I've been spending the last 6 months getting my health on autopilot by hiring a cook from Care .com to help with meal prep and tweaking my workouts and peptides mix.

A few friends have asked for more details so here's a thread of where I'm at.

A human being should be able to commit to a bit, disagree diplomatically, ask the right question, be a shoulder to cry on, find the grace to forgive, comfort the anxious, transcend self-concern, soothe an aching heart, and love without fear. Specialization is for insects.

This dude just ran an experiment where police worked together with a mobile primary care center on 6th St in SOMA. And then they documented their learnings after 30 days. This is what state capacity looks like. SF is headed in a good direction.

Here's a neat little Obsidian utility I built for helping me think clearly.

Type `/exa`, and it'll ask @ExaAILabs for a few articles arguing one side, and a few articles arguing the other side.

I went from 0 meditation in 2023 to 50 days of retreat in 2024. Over the break I wrote up what I learned: jasonbenn.com/tools-for-th...

this morning i was noodling on proxies for productivity, and it's remarkable how hard it is to design a measure that won't distort my behavior

"screenshot my screen 1x/min and compare it to my next todo" but what if a colleague taps my shoulder? what if i'm AFK? etc etc

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #15!

(Wait, really? That seems... wrong?)

[me telling my story how I survived a plane crash and lived on a deserted island for a year] it was crazy
[friend who once got a text from me where I accidentally called the grinch the grink] was the grink there?

You’re posted up in a hunting blind waiting for a buck. You see this guy, and focus your scope. Suddenly your eye is caught by movement in the ferns between his antlers. It’s… a tiny gnome? The little man in a pointed hat waves his hands in alarm. Wdyd?

Is this what happens when you scroll too much and don’t scoot?

This is also how I think Scenes should work: the public tweets of the members of the scene, optionally filtered by organizers using natural language.

Twitter Communities are terrible, nobody posts to them, and I hope Bluesky doesn’t repeat the mistake!

I predict that most tagging systems will be obsoleted by language models in the near future.

It’d be much easier to express this nuanced & idiosyncratic follow request in natural language than by choosing a set of tags!

First impressions:
- saw a mention of a scene during onboarding, promptly forgot about it, followed a bunch of users.
- saw something about Twitter OGs in my mentions, followed them, and SCENES ARE SUCH A GOOD IDEA.

256 characters is a nice touch 😂
