how is it 2023 and nobody's come up with a satisfying explanation as to why cell phones never show up in our dreams if we're using them for 12 hours a day?

I like this idea. If I was an academic, I would run a bizarro "open lab" where I post all the ideas I didn't have time for, and then have bounties for anyone who shows the initiative. scibetter.com/openlabs Increase the surface area of serendipity.

5/ So next time you're considering using crypto to make a purchase, consider using a zero knowledge proof cryptocurrency like Zcash for added privacy and security. I am sure you don't want anyone to know how much crypto you have.

@AmyChanta Agreed. But even as a non-leader, I find my desire for being on a screen 14 hours a day has diminished with age. I often don't feel like cracking open my computer after hours even for creative projects.

Hah, not me taking up woodworking, gardening, and beekeeping in the last few years. As a leader, I feel it necessary to engage in lower stakes activities. Work usually means making decisions that shape other people's careers and futures, and I need outlets for improvisation.

Very interested to try this cooperative board game about climate change from the creator of Pandemic. backerkit.com/c/alex-hague/d…

@danlyke I think eventually every javascript developer comes to a different conclusion about "how things should be done" and thus a new framework is born.

JavaScript believes strongly that there's more than one way to do it, and every environment believes that all of the other ways are heretical and should cause obscure misleading error messages.

OMG In the Penguin Random House/S&S antitrust trial it was revealed that out of 58,000 trade titles published per year, half of those titles sell fewer than one dozen books. LESS THAN ONE DOZEN.

Time zones are weird. I just got back from the UK which is now 8 hours and 150 years ahead of us.

@AllieTheIcon Give in to both.

heavenbanning, the hypothetical practice of banishing a user from a platform by causing everyone that they speak with to be replaced by AI models that constantly agree and praise them, but only from their own perspective, is entirely feasible with the current state of AI/LLMs

Pro Tip: To crescendo on a held note on piano, you simply play the chord, then ask the audience to run towards the piano at high speed

@danlyke While we're at it, could we not put sirens into songs that you might listen to in the car?

Indie music producers: I am *begging* you, please consider that people might listen to your work on headphones, and don't put an instrument just in one ear and assume that room reflections will even it out.

I found the most Japanese show ever. Aimed at kids (I think), it reminds me of Pocoyo or maybe Pingu.

Every supervillain has a backstory- here's mine. Why Do I Look Like...This? The SexyCyborg Origin Story A few of you know the broad strokes, this is more detail about how it happened- youtu.be/Z9vW_MpXTfs

Ugh. Somehow I tweeted this twice without noticing.

I like to select purple as my accent color in MacOS. Or as I like to call it, PrinceOS.
