@z_rose 😱 This is the problem right here. ”I mean, what could possibly happen? Nothing’s ever happened to me.”

”Hundreds of computer servers worldwide that store patient X-rays and MRIs are so insecure that anyone with a web browser or a few lines of computer code can view patient records. One expert warned about it for years.”

@intrepidleeloo Yeah, @Cennydd has, and I'm now working as well on a blog post that definitely will.
@intrepidleeloo Not sure if you saw my full thread... Twitter seems to not mark them as clearly today... something's off.

@Cennydd @MrAlanCooper Oh wow, I feel a blog post ready to boil...
↪ Replying to @MrAlanCooper
@MrAlanCooper @Cennydd You need to read my whole thread there ;)
Struggling to decide if I should buy the new book from someone who wrote the readily accessible recipe for coercing people into habits that are potentially detrimental to their well-being...
These are the very serious checks suggested by this person to avoid harm:
1) Do you BELIEVE it improves people's lives.
2) Are you okay with using it yourself?
That's it, that's the deterrent that will help you avoid harm. 🤯
Nothing on actually speaking to people, involving people who are regular victims of prejudice and mistreatment, or even maybe regularly listening for harm. Nothing.
If the white dudes believe it's all good and they're fine getting high on their own supply - go for it.
On second thought, I'm not struggling with that decision at all, am I...
Sorry for the quick rant. Got a bit upset is all.
The primary habit I'm interested in killing off is the corporate habit of screwing over customers.
This person wrote the book to help create the problems that the new book promises to help the victims of said problems relieve themselves of, because it's now up to them.
Well played professor.
Articulated really well by @Cennydd here:

@neeraj True. But also I don't think that's the definition of insanity ;)
↪ Replying to @unknown
@carriehd Agree 😊. As a kid I'm not sure I understood the concept of practice in that sense. Fall over, fall over, fall over, fall over, fall over, success!! It's kind of crazy how that works... I tried learning a unicycle a couple years back but my adult brain truly is my enemy...
"The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results."
Every time I see this quote I think how happy I am to be insane, or otherwise I would never have learned to ride a bicycle.

@thebestsophist @hondanhon @losowsky Good one. I ordered the notebook version. Shipping to Sweden was more than the notebook 😂
Unbelievable should be watched in schools*. So many segments that are heartbreakingly educational about the treatment of women and the effects of biased communication.
*I suppose it should be watched by all men... and have someone to discuss it with.

Just finished the whole mini-series. Watch it. I mean, I know you may have been through shit that means you shouldn’t watch it... but if you, like me, are lacking in understanding of all the trauma surrounding, and fallout of, sexual assault - just watch it.
Stopped myself yet again from getting into a lengthy conversation on social media where the original poster was leaving too much information out for their firm declaration to be of value.
Not my job. I'm getting better at this and saving so much time. Yay me.

@JesperBylund My old novel... wrote it when I was 19. :) amazon.com/Little-Bossman…
@JesperBylund But yeah, I think I'd much rather write a novel now than another non-fiction book... I have a character but the storyline hasn't landed with me yet.
@JesperBylund What are you publishing?
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund I had better layout control with iBooks Author, but I felt it was better for shorter books. For my novel I'd use Pages again.
↪ Replying to @JesperBylund
@JesperBylund I used Pages on Mac, exported to epub and then used Calibre for converting to mobi and managing metadata.
@JesperBylund Second time i used iBooks author and used Calibre for the same purposes.
