Or go listen to someone who needs it and who isn't terrible to you. I do have more to say about @leahreich.com's post, but I'm sitting with "Listening tends to be much harder than talking, even when technology isn't getting in the way." www.leahreich.com/everyone-is-...

Here's some great news you may have missed yesterday!! More of this please @quillmatiq.com As a user researcher, *this* is the kind of thing I would like to work on – building a social web that gives people options outside of walled gardens run by giant corporations that don't care about end users

Don't get distracted from the real issues. We must remain an extremely online army chained to our computers angrily posting day in day out. A single afternoon of sheer explosive spite-fueled fun will be the single deciding factor in whether we survive this endless bullshit

You should go buy this book for many reasons, not least of which is to support someone who has been trying to tell all of us what the fuck is going on for YEARS and has been slowly going insane because no one is listening (maybe he hasn't and I'm projecting, but still buy this book)

My newsletter this week is about how these days, everyone is talking but no one is listening – and ChatGPT is stepping right in to meet that very human need. www.leahreich.com/everyone-is-...

Oh hey! The great @leahreich.com's newsletter yesterday connected some dots for me between the current state of social and why we're pouring our hearts and souls into ChatGPT: it listens. www.leahreich.com/everyone-is-...

Also, this is why THE SOLUTION TO THE PUBLIC ATTENTION PROBLEM IS CONFLICT AND CRISIS. Crisis and conflict consume headlines and STAY in the headlines as long as they persist. As political actors you can cause conflict and accentuate crisis, keeping the public mind focused and changing opinion.

I can't believe I'm going to have to see Big Balls' dumb fucking face every time I open this app for the rest of the week. I can't believe I'm even typing the words "Big Balls' dumb fucking face" why is 2025 like this
