Twitter in its current state exists entirely to feed you propaganda, brainrot, and ragebait. The largest majority of the site’s activity (if you can call it that) is bots trying to dunk on eachother for engagement.
Stop using that site.

So yes, of course, learning to do new things, especially creative things is important at any age but there is a real & unprecedented urgency at this time for art to make a difference & especially to have the voices of young people heard.

One thing that every David Lynch film has in common is that he loved really dense sound design. If you don't have big speakers, it's worth watching any of them with good headphones. There is a *lot* of detail to be heard.

Looks like the article has been updated to suggest maybe they misread the policy.
I see people complaining that this also disabled their spam filters, though I still see new messages showing up in spam so it's still working fine for me after disabling things.

This is a good time to read this trilogy if you haven't already.
So it’s the tenth birthday of Midnight, a book that was nearly but not quite a lot of things. Happy birthday, little book. Still looking good.

Great interview, but be careful: there’s a link in there that comes across as unassuming but leads to an academic paper that you may feel compelled to read/hoard w/all your other academic pdfs.

Bluesky suspended Sarah Kendzior today for no reason whatsoever. She just shared excerpts of her articles, which were as always incisive and not offensive at all. Hey @pfrazee.com this is super not OK. I know her- we've interacted a fair bit via chats and her work is essential.

In the midst of all that we are facing, I want us to think about who we are being told to look to for understanding in this moment, who is being propped up as the voice of wisdom, and ask how right were they in predicting this, a year ago, 5, 8 years ago, and then ask why they are being centered now

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.
Here's how to turn it off.

Writing - every day - is practicing thinking clearly over and over until it becomes almost natural.
Worst case: you’ve lost twenty minutes a day that you’d likely have lost scrolling your phone anyway.
