The only real way to communicate your values to someone else is to consistently enact them in full view, while remaining curious about the ways in which their experience of you differs from what you’d intended. Stop using words, lol

AI affordances risk destroying social capital by • undermining expertise • short-circuiting decision making • isolating people useful framing from @hartzog.bsky.social & @jessicasilbey.bsky.social If we want these qualities to persist we should design and protect workflows that reinforce them

a therapist called Bion once claimed that "the purest form of listening is to listen without memory or desire" it's similar to what Freud called hovering attention, or alert passivity, and modern psychoanalysts call 'evenly suspended attention' something I'll spend my life trying to get better at

If you’re going to have a midlife crisis, you should at least try to make it generative rather than consumptive

This really is just like being on your phone… although if I’m honest it was slightly less dissociative and more entertaining than normal. Other than that would highly recommend.

reciprocals are really useful, especially when someone sends you a screenshot of a KPI showing a big % change and you're curious what it was before, then you remember reciprocals are really simple but feel like magic, and this is the kind of thing you should do in the evenings to relax

it’s funny to think about, but vitality comes from desire, and desire really does function like a carrot on a stick… the ideal carrot is something that remains fresh and out of reach… you don’t want it to go stale, or worse, actually eat it

I kicked off 2025 by closing 1432 tabs (even I was a bit surprised), and removing 194 apps from my phone, 18 of which don’t even work anymore.

One of my unpopular opinions is that you should live your life in service of others, and the biggest threats to your wellbeing are over-indexing on self-care, benchmarking yourself against the global elite, and failing to recognise algorithms as paperclip maximisers

Very excited for this! Deal with decision fatigue and support social mobility by playing games at the same time as your friends! I love the idea of community game passes, and proud of the @intogames.bsky.social team for making it happen.

I’m thankful that a place like this exists… that the bluesky team believed in this enough to build it, that they continue to articulate their intent so well, and that people are remembering social media can be a place where creativity and positivity can flourish (if you choose!)

this is very funny… even as someone committed to the importance of decentralisation I still feel the flinch haha

It’s pretty clear that this place is already a lot more useful than X. That makes me a little sad… twitter had a massive positive influence on my life and there’s a huge amount of value there that people are willing to see burn because they dislike Musk. Hopefully this place will be different! 👀

We need to talk about Misty! (the most *wonderfully* frustrating card in pokemon tcg pocket and latest contributor to the randomness-in-game-design discourse)
The Misty card from Pokemon TCG Pocket game. The text on the card says "Choose 1 of your water Pokemon, and flip a coin until you get tails. For each heads, take a water Energy from your Energy Zone and attach it to that Pokemon.
