Thought this and lived by it for many years. Go get some awe.

[Discover Magazine @DiscoverMag]

New research suggests that feeling awe, whether awesome or awful, can have real psychological effects. https://t.co/KNRN1AQCmK

Over the years my MacBook has seen a new screen, new motherboard and tonight, a new battery. Even Heraclitus and Plato discussed if it is actually the same laptop. https://t.co/cuet7Dwals

@tomquay I've been car-less for 3 weeks due to an undiagnosable (so far) fault. I've walked and trained, bussed once. Definitely fitter! It's not been bad, the pace of life feels slower which is quite nice, but I do have a mild background sense of isolation knowing I can't just 'get away'

@UNDERSTANDNL you have a typo in your web address "...nee..." So the link doesn't currently work.

New Video: "Manipulating the YouTube Algorithm."
I have reason to believe there are coordinated attacks against and attempts to manipulate our most used Social Media Algorithms. This is the first of a 3 part series explaining how it happens on @YouTube.

Brexit aka The Road To Serfdom chapter 5: "The effect of the people's agreeing that there must be central planning, without agreeing on the ends, will be rather as if a group of people were to commit themselves to take a journey together without agreeing where they want to go..."

I'm an F-shape reader, typically reading the first line of each paragraph before deciding if I need it's detail. This is what it looks like to embraces this idea (from para 3). So simple, so effective! https://t.co/S1BwWYj4Ft

Had an idea of the perfect photo of Corfe Castle in my mind for a long time. Spotted this morning Ian Perkins has been out and captured it a couple of mornings ago. Bravo.

At @uxinsider the excellent @jonnyraeevans opened with ethics of intent. Something I have given a lot of thought to since reading this article.
https://t.co/fYffRqKLPD There is a distinct lack of awareness or consideration about the wider impact of sophisticated user research

"cultured, synthetic, in-vitro, lab-grown or even "clean" meat. [...] in a handful of restaurants by the end of this year." I think of this as the most impactful technological advancement since the internet.

Saw this at the @WinSciCentre this evening. Solar system fly through orbits for each of the planets with live string quartet playing the compositions was a pretty special event!

@leemallon That seems high, really high, I had to look it up. I'm seeing 255168, and that's not accounting for symmetry which takes it down a factor of 8 to 31896.

@jondarch @amazon Thought the same the other a day, you could say a it's a 'prime' example of dark patterns - https://t.co/cKKj3EeNhg #darkpattern

Interesting talk and some good insights last night. Thanks for organising. Apparently Canada is where it's at for children's tv programmes!

'Are children's books contributing to science's gender problems?' asks a recent @ConversationUKarticle. Join @ZandraAlberda and @JayneShell at tomorrow's #CafeSci to find out more about STEMM, gender and the media https://t.co/Q2jguBEHQm

Most interesting documentary I've seen for a while, so relevant to every day yet never thought about, landfill isn't as rubbish as it sounds. The scale is massive, and it never goes away, each one like a giant buried time capsule.

I’d wondered what a digital government might be like, using something like a Stack Overflow to refine legislation from citizen contributions - crowd sourcing. Certainly some big hurdles, but Taiwan and https://t.co/9vd5PcTSGH seem to be working it out - https://t.co/bOk1XMwkA5
