Okay, hive mind (especially ADHD brains), give me your best resources for someone starting from scratch with Canva who is mildly convinced of her own tech ineptitude.

I keep seeing people saying "We shouldn't be calling it artificial intelligence, because it isn't!" The phrase isn't going anywhere. We just need to remind people what "artificial" (colloquially) means.

When you have an audience or a business you have to ensure that you always provide a lot more value to people than you extract from them. If you don't then, long term, it all breaks down. Young people I talk to today...they feel like the whole entire world has broken this contract with them.

Rest is *good*, unscheduled time is *good.* You are not always either producing or decaying. Creativity flows from shutting things up enough to hear yourself, to be able to synthesize everything youโve taken in lately.

This week, MAGA figures claimed Kristi Noem "stared down" violent antifa protesters in Portland. Turns out they were talking mostly about a guy in a chicken suit. This episode opens a window into how MAGA propaganda works and MSM failure to handle it. 1/ (new piece)

MAGA Implodes over Kristi Noemโs โStare Downโ with Man in Chicken Suit
A good New York Times piece on Portland nevertheless demonstrates how the conventions of objective reporting fail to accurately capture the bad faith driving pro-Trump propaganda.

All I want in life is to persuade everyone, when encountering politics & culture, to ask, "why are we talking about this?" I mean that very literally: anything you encounter on your screens reflects a choice. Someone covered that, talked about that, rather than the many other things out there. Why?

Folks, you can't report the United States to its manager. There's no superhero coming to save us. We don't need one giant act of heroism. We need millions of small acts of solidarity. Help one person in your community for nothing in return. Then, do it again. And again. That's the revolution.

Periodic reminder that if you have a human brain, you are not immune to bias. We are each responsible for verifying what we see. Nobody going to do it for us, and multiple industries count on us not doing so. If I reflexively agree with something I see? That's my cue to check it MORE carefully.

and related tales (Aarne-Thompson-Uther Type 451). Currently imbibing as many variants, adaptations, and retellings as I can get my grubby little hands on. Do you have a favorite?
