I lived at an anarchist commune for 3 years and learned a lot about “going viral”. Here's a story in three plagues. Read my new piece in The Ick: open.substack.com/pub/emilybyn...

who up focusedly shockwaving they penis rn

i came to bluesky to tweet and there's nothing any one of you can do about it

after the absolute & complete victory of TPOT on X, i think it's time it returns here to liberate this platform from its shackles

every so often I happen to be part of group convos that devolve into people evaluating the intelligence of the people in their broader, direct environment, and every time I am reminded that my understanding of who & what makes one smart is v different than that of the median person

when you don't have experience, you need to borrow it from others with good-enough theory of mind, you should then be able to internalize a good-enough approximation of their experience, and thus operate at a good-enough level before even gathering your own xp

just found this, been saying this for years, food (any solid, not just wings) is much tastier if you forego the intermediaries and straight up eat like a barbarian

goodnight, i love you, see you in the morning

I think most of all my younger self would be afraid of what current self is unafraid to consume as food

wow, i can't believe Elon hired Jay to lead Twitter

this is where i biscuit from

observing network effects in full throttle has been v interesting this past month; initial mass-migration to bsky bcs of exhaustion with twitter => very active but self-referential monoculture => back to twitter bcs of need for more diversity & exhaustion with bsky monoculture 🔄

artists as communicators of optimism, creativity, simulations & base reality, replacing one's self, and more with @grimes.bsky.social banger, worth listening to

is this Being A Rationalist

qigong was definitely invented by someone with ADHD after realizing they couldn't sit still enough to do normal meditation

atproto client that's specifically built for teens and/or other young users, one more great option unlocked by building on a protocol

ICYMI, response to Nostr's founder's accusations of Bluesky being a "scam" of an open network/protocol

anyway, here's some excellent Greek folk for y'all

first date idea you convert to Eastern Orthodoxy

there's this term in Japanese, 三日坊主/mikka bouzu, which translates to "three-day priest", used for people that start a new thing with fervor and enthusiasm, only to get bored and quit a few days later lmao

ugh, too much friction in reading a thread with more than 7 posts — you have to keep clicking "continue thread" every 7 posts

just starting, funnily enough @jay.bsky.team had met @annagat.bsky.social back in 2019 (i believe) in SF

this one's starting in a few mins, will be live tweeting through it

hmm, does anybody have any tips and/or good resources on organizing & planning big conferences? (this one about an "AI Summit" we are planning)

Recycling blackpill just dropped https://arstechnica.com/science/2023/05/yet-another-problem-with-recycling-it-spews-microplastics/amp/

luckily a market downturn fixes this

big tech and how it had been removing talented builders from the market has been a disaster for the human race

I'd fr go back to being ordinarily employed just so i don't have to explain what a sabbatical is & what I'm doing during it ever again

you know how guys (used to?) play pretend to be gay just to be allowed to be more expressive and tactile with each other the men yearn for the Mines of Touch

it's actually friggin stupid how "easy" Bluesky is making verification look

systems that allow for continuous improvement and error-correction, perhaps paradoxically, end up producing more errors than systems that don't if you don't have a people, a group, a self, that can tolerate errors, you will always end up sacrificing long-term improvement for short-term stability

oh, you are bored? that's cool, have you tried opening your browser and plugging yourself directly into the grand immensity of humanity's knowledge?

"We choose to go to the moon in this decade and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard" what an absolute banger, really

optimism is trusting yourself to figure it out before even having a conception of what that "it" might be

this is the post that ant*ifa extremist saw and concluded that TPOT is made up of neoreactionaries

"antifa.llc" that should have a flag enough for y'all to not even bother engaging
