In today's #BlackMirrorReality news...
"Amazon, Apple and Google all employ staff who listen to customer voice recordings...
Some of the reviewers told Bloomberg that they shared amusing voice clips with one another in an internal chat room.
They also described hearing distressing clips such as a potential [trigger warning redaction - article linked below if you'd like to read it]. However, they were told by colleagues that it was not Amazon's job to intervene."

"Once I saw a cyclist run a stop sign therefore all cyclists are assholes."
Oooh, I love this page.

Endlich #BattleAngelAlita - Last Order durchgelesen neben der original Serie immernoch einer der großartigsten Manga die ich je gelesen habe.
Und bin immer wieder erstaunt das Manga und Comics mehr mein ethisches denken (positiv) beeinflusst haben als Religion...
Den Film werde ich mir dennoch nicht angucken... verdammte Grütze...

I didn’t bring peanuts today, much to the disappointment of a crow who recognized me at the park where I make a bus connection. It seemed to be cycling through calls to try to figure out which one would get me to feed it this time. I’m sorry, little crow! I can’t give you food I don’t have with me.
It seemed to try to imitate me - poorly, but in tone and cadence despite being “caw caw caw” - when I spoke to it. I tried to imitate it similarly poorly, which it seemed confused but interested by.

@dirk Peinlich für die kreative Zunft, diese selbstabsorbierten Ur-ur-urheber.

Did the European Parliament just outlaw the only Europe-made social network with #Article13?
Zeit, sich ein anderes Wort für "Urheber" zu überlegen.
Mit diesen unverantwortlichen, lamentierenden, weißen alten Filmkomponisten will ich ab heute nichts mehr zu tun haben!

It's been a while, so I thought I'd share this again.

Es bleiben 364 Tage im Jahr, an denen wir von euch die zusätzlichen 5 Minuten wollen, die Ihr darüber nachdenkt welche Frau Ihr stattdessen befördert, einstellt, einladet, nominiert.
Nicht weiß, nicht schön, über 50, queer, nicht deutsch, humpelnd: eins davon.

Join me on Friday when my friend and colleague Elke will finally release her new comic “Love Migration”.
Short, autobiographical episodes follow Elke falling in love with Russian queer activist Masha in St. Petersburg and their subsequent decision to live together in Berlin.
Elke will be presenting at this year’s International Womens’ Day celebrations of Quarteera, a Berlin-based Russian-speaking LGBTQ* organization. So also expect Russian queerfeminist standup comedy, open mike and much more!

i wish other countries would steal the bodies of prominent Brits and Americans to put on display in their museums.
not political leaders, but bodies of people we actually care about. like if Egypt just swiped the bodies of Stan Lee and David Bowie to put on display like "we just want to raise awareness and respect for their beautiful culture! $10 admission!"

Girl representation in superhero comics
So today in my kids workshop, this 14-year old superhero geek girl brought all her favourites:
No Spidey, no Batman, no Supes.
But Ms. Marvel, Spider Gwen, Batgirl, Black Canary, Lady Thor, even Squirrel Girl – all the good stuff, basically, and all of them girl heroes brimming with agency. And all of it available in German - the markets are a-changin‘, boys.
Thank you, geek girl. Made my day.
