@lillerik 😊 Are you saying they only had 2-3 originals at the time I expressed frustration about this?
This is painful to read because it is so very real. x.com/Alex_Danco/sta…
When nazis hire PR firms to normalize hate.
"Rather than wearing white hoods or aggressive skinhead gear—think: buzzcuts, tattoos, swastikas—the modern far right strives to look as bland, inoffensive, and middle class as possible."

Attending an event? You can inquire about #accessibility even when it does not affect you personally. This also goes for many situations in everyday life. Making spaces accessible benefits all of us.

@anndaramola I use Feedbin. Bringing in newsletters as well is a nice touch. feedbin.com

@intrepidleeloo My absolute first thought is that it's not for a coach to advise in that way. My second thought is that I'm not sure I understand what the 'junior' prefix accomplishes in a profession that is not regulated.

@jessicamalonso Exactly! Let's make a movie about how social media is addictive and now let's discuss how we can create positive addiction based on OUR value system. It's absurd really.
In the past 4 hours I've been tweeting but also creating the outline for two new tutorial videos and one talk. All through mindmapping on my iPad. It's incredible how much time mindmapping saves me when preparing. The holistic perspective and flexibility also brings confidence.
Before you ask, I use @simplemindapp, which also syncs to my Mac.
This is what a mindmap can turn out looking like. I also have a completely new type of visualization of the elements of digital ethics in the works.

Meanwhile, at Microsoft:
The company has been granted a patent for chatbots using the personal information of deceased people.
(Consider not only the implications of 3D talking models of people no longer with us, but the fact MS want to patent it.)

Hearing Yuval Noah Harari talk about democracy, nationalism (in the sense of having compassion for people you do not know, not the hate version of nationalism), and how elections are not a necessary marker for a democracy – has had me in deep thought all week.
I hesitate to link to the podcast because I am also very frustrated with the blind techsolutionism offered by the hosts. And am not a huge fan of Humane Tech org. But here you go. It's two hours, not many will listen to it anyway ;)

I am also frustrated with how Harari keeps referring to an AI that "knows" more about you than you yourself know. Using the word "knows" infers a type of sentience that risks misleading people. More intrigued by the lack of ethics philosophy to address the next paradigm shift.
To get where I'm coming from with my techsolutionism comment: When Tristan and Asa keep talking about an AI sidekick that helps you make healthy choices all I can think about is a child in DR Congo mining cobalt for their AI batteries.
Their wild confidence in how behavior adjustment works (and what is worth adjusting) is revealing about their value system. Harari challenges this from time to time. Do I make the AI help me become a "beautiful person" or help me appreciate who I already am?
I need to write something about all these impressions but it's hard to make it about one thing right now. We'll see if mindmapping helps.
So many working hard to improve the lives of the people who are already really well-off…
The first public working draft of WCAG 3.0 is out!

@standupmackan Och människor i fattigstugor fick inte rösträtt förrän 1945. Det vore verkligen bättre – och mer ärligt – att fira framgångar med en tydlighet kring vad som faktiskt gjorts och vad som finns kvar att göra.
