I've had fun running Land Talks this last year, and we're ending it with a pub quiz. If you're in London two week's on Tuesday, and fancy a more relaxing and social evening, with people who want to improve Britain's land system, see you there! luma.com/c5944qgc

Really happy to interview @michaelashcroft.com on my podcast "Imagine an apple" about the inner experience of Alexander Technique. What is it like to experience “open awareness”? What’s the difference between doing and non-doing? Really enjoyed this one! zencastr.com/z/ST9vDWiJ

New season of my podcast "Imagine an apple" starting. Today is my co-host Vynn interviewing me about my new favourite book... zencastr.com/z/MlzU79lP (more in thread)

Times of day when I wake up from a dream and react well enough to record a description of it.

Screenshot is a quote from Hurlburt's writeup of someone who most of the time has no particularized inner experience. hurlburt.faculty.unlv.edu/ieo/mel/mel%...

My review of Silksong and the difficulty discourse around it... It doesn't need an easy mode, it needs a *hard* mode. People with naturally good reactions and observation skills are finding it too easy. They need a hard mode to make it as hard as it is for me!

If you're in London - my third evening of lightning talks about Radical Land Policy is next Tuesday - have a look at the Luma page to see the speakers! luma.com/v8knl21z

If you're in London, and think land policy needs to be more radical, come to Land Talks #2, a second evening of lightning talks I'm co-organising. First three speakers - on the Postcode Address File, Freehold and Yellowstone (TV show) - are up: lu.ma/cthbcn45

Great to be at the inaugural Land Talks Lightning talks on land in art, Scotland's 'log cabin conundrum', building on MoD land and more with @flourish.org

I'm organising three lightning talk evenings in Farringdon on Tuesday evenings, about radical land policy and digital tech. They're called "Land Talks". lu.ma/mm4dg8fy Please sign up, follow the Luma calendar, and share this with others who want to help improve how property works in Britain!

Just learned from @flourish.org’s “imagine an apple” podcast that permanent musical soundtracks are part of some people’s inner experience and here is another one!

Love the new "Imagine an apple" podcast episode with my friend Anna. I'm excited to cover both the topics of what happens in your mind while navigating a city, and of imagination while programming. Plus Vynn asks questions about names and faces.

Step one of understanding Bluesky's protocol. Resolve your handle into the unique identifier your account has - you can just make the URL to do that in your browser: bsky.social/xrpc/com.atp...

Multiple people getting engaged. It's cute! And I went to a December wedding. Is winter the romantic season now?

Is there something like Just watch but for audiobooks? That will tell me what platforms I can buy one on! (Don't want to use Audible)

Absolutely disgrace. Years of trying to lock kids up for Napster, discontinuing movies because of music rights, YOU WOULDN'T STEAL A CAR promo bullsh*t and they're ready to give it ALL away to big tech billionaires

Just wrote to my MP for the first time for years about this... AI is a useful technology, but it is both unfair and harmful for the supply of training data, to break copyright law "because AI".

Really cool that bsky has a feed that shows all the recent posts from people who follow me. I can see what you are all up to. How fun.

@defnetmedia.bsky.social this feels like time travel back to like 2010-era Twitter when I first met you at like a Twitter meetup (remember those! do you have Bluesky meetups now!)

Ye /any_austin. $3 w monthly exclusive videos and Q&As. Occasionally other things. Appreciate it!

If you haven’t seen @anyaustin.bsky.social’s videos about video games on YouTube… you should. They’re cool. He goes into cool minutiæ like employment rates of various towns. This one is about power lines. He mentions a familiar twitter user that doesn’t seem to exist anymore youtu.be/c3iqVTDXK1Y?...

@anyaustin.bsky.social do you have a Patreon? for some reason you joining Bluesky has tipped me over into wanting to add you to my list.

@todepond.com wait it worked?

Chatting to a friend about the bit 41:50 in this episode of my podcast where @berbank.bsky.social is asking us to imagine being a chair. zencastr.com/z/RxQHflJr And we end up talking about the sense of being at one with a car, and whether/how our being is always constructed even in our own bodies.

"Claude, create the worlds most annoying CAPTCHA" "Make it more annoying" "Make it REALLY annoying" (apparently this is all technically solvable)

Oh my gosh, here's Caroline Lucas! @carolinelucas.bsky.social Happy days.

Moss-clad temperate rainforest regenerating along a Dartmoor river valley. Old uncoppiced hazels, gnarled willows, valley mires, Elf Cup lichens, & a purple-green Parrot Waxcap. Some of Dartmoor’s best habitats are on its edges, where grazing has reduced & nature has bounced back

The creativity the feed algorithm feature allows is extraordinary... Wondering what will emerge from it.

It's odd watching the whole of Google Search seem to die. This story is notable: 1. The emptiness of the entire main Google campus - yes, it might be a remote first company now, but then you'd rent out / sell the campus? And have lots of presence online talking about remote working etc.

It’s worth reading the first hand account of the publishers at that Google meeting www.giantfreakinrobot.com/tech/google-...

hello! if you are feeling overstimulated—anxious, tense, distracted—it's easy to get stuck in a loop where you just get more overstimulated. If that's you right now, I'd invite you to stop scrolling, turn off the podcast, put your phone down and remove inputs for 30 mins see how you feel!

Mind Over Magnet is coming out tomorrow! So I'm gonna put together a thread of all the cool stuff I see about the game. Starting with... store.steampowered.com/app/2685900/...

Starter pack of people to follow who campaign for right to roam and related land justice issues in the UK. go.bsky.app/K6UmtN8

Hello! Looking for new bluesky gang who care about the NHS! Twitter is a truly terrible place and I’m sure many of us were connected on there. Could you like and share this, and I’ll follow you back? Ju🤞💙

Listening to next episode of "Imagine an apple" coming out soon. It's about spiritual experiences - we chat with Jessica Corneille, a psychology researcher who awoke one day with a different experience of the world. It's really good. Love it when Vynn edits episodes!

Word of the day "Autonoetic consciousness" - basically the ability to imagine yourself in the past or future.

Gah, psychology papers are so annoyingly locked up in closed journals in the way computer science ones aren't.
