Are you a good communicator? 🔊 I’m a work in progress 👷‍♂️ I try to be conscious of my approach 🗣️ I listen a lot more than I used to 👂 Disengage a lot more when frustrated 🛑 It’s a skill that can be gained and lost So I’ll try to stay sharp After all Without it We fall apart

This is great television An hour well wasted if you can spare it
Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan. Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.

I don’t often recommend follows… But my god, this guy is one of the great thinkers of our time 😅
Another day of almost taking the bait Another night I’ll sleep better for not getting in a social media fight And I’ll need that sleep Back to work tomorrow!

Were there always so many follow recommendations or are we in a bit of a moment here? Maybe I engaged with one too many.. I’m getting bombarded! There’s some decent ones to be sure but it seems a bit much overall

Apparently NASA got permission from whoever lives on the moon to do their flyby Couldn’t be just some wacko talking, could it? Nah… I mean if it’s in the mainstream media it’s a lie, so if it’s from the ‘alternative media’ it must be true Right? 🙃

One of the most powerful practices I have encountered is taking on the negativity of others and sending out positivity to them Negativity in, positivity out The truth is that it doesn’t overburden you with negativity as you might imagine It helps you to transcend it

If you’re in a situation where you feel a relationship is defined by your or their negativity Why not give this practice a try? Negativity in, positivity out Helps to reframe everything Leaning into the negativity helps you focus on sharing positivity In my experience anyway

Curious to see how things go for Anthropic They really seem intent on building a more ethical AI model I guess we’ll see how much users care about ethics Could be a way to foster brand loyalty tho Like, we trust you because you have a little decency

Sad to see the World Factbook is being shuttered I mean, it was weird getting info from the CIA but the basic info was really handy Anyhow, I guess making basic facts available to the public is no longer a priority

A lot of the RIP 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 because AI 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 ignores the benefit of going through the process of making something Making something simple like a presentation prepares you for… actually presenting That hyped up AI presentation will need editing anyway, just whip it up yourself

Through social media you have access direct access to some of the brightest minds around But you’ve got to get around the blunt minds of opportunistic politicians and businesspeople who profit off of your outrage Sidestep that BS and there’s so much to be gained

Off smartphone for now Much better experience from my PC Content is a lot cleaner Having a sense of decency and not wanting to see debased content... It's basic, it should be easily attainable As Matthew Arnold wrote: "Freedom is a good horse to ride, but to ride somewhere"
