Grab this month’s T3 Magazine! I’ve written a big feature on the biggest tech trends of 2025 🔮From hyper-personalised health and immersive entertainment to AI eyewear, robot friends, and more 🤖📺🚀

Does anyone have an expert in their network who could talk to me about the science of scents? #journorequest

I've been reviewing wearable/fitness tech for 12+ years, &today I've been reflecting on how something once seen as nerdy, health-obsessed & weird has become ubiquitous – & even a status symbol. I’ll write about this soon, but for now, here’s a throwback to the first Oura Ring from 2017. So chunky!

The TikTok snobbery over the past week has been out in full force and, honestly, I find it sort of embarrassing how many media and comms professionals just refuse to learn anything about it! "It's just dancing!!" - Sir, it's... not? Like, not at all?

Typography nerds will LOVE this! The best fonts from the 40s. I use Futura all the time, especially when I'm overwhelmed. Highway Gothic is also VERY nice, scratches a little part of my brain. Does anyone else have a favourite? www.creativebloq.com/design/fonts...

No shade to this particular brand (their new AI smart glasses look cool), but this copy is saying absolutely nothing. I'm more confused about what the company does after reading this, not less. #copywriting #writing #tech

Elon Musk: Why isn’t there enough water in California? Grok (burning through an entire lake to generate an answer): Wokeness

If you’re not looking back at past versions of you and cringing, I think you’re doing something wrong. On The Future Hunter today I write about why resisting change isn’t just boring – it’s a waste of the incredible, messy process of becoming 💫 thefuturehunter.substack.com/p/i-look-bac...

Really enjoyed contributing to this about my regrets on not doing better at school!!!! Wanna slap teenage me on the back of the head

If you could tell your past self anything, what would you say? Drawing on the spirit of A Christmas Carol, I asked 11 fascinating people this question for my newsletter thefuturehunter.substack.com/p/what-would...

I've been working with Google & Stylist on a series about how women use AI tools less than men & how to ensure we're all knowledgeable about what AI can & can't help us to do. Have a read of today's article about the women using AI to help with day-to-day tasks #AI www.stylist.co.uk/life/careers...

@gamesound.bsky.social Hey Brian! I'm writing about the "science" behind the color of noise, why some people love white noise, etc. I wondered if this is something you could speak to? Let me know! Thanks!

Look I was already having an unashamedly main character energy kind of moment and then the light DID THIS

Ever feel like your intuition is anxiety in disguise? Or a superpower you haven’t figured out how to use? Today I'm exploring everything you didn’t know about intuition, why I felt like mine was broken, and the ways you could put yours to better use thefuturehunter.substack.com/p/how-to-get...

All jokes aside it's really fucked up to see so many people on here celebrating murder. No one here is the judge of who deserves to live or die. That's the job of the AI algorithm the insurance company designed to maximise profits on your health and no one else

It’s the 6th year anniversary of Vincent D’Onofrio praising me for an article I wrote about Daredevil 🥺🥺🥺

Whitby at Christmas. Traditional, twinkly and somehow still laced with a little bit of spookiness 🎄👻🧛🏻

Is anyone else on Letterboxd? I finally signed up last night and spent hours trying to remember all of the movies I watched this year and what I thought of them 😅 Follow me if you’re there too! I love how the list of movies looks on the app 😍 boxd.it/bXUaJ

Can someone connect me to an astrophotographer? It's to get expert tips for an article about better phone astrophotography THEN first steps for getting a telescope set up and upgrading your camera equipment over time. No brands please! 💫🌌 #journorequest #astrophotography

It’s beginning to look a lot like I overestimated my upper body strength 😅

What do you see if I ask you to imagine an apple? 🍎 For some, it’s a vivid, lifelike image. For others, it’s just an abstract concept. I wrote about this unique spectrum of imagination and how it affects everything from our dreams to our emotions thefuturehunter.substack.com/p/this-simpl...

“I sympathise with people who are genuinely scared of AI but when you have a disability, if something can genuinely add value and be helpful that has to be a great thing. The benefits are too great to ignore.” www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I took a break from reviewing headphones but couldn’t resist these new Sony sports buds 😍

Excellent excellent thread about banning social media/phones. There’s reason to be concerned but I think bans are wrong on so many levels.

I’ve felt so frustrated being stuck indoors with the snow and the storm the past week. I was like a kid on Christmas morning today when I realised it was bright and fresh first thing. I instinctively went to the sea and took the deepest, most satisfying breath I have in days.

Time feels different for everyone. For those with ADHD, it can feel like living always in the now. In my latest newsletter, I dive into how ADHD "disrupts the fabric of time" and share why Everything Everywhere All at Once resonates so deeply ⏳ open.substack.com/pub/thefutur...

Something I'll do regularly on here now is post which movies I've been watching on Mubi and if you want me to "gift" one to you – you get to watch that movie for free – then let me know! Today, it was Past Lives. Slow, beautiful, heartbreaking. Not the usual genre I choose, but I'm so glad I did.
