Every now and then when I'm craving JUNK in the evenings I'll actually remember: a slice of toast is great! 🀯

I believe the one-year mortality rate for falling down the stairs is 1 in 125,000 or so.

I've started calling this the stair bar. If the thing a person is worried about is less likely than dying from stairs, maybe they shouldn't worry about it....

I've ever only seen these in front of speed humps for cars. Confusing!

To be fair, us tech people are the ones that pooched this up. By making sharing files comically difficult on mobile and disabling text selection in native apps, we've trained people that screenshots are the only reliable way to share information.

I'm unfamiliar, what is the Financial Sense argument?

A huge shift in my psyche in the last few years has been accepting that evil villains actually exist and we need to organize appropriately.

The fate of fossil fuel systems in the "mid-transition" I talk with Emily Grubert about the hidden dangers of letting the free market manage the decline of our legacy energy infrastructure.

This episode is suuuuuuuper interesting. Too many good points to enumerate! I think about this a lot for my friends in oil and also for my country as a whole...

... But I also think that every point in this episode needs to be considered for AI transitions too!

I want to make an app with two buttons in it, and when some tidy person turns their nose up at a person in the street, I shove the app at them and have them make a choice:

[Show Compassion and Grace]
[Let them Suffer and Die]

..though I'm worried I would learn things I don't want to about people.

If we could figure out how normies could improve train times to make a buck, I'd feel very differently hahaha. But the problem with all this betting stuff is that destruction is easier than creation, missing is easier than scoring, etc...

Like, they could have just had more output if this was handled humanely (in theory, best case), but they decided that firing people and burning out the rest is actually The Right Move, which tells you how they're gonna feel about 4 day work week or AI taxes for EI, and so on.

There's been several prominent AI boosters that have put out articles recently to the effect that bosses use AI to make you work harder, not easier. There's a whole new kind of burnout people are experiencing because staff get cut and the remainder are expected to fill the gap and more...

Normally I'd be like, "they just didn't realize, right? Right?" but now I'm super jaded and kind of assume they see it as an advertisement to their in-group... 😭
