When I need an energy boost I play this track [The Dickies: Banana Splits] and play the related scene from Kick-Ass in my head, jumping around like the crazy person I am.

“A lot of politicians like to say how good everything is. I like to say how bad everything is — in the spirit of making it better.” California Sunday contributing writer @AndyKroll looks at Jerry Brown’s final year in office. clsndy.co/jerry-brown
↪ Replying to @Jusque
@Jusque Sorry I completely missed your response. I’ve attended mostly UX design conferences where things like ”choice overload”, ”priming”, ”ego depletion” are considered universal design truths, whereas little time is set aside for contextualising these truthisms.
[sv] Bra av Brit om hur medier misslyckats granska, och helt okritiskt gett medieutrymme baserat på likes och det egna jagandet av detsamma. Vi behöver prata om medierna som ”nyttiga idioter” i sammanhanget. x.com/britstakston/s…
«Kenyans were warned in ads that the election of [...] Raila Odinga would lead to an invasion of Ethiopian refugees, attacks from Somalian terrorists and an epidemic of disease. In Nigeria, a video claimed electing Buhari would mean “Sharia for all.”»

@dunkels Kälkborgerlig, som syns i din bild, är ett underbart ord jag lärde mig av Birgitta Hammars översättning av Räddaren i nöden. Får väl idag närmast betydelsen ”att leva i en filterbubbla”. Tyvärr försvann det från boken när Klas Östergren fick göra om översättningen.
If only more people had spent 76 work days reading all the privacy policies...

@GustaveLund Om vi alla bara hade 76 arbetsdagar att avvara för att läsa alla integritetspolicys så skulle vi vara så mycket mer förståndiga ;)

What’s the name of that bias where you believe in the existence of every single bias in Nir Eyal’s books?

@michaelehead Good examples.
Here is an article on the controversial slow-walk effect: old-classes.design4complexity.com/7702-F12/surve… (this is an ongoing debate)
And one on the jam study: unv.is/ft.com/content…
I do believe it’s dangerous to extrapolate results to general, global human traits.
@michaelehead If choice is always bad, someone should tell Starbucks they’re doing it wrong 😜
As a childhood fan of Archie Comics and an adult fan of remixes, Netflix’s Riverdale is one I really enjoy. It’s both bizarre and on point. But don’t read this if you want to avoid spoilers. theoutline.com/post/3830/rive…

What's the best podcast covering the ins and outs of the Cambridge Analytica story? Or rather, the podcast covering it best... ;)
Last rant this morning. If you are going to include end-users in your design process, please don't include them "just because that's what you do". Spend time preparing sessions, care for people, provide feedback and allow time for making good use of all learnings.
These are the most important people you can ever meet when it comes to your design. Please, please, treat them as the important people they are and don't scare them away from ever participating again.
Okay, pouring my coffee now.

@ilovegraphics It's all so bizarre. One more slide for the ethics slidedeck.

@ilovegraphics Wait, what did I miss...?
@ilovegraphics Ok, I found it. Amazing. It seems online services just can't help but go rogue...
Also, completely non-conformant with GDPR ??
