so indicates they possess a special disposition of nature in this respect. Others can perhaps do it just as well as you can. Only they do not make a business of it, because it seems to them silly to publicise such things.”
—Georg Christoph Lichtenberg

Facebook/Instagram are pressuring users to allow their apps to track them to keep the apps "free of charge".
Reminder: these apps were never free — giving up your data is worth a lot.

Scotpol - Highland Region
FOR FUCK SAKE
Douglas Ross has been elected via the list system. Genuinely appalling. 3 of his CUP pals are in too. 💢
One Green MSP and no Wightman.
Kenny MacAskill says it was "too soon" for Alba. Thirty years too late, more like.
I might give myself arthritis of the finger by how often I'm clicking "refresh" as the election results come in. Looking good so far.

This is awesome. I hope this becomes the norm in urban areas.
