Apparently, I was “trying to get likes, follows, shares, or video views in a misleading way.” Perhaps I did mislead you.Continue reading “Ruminations on book burnings, censorship and Facebook content moderators”

Ruminations on Digressions
Aweh, My Dearly Beloved Fellow Ruminants & Groupies So, what is a digression? Think of it as a conversational detour, like a drunken uncle at a wedding starting with the bride’s dress but somehow ending up reminiscing about eating raw beaver testicles in Scandinavia to improve his virility.

Ruminations on sustainability
The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals Aweh dearly beloved fellow ruminants & groupies In 2023 I was assigned to teach a postgraduate course on sustainability.
