Art tip: don't share everything you draw. Draw things you never intend to show anyone. Your brain needs time to just exist in a state that's not about performing for strangers. This used to be the normal way to exist before social media poisoned us.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

Pro Tip: If you don't have at least two copies, in two different locations, one of which is on storage that you own, data doesn't exist. www.tomshardware.com/software/clo...

Deleted the post. Im just not in a place to have men comment on it.

Incredible. When E—n M—k & his crew obliterated USAID in a weekend, they deleted a vast trove of publicly-funded knowledge: the Development Experience Clearinghouse. A Canadian high school student (!) happened to have downloaded the entire thing for a project. AidData has now posted it for all.

Before reimagining development data, remember what we’ve learned

Why we’re publishing a free, searchable, and ungated archive featuring a quarter-century of USAID evaluation reports.

I think this is as good a time as any to start building your brands OFF platform. I HIGHLY recommend following @sharpiepls.com if you're a creative heavily reliant on ANY singular platform (YouTube, Twitch, TikTok, Substack, etc).

Data brokers can sell everything they know about you—browsing history, pregnancies, Social Security numbers—to organizations like ICE and CBP. Here's how to remove yourself from data miners tracking you. The full story: lataco.com/data-miners-... By Blazedale

Lots of excitement about the squeaky beach sounds in Big Walk! You'll all be happy to know it's the real thing! Was absolutely giddy to get to record them on an actual Australian squeaky beach in Wilson's Promontory. Yes, if you didn't know some beaches there really do squeak. It is pure joy.

I know everything feels terrible and doomy but I've been working on surveillance issues for most of my adult life and I have never seen so much energy, momentum, and concrete VICTORIES happening as what we are seeing right now on Flock cameras and facial recognition in venues. Keep. Going.

Alt: Darth Vader: I've been waiting for you, Obi-Wan. We meet again at last. The circle is now complete. When I left you I was but the learner. Now, I am the master!

If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine. Darth Vader: You should not have come back.

Don't get me wrong, I lift every morning. But being a man is not really about how you show up in the gym. It's how you show up for your family. It's about how you show up for your community.

periodically i see people mention that "bluesky has a dogpile problem" and, i gotta say, Skill Issue

If it looks like an Amazon delivery and drives like an Amazon delivery, then it's an Amazon delivery, right? Not according to Amazon. Big companies like Amazon have built a vast network of subcontractors who deliver their packages while shielding them from accountability.
