I had to make an actual phone call today. I think it’s the first one for a couple of weeks. It’s amazing how used to email, chat, messages, and Zoom/Teams calls I’ve become that an actual phone call made me quite anxious. #ModernLife

Just had a 90 minute workshop transcribed and summarised by Gemini AI. The outcome included a summary and highlights including categorisation of topics covered, even thought we jumped around a little throughout the session. Pretty powerful and impressive. #GeminiAI #LearningDesign

Hi @discogsofficial.bsky.social the iOS app keeps crashing on launching. Is there fix and update coming pls?

I can't remember where I saw it this morning, but there is this - "The US is burning, literally and figuratively. Instead of asking for help and healing itself, it wants to drag the rest of the world down to burn along with it."
