1967ers

I’m not sure what magic caused this to appear in my timeline but it gave me a nudge at a point where I really needed a nudge (or maybe a good hard shove). It also spoke to a core fear: that I’d get there and nobody would believe me. How can this be a problem now at 48?

@Leafer1984 @emilydawnlove This will be their fourth city. They’ve never been that stable.

@IntuitMachine Since I don’t have an internal image to work off, I have to derive the visual on the fly. If there are any gaps in either my knowledge or understanding, I can’t draw it at all because I can’t draw something I don’t understand. This causes issues with concept modeling.

@IntuitMachine I’m very good at understanding complex systems and interactions precisely because I don’t have to render them internally as 2D or 3D images. I can feel the interactions between components as they change with time. Representing this in drawing, however, can be a challenge.

1/n The spectrum between hyperphantasia and aphantasia seems to be extremely informative in explaining divergent ways of constructing thoughts. This is also useful in understanding how conflicts are resolved. quantamagazine.org/what-happens-i…

@ryanjjvance Don’t bother. It’s not related.

@kingvb_iii It’s not a problem.

CHML had been on the air for 97 years. On their last full day of operation, they weren't screaming about political enemies. They were talking about the night sky and how the kids and parents of Hamilton could best enjoy this special, spectacular thing. Oh well.

@RahRahRaina “What if Burton Cummings happened to be an Olympic-calibre athlete?”

@1967ers Sport. Individual sports. There’s a winner/there’s a loser. That’s not what you’re talking about but I appreciate the reach!

A 37 year old Novak Djokovic who TORE his MENISCUS a mere 39 days ago, defeating a 21 year old Carlos Alcaraz in a Wimbledon Final on grass courts….would have been the greatest individual achievement in the history of any sport. There would have been nothing else to compare it to.

@1Hauck @joshgessner You very quickly learn that visualization exercises are a waste of your time - at least those of the type usually described.

@joshgessner Would love to know what happens to folks with aphantasia

This is Bob Bowman. The man behind Michael Phelp's world records. He taught Michael a technique that made him the greatest of all time... Here's that technique:

@BrentToderian People Not Cars

@jzellis Or Lego.

Unless you're on rocks or pavement, then bare feet are Real Real Bad. Trust me on this. 😂❤️

Leafs vs Blackhawks in 1948

@Nubbyderg @JoCat105 Sounds hot.

@JoCat105 Sorry about being unrealistic, but what about big girls with scales and can breathe fire and have wings and are actually dragons?

@SeanMorleyDixon Recognition and visualization aren’t the same thing, though. One is basically pattern matching, the other is experiential. When you see a loved one, you don’t pull up an image from memory to validate that yes, it’s really them. You know instantaneously.

The nurse said she needed some urine to test for potassium. "K," I said. Silence. "I bet everyone makes that joke," I say. She's like "In 15 years of nursing not one person has made that joke"

@ryanfancey @L69fs Almost as tall on his knees as Allan Bester was standing up.

Not the point at all but we’ll never see anything like the gear evolution of goalies who played from the 80s into the 2000s ever again. It’s genuinely one of the marvels of human history.
