My #weekendread was Scott Galloway's new book. It's a compilation of so many smart things he's said in the past on his various podcasts and in his blog. Galloway's vision of masculinity matches my own: providing, protection, and perseverance are all key. amzn.to/3LpfY7r

I think it’s because she called them “shorties” which is tired slang and also definitely insulting to billionaires but what do you think? apple.news/AlQIM8-cHQLy...

Come on #creatives - signing up to protect yourself against #AItraining is a no-brainer. It's FREE to opt out and if you choose to license your work, @credtent.bsky.social pushes 85% of the revenue back to creators. 5 minutes can open up #passiveincome or protect yourself against #AItheft.

Grant's Hidden Potential has been on the #weekendread list to read for a while. It tells some intriguing data points that inspire us to broader our perspective on how we can achieve. amzn.to/4p9LcOv

Clearly Temu knows how much I love my #blackcat, but I do not want this.

If this is the future of corporate #media, audiences will abandon it as #cringe. apple.news/A1DIXsv66Tdq...

Be careful with those #AIbrowsers, folks. burgessing.substack.com/p/ai-browser...

If you don’t know @tomtomorrow.bsky.social, you are missing out on the best comic around: comic panels of mostly text, truth-telling penguins, chef’s kiss absurdism, and plenty of laughter - which is the only medicine anyone’s going to be able to afford soon so I suggest you support this project!

It only some pro-social billionaire had bought #bakerandtaylor instead of private equity firms, maybe #libraries would be okay. While they’re at it, buy @vromansbookstore.bsky.social too. H/T: @404media.co www.404media.co/libraries-sc...

#Boardgames and all new #content should disclose if #AI was used in the creation of the work. Use these FREE Creative Origin Badges to declare your work. If your work is powered entirely by #humancreativity, people want to know! badges.credtent.org/creative-ori...

Light reading for the #weekendread. For people who know his band, Evan Dando's autobiography is what you'd expect: lightweight, somewhat interesting, but mostly insufficiently deep. But I do enjoy reading about creative people's path to success (#AI won't give you that). amzn.to/4qnsjZz

We are proud to have Niche Nation Games on @credtent.bsky.social - their new #cardgame Patent Nonsense sportsour #AItransparency badge bar. Letting your audience know if you use #AI builds trust. The badges are free to use commercially and available here: registry.credtent.org/creative-ori...

Planning to use those #AI browsers? Make sure you know what you're giving up when that #agentic browser does extra stuff for you. #comet #atlas medium.com/credtent-on-...

Not sure that’s going to work but okay! #boardgames apple.news/AZ1Igm1HsT-2...

I just backed Our Long National Nightmare by Tom Tomorrow on @kickstarter.com www.kickstarter.com/projects/tom...

Happy #Diwali to all my friends who celebrate! Wishing you peace and prosperity.

Wow, @profgalloway.com did you see this? Even at the pittance he paid, the CEO of @wordpress.org still thinks the #tumblr purchase was his biggest error. How should Melissa Mayer feel? techcrunch.com/2025/10/20/a...

My #weekendread was a reaction to spending most of that week at #LATechWeek. I read about the history of paper in Papyrus, a thoughtful and intriguing exploration of the source of #books. The author takes us way back and right up to now. It's more exciting than you might expect.

This Black Lotus is totally not Near Mint. #mtg #magicthegathering #geekcake

Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies. Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

This is what democracy looks like. #NoKings

Not now. Not ever.

The @stonemaiergames.com #CharityAuction is live. Donate for a chance to get fabulous Stonemaier #boardgames, but the real draw is #donating to 10 wonderful #charities. Wish there were a #cat charity there, but there are plenty of worthwhile charities to support. boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/364...

My #weekendread, Dr. Ackerman's book argues for working with AI as a 'humble creative machine,' collaborating and keeping your focus on human values. She makes her argument with science, stories, and her own deep experience as a pioneer in the AI space. amzn.to/4m87rCv

This is @nbcsnl.bsky.social at their absurd best. Definitely the keeper for the night and definitely the funniest thing they’ve done this year so far. youtu.be/Enb1qkoAcXI?...

Wish has been a patient #cat during the #halloween costume selection process.

My #weekendread was all about keeping business fluid and in motion. I'm an idea person as it is, but I liked the discipline around these concepts and how they line up with my training at The Walt Disney Company. Ideas and energy drive me forward. amzn.to/48bhFhM

A great argument for signing up for @credtent.bsky.social - we can handle your opt-out requests and notify you of these issues when they arise on platforms you use. #creativerights #AIoptout #creatives #AIrights apple.news/AkWx8w8GFTqS...

Sunday naps with Wish the #cat. If only I had slept like that this weekend.

Another brief #weekendread getaway to refresh, this #book about indie rock in the 2000s filled in a lot of gaps for me at a time when I wasn't listening closely enough after the post-Nirvana #music slump. A thorough and enjoyable history book. amzn.to/3HPOer8

Oh, #Weapons - you were so good until the very end. #ferriswitcher

My #weekendread engaged my #data love and #gamification brain, too. Spiegelhalter does an excellent job of keeping it interesting while still doing the math sometimes. Essential for those who think about uncertainty all the time. #handraised #Book amzn.to/4606t4U

Massive respect for #MassiveAttack More #music artists leave #Spotify. Why can’t the Spotify CEO be happy with his enormous success? Why does he need to invest in deadly #AI tech? When will we re-normalize the idea of ‘enough’ financial success? #aiforbad

I love #Medium but I got up an hour early to watch a session that was beyond incoherent. I tried another session and it wasn’t much better. #MediumDay isn’t going to steal much more of my time and it makes me sad.

My #weekendread cuts through a lot of the hype to provide a smart overview of the state of things in the Age of #AI. Barrat's careful to keep a cautionary tone when it's appropriate, and call out #BigAI for its flawed thinking and lack of concern for the public good. A satisfying, useful read.

Despite being a #wordnerd, I love that @michaelstipe.bsky.social won’t clarify too much. Elizabeth Fraser and the shoegaze/dreampop crowd cured me of the need to know exactly what is said in a song. apple.news/AOHHBDIk0S-y...

Yes, my #cat Wish enjoys a morning walk. We had a lovely stroll, listening to the @pivotpod.bsky.social podcast with @karaswisher.bsky.social and @profgalloway.com saying we need a company like @credtent.bsky.social to rally #artists to take back control of their work. Join us now at credtent.org.

It was an intense week at @credtent.bsky.social so my #weekendread had no #AI in it. Homo Ludens is a deeply academic #book about play and #games in human culture. A second read with notations is coming. amzn.to/4niZmM8

#Authors need to demand real money for use of their creative work by #AI. It’s good that Anthropic is willing to settle the lawsuit, but $1.5 billion against a $1 trillion possible judgment? Nope. #BigAI need to pay annually for use of creative work. credtent.substack.com/p/credtents-...?

I sincerely hope @authorsguild.org doesn't let Anthropic get away with a single one-time payment for the 7M #books they used for training without #creativeconsent. At Credtent.org, we believe in subscription payments for using #creative work for #AItraining. open.substack.com/pub/credtent...

Still working from a list of #books on #neuroscience, my #weekendread was an illuminating study about how our understanding about the brain has changed over time. Anecdotal and super-readable, it's also a sad tale of how little we listen to non-white non-men. amzn.to/4fE1xam

When you hear an error on #alienearth and then go to see if someone reported the goof on IMDB, only to find they corrected the speaker, but not the source #book. That quote is not from Childhood’s End, it’s from a non-fiction article later repurposed for a non-fiction book. #booknerd

So glad to see @anthropic.com doing the right thing and settling this case. #Creative people deserve consent and compensation for their work, plus protection against imitation. That's why we built @credtent.bsky.social and this is a watershed moment #creativeconsent. apple.news/Az9bcyvKPQma...

See my brilliant friend Dr. Maya Ackerman talk about how #creativity with machines isn't what you get from these all-knowing oracle machines that frontier #AI models provide. Instead, it's all about inspiring human creativity and extending artists. www.theaioptimist.com/p/humble-cre...
