@tsvenson Finding mental capacity to ignore notifications is the next step in our evolution :)

@Susanneax Twitter just probably likes you better ;) 😘
This works the same whether you're the leader of a company being reckless with deeply personal data or you're a leader inciting an insurrection. x.com/axbom/status/1…
Twitter often suggests that I turn on notifications. I have now told it to suggest this less often.
But there is no way to completely stop the notifications reminding me of my lack of notifications. I get the feeling Twitter is not happy with my behavior in this relationship.

@anettenovak Hm, det enda jag vet är att UNIX-tid utgår från 1/1 1970. Någon har misslyckats med en tidsstämpel i koden.

I want a wider selection of email signoffs. Help me brainstorm some memorable new ones.
* Sent from my desktop - please excuse the long form language
* As I wrote this email, 168 million emails were sent
* I’ve now written more than I know
* Please rate this e-mail: <link>

The only way to predict the future is to make it. Hence two main paths to avoiding accountability for the future:
1. Showing the receipts for how you resisted.
2. Plausible deniability of creating it:
Ergo:
“I don’t remember a conversation like that.”
Thread👇
“Plausible deniability is the ability of people, typically senior officials in a formal or informal chain of command, to deny knowledge of or responsibility for any damnable actions committed by others in an organizational hierarchy because of…
a lack or absence of evidence that can confirm their participation, even if they were personally involved in or at least willfully ignorant of the actions.”
— en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plausible…
Creating the conditions for “plausible avoidance of responsibility for one's future actions or knowledge” of course requires foresight.
Ironically: It requires that one creates this future.
And it’s created by having actions carried out covertly on one’s behalf by 3rd parties.
In effect, this *encourages* actions being carried out without the knowledge of leaders, to safeguard them from accountability. Which means mercenary operatives are given incentive to act independently, keeping leadership in the dark.
This gives us reason to truly question who we are allowing to create the future and what their end-goal is, when even the leadership – for their own protection – strives to know as little as possible.

After splitting all my web properties into different domains over the past two years I am this year planning a renewed consolidation. I'm doing large-scale corporate web strategy for a single-person company 😅

@EverydayExpPod @geoffwilsonHCD Everything is marketing and SEO these days. But I do totally agree with you. I've had a friend write a guest post once, because he wanted to reach out with a message on usability (on topic) but had no platform of his own. But 99% is link spam I suppose.

@chrisnoessel Nice, I do like the idea of actually putting a price tag on it too. I should go the Rolling Stone route 😅

@MarkoSaric Yes, it was the fourth(!) such reminder e-mail that triggered my tweet. Sent it all to spam now.

@TrialByTruth Thanks, this is also how I do it now and it’s often tiresome.
For LinkedIn I’ve actually removed the ability to connect with me without knowing my e-mail, and then I’ve created a custom e-mail address for LinkedIn that nobody knows. 😅

@ErikBernskiold Thank you, that actually makes me feel better.
If you get them, how do you deal with all the offers of guest posts on your blog? Do you respond, ignore, send to dev/null They are a time suck and they obviously are crafted to make me feel rude for not responding.
