Fascinated by the transparency demonstrated in the page Our Mistakes, kept up-to-date by @GiveWell. The page “logs mistakes we've made, ways in which our organization has failed or currently fails to live up to our values, and lessons we've learned.”
givewell.org/about/our-mist…
-> Needless to say, all organizations should have a log like this.
Beautiful piece.

@MaiselTV Thank you for this. Made my d... wee... year!!
So @MaiselTV acknowledged my fanship and I'm overjoyed ❤️. I believe this beats @RealHughJackman liking one of my tweets years ago.

I've wanted to visit Iceland since forever but I’ve never wanted to visit Iceland more.

@Loukas_RS I have plans to build a podcasting studio. If you’re in that mindset, it would be cool to interview you about your thoughts, worries and needs.

@Loukas_RS How many hosts? Online or face-to-face interviews? Same physical location or shifting locations?
Ball-park figure recommendation: 5.000 - 8.000 SEK.
But of course you can always start much cheaper. :)
For editing Audacity will usually suffice.
I am so happy to have invested in this microphone after many years of longing.

The trigger for me finally buying this retro 50s-styled microphone was binge-watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. I kept seeing it day after day after day. 😅
Happy #WorldUsabilityDay 2021.
This year's theme is Design of our Online World: Trust, Ethics and Integrity. Here's what that means:

@m3untold Yes that sounds easier for everyone ;)
The bus ticket example is where Stockholm is headed fast, where tickets are bought and kept in the app, or our credit cards are what we tap. Convenient for some. Not so shareable 😬
Happy #WorldUsabilityDay!
Three decades ago I could lend my purchased books, movies and bus tickets to friends. And I could buy them anonymously. Today I can't do either of those. It's incredible to live in this fast-paced tech revolution. What a ride. Great job everyone! 🙌
I am aware that many of us tech-savvy people can still do many of these things. My primary frustration is that doing these things have become more difficult (with intentional obstacles) for many, many people. The tweet is *mostly* about usability, in honor of the day.

@TwitterMktgUK Way to read the room…

Overlay text 2: ”Ultimate #FuckAllVictimsOfClimateChange: Getting ready for the Black Friday hustle after Earth Overshoot Day fell on July 29.”
This is the most eloquent and beautiful takedown, bringing light to the tech moguls inability to even understand the basic premise of the science fiction they claim to adore and build on. I may have to make it compulsory listening in my ethics course.

More by Jill Lepore:
”Much science fiction in the middle of the century was meant as a warning of how science could come to dominate our lives. But young Elon Musk, Lepore says, instead found the dystopian future exciting.”

If you’re looking for realistic near-future books this is a great list by @divyastweets:

Why is everyone not talking about #Dickinson? It’s pure brilliance. The mashup of period piece and poetry with modern music, slang and mystic interludes really works for me. And @HaileeSteinfeld speaks to her own performance with this line: ”Nailed it!”.
smh.com.au/culture/tv-and…
Bliss.
Also love these quick nuggets of insights provided by @internetalena (the creator of @Dickinson) in 2-3 minute clips. This one about the symbiosis of spiritualism and the women’s movement was really good.

@pauspling I de neurovetenskapliga böcker jag läser återkommer ofta det här fallet, där en man plötsligt uppvisade sexuell attraktion till barn, som sedan försvann efter att en hjärntumör avlägsnades. Fortfarande extremt ovanligt samband dock, ska påpekas.

What if air pollution itself is affecting our ability to take sensible steps towards reducing our climate impact?
How does air pollution correlate with cognitive performance, criminal activity and unethical behavior?
