I'd could go a mass extinction right now.

I've got a shitload of crisps and tea to watch it with.

How about a nuclear holocaust? When I think of 'mass extinction' I'm reminded of The Matrix and its "humans are a virus" bullshit. Humans are sound.

Individual ones are okay, I guess.

Taken as a whole, they are unremitting assholes.

Dude have you not been watching True Detective? Everyone agrees humans are a virus these days. An evolutionary mistake!

Facebook announced changes to its privacy and advertising policies on its company blog last Thursday, extending Facebook's ability to track users outside of Facebook -- undoing previous assurances it "does not track users across the web."

Fuck facebook

A recent, partially Army-funded study conscripted Facebook users as unwitting participants during a weeklong experiment in direct emotional manipulation. The study set out to discover if the emotional tone of a users’ News Feed content had an impact on their own emotional makeup, measured through the tone of what they posted to the social service after viewing the skewed material.

Nearly 700,000 Facebook users were shown either more positive, or more negative content. The study found that users who were given more positive news feeds posted more positive things, and users who were given more negative news feeds posted more negative things.

Surprising? Doubtful. Unethical? Yes.

How can we make the non tech savvy folks come into the actual internet and not just one or two websites?
