I just finished reading "Palaces for the People" which explains how locations, like the library, are not only tools for learning but also for connecting people and bridging divides. The future of democratic societies rests not simply on shared values but on shared spaces. I highly recommend it!

Is doomscrolling bad for you? A meta-analysis of 42 studies (N=46,912) finds that consuming short-form videos is linked to increases in inattention & impulsivity; reductions in working-memory span & self-regulation; elevations in anxiety, depression & stress; and a surge in addiction symptoms.
Social media discourse is driven by false #polarization We find that: 1) ideologues post opinions more than moderates 2) extreme attitudes are posted more than moderate one 3) This replicates in 40 countries 4) Opinions that users post are more hostile than the beliefs they keep to themselves

My clients are starting to receive their keyboards and I even made one delivery in person 😃
if they're drinking nounwine it's fantasy. if they're snorting a verb it's sci fi
Note: Following the drastic budget cuts imposed by the Japanese government on national art museums and other institutions, the National Film Archive of Japan finds itself in a critical situation. That is why they have launched this campaign.

Teenagers are spending as much time on social media as they would for a full-time job. Girls are spending 35+ hours a week on social media and boys are close behind. If they keep it up, the average teen will spend more than 10 years of their life doomscrolling www.oecd.org/en/publicati...
I'm posting progress mostly on the Discord server, but... I'm shipping my first keyboards tomorrow 🎉

'I am racist and did it on purpose': Belgian powerlifter sabotaged during world championship

Cette histoire est hallucinante. Du racisme à l’état pur, assumé a fait perdre le titre mondial à Sonita Mulhu. Il est très important que toutes les fédérations en tirent des leçons et sanctionnent fermement les actes, propos et personnes racistes en leur sein. www.20minutes.fr/sport/423722...

1000 evaluators given identical resumes & told candidate used AI. Only difference on resumes was candidate’s name: Emily vs James. Study found women using AI are evaluated as less competent than men who use AI...To evaluators, women’s AI use signaled inability, while men’s AI use signaled initiative
Women’s use of AI is perceived as a sign of incompetence, while men’s use of AI is seen as an indication of initiative. 🤦🏻♂️
V1, I feel like it looks cool But I feel like it’s a bit too thick with all components on the bottom side, I might do a third prototype that’s 4mm thinner…
Il y a dans « L’étrange défaite » un avertissement de Marc Bloch qui est trop peu souligné alors qu’il est très actuel : « le pire crime de nos prétendus démocrates », écrit-il, fut l’avilissement de l’information et l’asservissement de la presse.
