Nobody declared this one.

The first revolution was steam. The second was code. The third is the one that decides on its own — and it's already in the field.

I write cinematic ambient — mostly dark, mostly slow.

Builders kept asking if any of it was cleared for in-world use. It wasn't. So I'm making a proper pack: loopable beds, commercial use cleared, Quest ready.

What are you short of? I'd rather build that than guess.

Minimal pairs are the cheat code: ship/sheep, think/sink, wine/vine. Train your ear on the pair and your mouth follows.

The NG in "sing" comes out of your nose. Pinch it and the sound stops. Also: there's no hard G. It's "sing," not "sing-guh."

Your accent isn't a mistake. It's your first language, showing through, following its own rules — perfectly.

The -ED ending is never "e-d." It's /t/, /d/, or /ɪd/. Hated. Loved. Kissed. Three sounds, one rule.

Only ~1 in 4 English speakers learned it first. "Sound native" optimises for a tiny slice of the people you'll actually talk to.

TH doesn't exist in Spanish, French, German, Mandarin, Arabic or Japanese. If you replace it with S or T, you're in excellent company — and it's a 2-minute fix.

You don't have to lose your accent to be understood.
Only 1 in 4 English speakers learned it as their first language — most conversations happening right now are between two people who learned it later. Just like you.
The goal was never to sound native. It's to be understood.

💸 Today I invested in a new thing:

Ethereum is essentially a public spreadsheet with every transaction being visible for everyone forever

But that makes it impossible to use for banks because it's not private. Imagine you buy something and everyone in the entire world can see it? That'd be never be accepted

So my friend @oskarth has been working on a new thing called @eth_systems that lets banks use Ethereum but while keeping transactions private

Before this he was working for 10 years on stuff like zk-SNARK (math tricks that let you prove something is true without revealing the details) and advising the Ethereum Foundation, he's the most high IQ person I know, so when he started something that's for-profit (after lots of non-profit work) I asked to invest immediately

YC always taught me to invest in people not companies, the companies (and product) can change (and should) and it can pivot into lots of other things, but if you trust the person you can estimate a higher likelihood of it (and your investment) working out

If you like to see what they will make, follow @eth_systems 😊😊😊

New in Shepherding Tracker: the Pastoral Assistant. Turn it on and each pastor or elder gets a short weekly list of who to see next, working through the whole congregation so no one is missed. Built for the ordinary work of shepherding.
