"'Love’ is such an active word loses its depth in English. The Igbo word for love, “Ifunanya”, means “I see you”. I. See. You. What do you see when you look at fellow humans? What do we do with a structure of knowledge that cannot see many of the bodies, spaces, and times it governs?"

Fully expect A.I. to take over low value, menial, unproductive jobs like CEO, COO, etc.

If you're using artists' work to train your A.I. to be better at writing, creating images, music etc, then you're training it to compete with artists. So pay them.

Imagine being so wealthy that your spouse can just throw $50K at something without informing you and you're just like "eh, don't care"...

A version of you also dies when someone who knows of you passes away, a version never to be known of again. A bit of you that lived, laughed, raged, loved... remembered or forgotten. One, ten, a hundred of you. Is it that you worry what others think of you, or worry on what version lives in them?

Honest people don’t lie. Or do they? Liars aren’t honest. Or are they? One puzzling conundrum in contemporary politics is that politicians who seem to be estranged from facts and evidence are nonetheless considered honest by their followers. 1/n

Software companies become almost indistinguishable from ransomware after reaching certain levels of ubiquitous. If you wanted to do that to a whole country, being embedded into government systems without oversight, transparency, or clear exit strategies I think would be the perfect way to do it.

After much self-reflection and introspection, I have come to the difficult decision to continue

Crime worsens around election years, with thievery, corruption and rorting increasing soon after a government is sworn in.

My Australian housing policy hot-take is that the Howard Government's 'mobile workforce' plans are linked heavily with changes they made to Negative Gearing and Capital Gains Tax, which has resulted in an environment where the many become renters and the few become homeowners.

Due to the long-term warming trends as a result of climate change, we can be assured that hell isn't going to be freezing over anytime soon.

Going to make a submission to Government suggesting they turn democracy off, wait 6 seconds, and then it back on to see if it will fix current problems.

I find it hard to believe that running into people with a common history changes the size of the planet

I wouldn't tell anyone I won the lottery, but Franklins No Frills Black and Gold Jewels would suddenly appear on supermarket shelves...

I'm always excited, but then disappointed, to have Rogan Josh for dinner. I wish I could say I won't get it again, but no, that's not going to happen.

Sometimes the easiest way to achieve perfection is to redefine your idea of what perfection is. #hackuplife

my son when he doesn't get a bed time story

Dear, Diary. I've lost all notion of time, living post to post, video to video. It is getting harder to distinguish between today and yesterday. Tomorrow? I cannot even conceive of it. My sanity rests only on the understanding that it has been 30 days since I last closed the YouTube Shorts shelf.

With so many trends on social media, it's hard to work out how you can really shine and be an influencer. So try creating a niche market where you don't post at all and go from there. #influence

People in grass houses shouldn't stow thrones, or so they say.

Wait! Hold up. This isn't Mastodon?

Moving out of Twitter to come here wasn't adequately reflected in Taylor Swift's The Tortured Poets Department anthology smh

I don't know what they're fighting over, but I hope Neil kicks Logan's arse. #tysonvpaul #TysonPaul

Wait! Just, let's hear them out www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024...

Me looking at new #bluesky accounts posting the same jokes from early Twitter and getting followers...

Who's even responsible for assessing right-wing psychiatrists' claims? Like, what forms need to be filled in when certifying that political correctness has gone mad? #morningthoughts

When giving advice, it's easy to get caught up in the euphoria of wanting to help, but remember to check that your help is wanted, you are the best qualified to give it, and you have left it vague enough so that if anything goes wrong, you aren't liable. #lifesupport

Decided to leave a few Yellowpages books to rot on the front porch as a warning to the rest of them.

I mean, 18 months of not doing anything here is something, I guess. There's no such thing as nothing?

Apropos to our chaotic times, it's easy to get caught up in the day-to-day minutia of existence, so to help with your mental well-being, avoid people who tend to over-complicate things by using words like 'minutia' and 'apropos'. #lifehack

The way ahead may seem long and your goal so far away, but remember to look back now and again to see how far you've come already; you can always use reminiscing as a form of procrastination. #dailyinspo
