Test e-mailing myself with a song intro and Google's suggested responses brought me into an existential conundrum đ

1. Ok, I'm sorry, you will soon become aware of another way to waste away your precious time. But it's so immensely satisfying you may actually thank me. Just maybe.
2. For many years I've been using a browser script called "Kick Ass". The idea is very simple: on any web page, yes ANY WEB PAGE, you can activate a space ship that can shoot and destroy all the bits of content on the page... text, images, and so on.
3. Sounds awesome, right!? And it so very much is. Here's a video of me shooting away on a @Telegraph page (with some added guidance for you).
4. Point of no return. Here is the link to add it to your browser. Now go work on your anger management issues and I'll see you in a couple of hours. (That big button you see that says "Launch Kick Ass" - just drag it to your bookmarks.) kickassapp.com

@jessicaivins I feel more creative. I make surprising and enlightening connections between what Iâm reading and whatâs going on in my personal and work life. Reading Frankenstein right now has inspired a blog post with new takes on ethics (in the works). I start new conversations at work.
@jessicaivins Reading fiction in bed before falling asleep also makes me sleep better, oddly enough.
@jessicaivins Hereâs a reading tip. Itâs very different from anything else Iâve read, and I imagine most people love or hate it. But thereâs nothing hard about reading it =)

@jessicaivins Over the past year Iâve forced myself to read more fiction and am amazed by how much better it makes me feel. Iâm aiming for every other book to be fiction.

@NathanaelB @noj Kudos for trying! This is where Twitter needs a âlongdescâ feature, allowing a link to a page that includes all the text.
1. Take breaks
2. Get enough sleep
3. Exercise
4. Read fiction
5. Donât multitask
6. Every day, make a list of tasks for the next day
This list is easy enough to write. But how do I write a list to enforce this list? đ The answer may be a weekly schedule encompassing all.

Up late proofreading Twitterâs official stance on how they approve of world leaders who attack and hate on others. ânight all.
#TwitterApprovesOfLeadersWhoHate
Link: blog.twitter.com/official/en_usâŠ
To sum up the points Iâm making, Twitterâs stance is that they intend to *advance* global conversation. But if you do not consciously choose direction you are almost always supporting the direction of those who already have the strongest, most privileged, voices.
Twitter goes on to say that deleting [hateful] tweets will hide important information. Yet at the same time say that this will not silence the voice. So which one is it? Twitter is certainly capable of discussing topics that do not originate on the platform.
In a worrying display of doublespeak, Twitter then asserts that they are working hard to remain unbiased, after literally just saying that they are biased when it comes to how they value the tweets of leaders. They treat them according to political context.
This line also worries me: âWe are working to make Twitter the best place to see and freely discuss everything *that matters*.â (my emphasis). Obviously then Twitter have an idea of what matters, which puts a bit of a damper on the word âfreelyâ.
Missing from this announcement is any reference to Twitterâs own terms of use, the notion of suspending accounts (they only bring up deleting tweets), and the primary reason we are even having this discussion: Donald Trump. There is an elephant in the room that should be named.
Also there is a lot of âweâ and âbestâ in the last paragraph that I could not avoid poking fun at. Very little said about the people the platform intends to support(?).

The real problem is that Twitter doesnât make it default; that should be your story right there. x.com/thenextweb/staâŠ

@markusandrezak @OvercastFM Ok, Iâll try in an hour again. Not been at a desktop computer all day.
@markusandrezak @OvercastFM Worked now straight away! Must have been a temporary hiccup.
I honestly donât know what to make of these types of quotes anymore; but I know they tend to get retweeted a lot. Is there a possibility that they do more harm than good, that more people feel worse rather than inspired (as Iâm sure is the intent)? x.com/james_clear/stâŠ
@markusandrezak Trying to add your podcast on @OvercastFM on my iPhone, but it keeps failing. Is the RSS feed not working? (havenât had time to bug search myself)
