Story time—late last year, I developed a painful, still-undiagnosed condition in my hands, likely from repetitive stress. Blah blah chronic pain, it's

Created a a Milan maps list and the only spots on it so far are Chinese spots.
I completed my 365 days of 10K+ steps a day last month. But now I can’t stop. I actually found I enjoyed all the little walks I built into my day to make sure I hit 10K. Not sure I’ll be able to keep this up for another 365 day streak but I’m not mad about trying.
Being on social is a little awkward right now. On one hand, I'm interested in finding the nearest anti-nazi rally this wknd and which senators I need to add to my call list, where to donate to help best help victims of widespread natural disasters, where I can still access reproductive healthcare...
Ladies and gentlemen... the weekend. (also: you are important and are not alone 🧡)
I never followed Vance or Trump or Zuck and yet all three nearly simultaneously showed up in my feed as pages I was following.
If you are still on Facebook, and do not want to follow Trump or Vance you have to manually unfollow them. MZ made us all follow them and you might not even know you are following them. I just had to unfollow.
If you’re not terrified for the future of this country you’re not paying attention.
This
want to be excruciatingly clear about this: TikTok didn't have to go dark last night and it didn't have to turn back on this morning. both of those were voluntary moves that the law does not directly touch.
So Trump already has Meta and X in his back pocket. Looking more and more like TikTok is a fast follow. The reliable media outlets are falling fast. The castle walls of the Fourth Estate are crumbling.
Who are your favorite follows here on BlueSky? I’m determined to make this my new favorite place to hang out.
For some it's not as easy or simple as just deleting their profiles. But you can limit their ability to derive value from your account at least.
Fed up with Meta? Avoiding Instagram or Facebook isn’t enough to stop Meta from harvesting and profiting from your private information. Here’s how to limit Meta’s ability to monetize your personal data.
Things best measured with the heart: - Vanilla - Garlic - Basil - The fucks to give.

More good news for those looking to exit Meta’s social app ecosystem in favor of a more open alternative: An independent developer is building a photo-sharing app for Bluesky called Flashes. The soon-to-launch app is powered by the same technology that…

We are getting a four night stay in Istanbul on our way to Spain and Italy for $140USD. All thanks to Turkish Airlines free stopover program. I don’t think enough people know about this fun benefit of flying Turkish Airlines.
Did we ever figure out what the deal with all those drones were? Or did we just move on?
If you know (or have) a small business that matches, drop your details in the replies and I'll let my friend know 🤓
The web has changed. How we define content needs to evolve similarly. In that light... how is a blog different from an article? In a very tactical manner, they don't seem to be any longer or am I wrong?
Working on a project last week I finally realized that generative AI isn't INTELLIGENT. It's knowledgeable. To get a good result, you need to coax it. Persuade it. Cajole it, even. www.ianlurie.com/digital-mark... Huge h/t to @wilreynolds.bsky.social for all his teaching. It's kept me inspired. #ai
Coax. Persuade. Cajole. Using Generative AI Right.
I used ChatGPT to generate a cycling training plan and got a valuable reminder that generative AI can't think. But it knows a lot. Getting it to convert that knowledge into something useful takes a li...

Hopping from new platform to new platform is exhausting. If we’re all gonna move here from threads can we at least agree to stay awhile. At least through the next phase of the revolution?
I’ve recently started looking into campers, RVs, and vans to make camping more comfortable. I hate the tent thing the older I get. But whoa buddy these things are $$$. No comfort in the outdoors for you unless you’re prepared for a second on that mortgage.
I get equally as excited when a test fails. Maybe more so even. A success just validates an assumption. A fail let’s you learn something completely new and challenge your ways of thinking. It’s way more fun!
The reality is the migration away from twitter was never going to be led by “bluewave” & “resist” twitter because that group is just as tribal as MAGA. The move from twitter was always going to be in the hands of those impacted by the hateful rhetoric.
Spent the better part of this morning in the garden. Fingers in the dirt this time of year is so rewarding.
