Tonight: Sheila Liming, author, "Office"

• Post by Aral Balkan, replying to Google's Alex Hanna: "Congratulations on the union. How you reconcile your position as 'Ethical #AI' at a company whose business model is to profile us and use that intimate insight to manipulate us for profit? How's your presence any different to that of a doctor in a cigarette ad for Big Tobacco?"
• Thread by recent guest Cory Doctorow: "There are lots of problems with ad-tech:
* being spied on all the time means that the people of the 21st century are less able to be their authentic selves;
* any data that is collected and retained will eventually breach, creating untold harms;
* data-collection enables for discriminatory business practices ("digital redlining");
* the huge, tangled hairball of adtech companies siphons lots (maybe even most) of the money that should go creators and media orgs; and
* anti-adblock demands browsers and devices that thwart their owners' wishes, a capability that can be exploited for even more nefarious purposes;
That's all terrible, but it's also IRONIC, since it appears that, in addition to everything else, ad-tech is a fraud, a bezzle. . . .
• How Much of the Internet Is Fake? Turns Out, a Lot of It, Actually (by Max Read in New York magazine, Dec 26, 2018): "The metrics are fake."

Where have I been? It feels like it's been a long time? I dunno.
Glad to be here. As an office person, I am very interested in how capital tried to retrench and use pandemic habits to further precariatize and anomize workers and take away the already ragged solidarity among them.
Hey, ultradamno!

I don't have to use it and recently tried very hard to defeat an effort to get us to try it. In abeyance, at least for now.

Thanks, Mark! I realized I was in Jersey City during the show last week last year -- which feels like forever ago already!

Went freelance the night I got laid off. 12 years later and I've only been in an office if the client wanted me to proofread on paper there b/c secrecy or whatnot.

By contrast, I proofread Jenna Fischer's "how to get into acting"/autobio and she made the Office US set sound much kinder than the UK show. Also she was an utter dear to read and possibly learn from.

She couldn't accept my signing of the emailed page. Then emailing it back...
My image of this woman in her office cube with low-tech persisting is sad.
