Recent results from major international tests show that the average person’s capacity to process information, use reasoning and solve novel problems has been falling since around the mid 2010s.

I am happy for my work to be shared far and wide, regardless of attribution (although I prefer it). I'm even happier when I'm tagged, so I can read what people are saying about it.

@British_Airways Thank you. I’d also like to know if I’m required to carry any Covid-specific documentation in travel from Bangalore to Austin.

@British_Airways The Advance Passenger Information module on your website is compressing my 3-word last name into 1 name by removing the spaces between them altogether, clearly messing with the accuracy of the information I'm providing. What to do? #urgent #help #airticket

[Lochan Baratakke @lochan]

@British_Airways I really hope I can take your word for it and that it won’t compromise my travel in any way.

[Alan Watts @AlanWattsDaily]

If you happen to be sitting, just sit. If you are smoking a pipe, just smoke it. If you are thinking out a problem, just think. But don’t think and reflect unnecessarily, compulsively, from sheer force of nervous habit. In Zen, they call this having a leaky mind.

@LogitechG No support from you guys on Reddit. Struggling to get a new G604 to just function without G HUB crashing randomly, sometimes refusing to start and resetting assigned macros. M1 MBP on Ventura. Generic replies to support pages on your website isn't helping. #fixyourbugs

We have oceans of waste. Amazon’s plastic packaging waste alone could encircle the globe 500 times: https://t.co/QqVFhbxUl7. We need to do better.

Useless, buy less, waste less.

Circular economy is how people in the past centuries survived and thrived and had beautiful homes. Did we become too lazy or ignorant?
