@JasonMyer @onscreenlol THANK YOU for this tip, this explains why my monitor keeps dying.

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

When I left uni in NINETEEN-NINETY-FOUR, I was paid $40K for my first job, two thirds of the amount your organisation offers 31 years later. Can you see what the problem might be?

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

Great news!

[Steven Pinker @sapinker]

Analysis of US college syllabi by the Open Syllabus project shows that bell hooks is assigned more than Aristotle, Judith Butler more than Plato, Edward Said more than than Kant, and Foucault more than everybody. (Thanks to Jon Shields for these comparisons.) https://t.co/Nz2lIgf4po

Can't beat a great idea

[Simon Loffler @sighmon]

Four years after relaunching @ACMI our visitors are still averaging 15,000 unique Lens taps per day.

Over the weekend XOS recorded its 20,000,000th unique tap from our fleet of NFC enabled BalenaOS Raspberry Pis.

That’s a lot of film museum collection items our visitors have saved, shared, and explored on their post-visit dashboard.

Well done little machines. 🥹

@Cromwelp As someone trying to get an audiovisual archive to understand how community can help spread its word, I'd love to be on this list if possible :)

@leenyburger Hi Colleen - are there still plans to release Refine for Rails https://t.co/EYU5vdP9KA, or is that an old project? Thanks

Absolutely true, so long as you discount the history of all civil rights movements.

(And for the idiots asking why trans rights have "lost ground" - the right wing has sunk millions of dollars into finding a new wedge issue, and that one stuck)

[christoph @Halalcoholism]

Successful civil rights movements typically have a simple underlying message to sell to the broader population:
“We are just like you; thus we merely ask for the same rights as you.”
The trans rights movement seems fundamentally different in this respect.

I promise Marc that the art AI wants to replace requires way more taste, psychology and chaos tolerance than taking huge amounts of money and successfully investing them < 5% of the time.

[vitrupo @vitrupo]

Marc Andreessen says when AI does everything else, VC might be one of the last jobs still done by humans.

It's more art than science. There's no formula. Just taste, psychology, and chaos tolerance.

If you walk away winning the PR battle, uniting Europe and other democracies, and you didn’t give up 50% of minerals, how have you lost?

@joshtpm @lord__mike Also what trap did he fall into? He avoided the bullshit brilliantly

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

@marcusgipps @binding_broken @gollancz Congratulations. Sounds fantastic

[Cory Doctorow NO LONGER ON TWIT TER @doctorow]

In 2013, Thomas Piketty had an unexpected bestseller (a 750 page economics book translated from French!) *Capital in the 21st Century*.

Go Spain!

[Robert John @bobby_jags]

What is happening with housing is very interesting in Spain. As the government are essentially saying the private sector just cannot be trusted with housing. So, they are going to effectively nationalise and massively regulate a load of the market. This is very interesting. 1

Someone please tell Musk that his AI doesn't need to interject itself in moments of rememberance of much-loved public figures

@ubahs1337 @holden Boss Fight books. https://t.co/svMFlnT04U Spelunky book is great if you're into learning about how games are made.

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

@alexandre_ruban Thanks for writing this Alexandre. Do you know if Writebook offers a way to download its books as a PDF or mobi?

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

@michaeldthomas I am incredibly impressed by how you're both soldiering on. Hope you're OK.

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

@PowershopAus please fix your website

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

Yep

[cig @cignewtons_]

People don’t wanna tell you this but I made most of my connections by going out 5 times a week for a year straight when I first moved to nyc. Those connections I made at the club are the reason why I have a career, salary, benefits, financial security all of that.

[Grant Heinrich @[email protected] @LDNFLDS]

As someone who's worked with Tim in the past, I completely agree. He's an incredible human being. Please contribute
