Enjoyed this article about trippy Insta self-help graphics but seems odd that it doesn't mention the lineage of these motifs / their connection to wellness being rooted in the design of '70s works like the Whole Earth Catalog, Be Here Now, small self-published New Age texts etc.! https://t.co/HKGJ8fFdBh pic.twitter.com/7BcRZ5YAdV— Elizabeth Goodspeed (@domesticetch) February 11, 2021
I can't explain it but this new Bandit Running campaign set in a random Brooklyn apartment is just a trickle down from Bode and ALD shooting at a cabin in the Poconos

“pretty crazy:
- container ships burn fuels that emit a lot of sulfur
- the sulfur seeds clouds, increasing the reflectivity of earth, cooling it
- new climate rules in 2020 limit sulfur emissions by cargo ships
- a lack of ship-clouds may explain anomalous heating this year”
I do not understand how Hollywood apparently learned nothing (nothing!) from the huge vast insane popularity of Knives Out, a solid film that would have just been a normal film twenty years ago https://t.co/NFc6ciJvOo— Amber Sparks (@ambernoelle) June 19, 2023

⛔️ The late stage VC market is flashing BIG warning signs: Founders might not pay as much attention to the size of VC funds, however in the last day alone it was shared that Insight has raised $2B of its $20B target & TCV has raised $1.4B of $4B goal.— Allison Barr Allen (@abarrallen) June 13, 2023
“It’s cool that they’re calling it a “spatial computer”, which is a significant break from the “tech first” way of calling it a “headset”. It’s not about what it is, but what you do with it: You can do all kinds of computing tasks with it, but in a new kind of spatial way.43/?”

this is a perfect example of a traumatized person using other-oriented framing as a shield/to mask pain, and a valuable lesson in strawman vs ironman readings of trauma responses + the toxicity of outrage algorithms📜 pic.twitter.com/VBD7BfEs7M— hegelian vs predator (satire) (@rachelisonline) May 29, 2023
Streaming platforms are actively making themselves worse because they have hit the max amount of customers they'll get and their shareholders want infinite growth which isn't possible so in the short term they are gutting themselves to save money by removing shows to avoid— Fletcher (@marshonstupi) May 24, 2023
people were still buying music and the mp3 ecosystem that apple’s ipod marketing was driving millions of people to embrace was an incredible promo platform for indie stuff. everyone was going for it because success meant something: you could do 33k first week on warp. not anymore https://t.co/rE1pS46TP3— jaime brooks ☭ (@elite_gz) May 23, 2023
This line is thought is terrifying. education becoming debt-exploding prep for a job that likely won’t use your degree anyway is one of the worst things to ever happen. The liberal arts expand the mind, deepen our appreciation of culture, and train us for how to see and live life https://t.co/PWvbE5Zmec— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) May 21, 2023

“our entire system of expert authority is built on circular references where the strength of the network determines the strength of the argument
this is the basis of citation numbers, impact factor, etc.
it's also the basis of the original google pagerank algorithm”
Feedback effects: Google initially relied on the (human-curated) link structure of the internet to derive "importance" signals from the internet graph. As people started using Google instead of links, Google accidentally destroyed the fabric that provided the value.— Halvar Flake (@halvarflake) December 5, 2022

the metric replaced the thing we wanted to measure, and instead of recognizing this fact and changing the metric to match what we *actually* wanted to measure,we ended up in an arms-race between those tweaking the metric and those gameing it— James Rosen-Birch @provisionalidea@bsky.social (@provisionalidea) November 5, 2021
“@itsjamiecho My theory is that you can’t systemize Gen Z marketing because Gen z makes organic , personal , user generated content hence you can only copy the same meme , viral video 1-2 until it becomes cringe or the internet already moved on away from it”
“who's writing on the aesthetic of plastic-y luminosity that befouls so many AI images in popular circulation?”
everything rendered as if lit from within, interplay of soft fuzz and slick reflection, the viewers' eyes struggling to find purchase between fields of blur and bouncing light
The issue of respectability in dress, and what constitutes "proper" attire in public, has raged for as long as people have worn clothes. People who take this position fail to recognize that their own clothes were once the "yoga pants" of their day.

I love you Gen Z, but you are wrecking your brain by labeling everything as mid, basic, cringe, problematic or sus & it will ultimately bite you in the butt, even if you are an Aquarius— Emily Nussbaum (@emilynussbaum) April 30, 2023
I hate how in the new trend of "oners," they often call attention(!) to themselves, and you instantly know the action will follow a video-gamey and predetermined path. they're not thrillingly invisible or feats of great filmmaking. They just kind of ...happen, but in an empty way— Brendan Hodges (@metaplexmovies) April 28, 2023
I'm really surprised that no one is actively talking about what an America run by the GOP looks like. We can see it in deep red states right now, and it's horrifying. 1/n— Brynn Tannehill (@BrynnTannehill) April 18, 2023
“A recent small medical issue has highlighted how much someone needs to disrupt Google Search. Google is no longer producing high quality search results in a significant number of important categories.”
“(digital) product design one of the most inward looking parts of the design industry it’s nuts. many won’t even bother look at other sectors of graphic design let alone games”
