A lot of people have taken pot shots at this but I want to go into a little more in-depth, because I think it's important to understand what people like Mira just do not get. Let's talk about writing, esp. game writing.

Everyone thinks they can write.

@rod_mallo Think about TAM. There are regional patterns about who sends more text and who sends more voice. Example: talk to anyone from Spanish- speaking countries. Audio snippets on WhatsApp are just as if not more common than text.

Brilliant piece by @cap. This swing has been my journey the past 18+ months, and it's overdue for the industry frankly.

@elzr I am pretty aphantastic, close tabs when I’m done, and declare tab bankruptcy at 15 or so tabs when the icons are no longer visible. Usually at least once a week. Tab hoarding stresses me out. Conversely, I’m the opposite of inbox zero! I’m sure ADHD has something to do with it:)

Designers and design researchers are often surprisingly bad at sharing their work. This is because they tend to tell the linear story of their work. First I did this, then I did this.

Today is @Dwayne_McDuffie's birthday. He would have been 62 today, if he hadn't passed unexpectedly one day after his 49th birthday.

To me, and most everyone who knew him, Dwayne was a light we all orbited in someway. There are many great creators.

Dwayne was a giant.

As friends enter their 40’s & 50’s I’m starting to hear more talk about perimenopause and menopause. Seems like a massive opportunity to do meno care for GenX & Millennials in a new way. Would love to angel invest in the space, so hit me up if you’re building something there!

Came across an amazing report from @base10partners on generative AI.

They mapped out this ecosystem better than any other resource I've seen.

Here are 5 things that stand out:

The clever people at @NASA have created this deceptively simple yet highly effective data visualisation showing monthly global temperatures between 1880-2021. Watch until the end...

On #InternationalWomensDay and every other day, don't use words like 'empower' and 'celebrate'. Use words like 'hire', 'promote', 'pay', 'raise', 'bonus', 'fund', 'invest in', 'enrich', 'give equity', 'elect', 'lead' - & don't just say it, DO IT #IWD2022 #IWD #FundFemaleFounders

I know everyone has seen a bunch of different summaries of cognitive biases by now, but this is a particularly good interactive overview. It is organized in ways that make exploration interesting, and there are academic quotes and sources for each bias. https://t.co/elZAr4aL20

“You are not responsible for your first thought, but you are responsible for your second thought”

I have not encountered anything that describes the essence of personal growth better than these words.

This thread walks you through a concrete example of how an algorithm can learn racism. It uses some math but only the minimum amount of math possible and has lots of pictures. It is *very* accessible. If that sounds like your thing read on. 🧵👇
