a few updates about Liminal Learning, and the program we're offering for ~18-24 year-olds seeking a collective launch into purposeful adulthood.

Here's the path we walk together, in cohorts...

these three minutes with @kathryndevaney will be some of the best time you spend this week

As you become an adult, you realize that things around you weren't just always there; people made them happen. But only recently have I started to internalize how much tenacity *everything* requires. That hotel, that park, that railway. The world is a museum of passion projects.

Asked Opus 4.5 to collect older definitions of personhood and evaluate itself under each. This was a 😬😬 "I sure am talking to an AGI" moment for me; most Twitter discourse on the topic is waaay less coherent. https://t.co/pMEkrOkZv3

"If you manage to control yourself there will be ice cream" said the parent.

"I sure hope this doesn't have unforeseen lifelong consequences" thought the child, doing their best to physically tense the body in the higher ice cream probability shape.

We cloned Google Photos, except it's Epstein's camera roll

[Rick Benger @rickbenger]

Fan of the punk-coding experiments on the jmail release.

Something like: citizens want horrible acts of public officials to be understood and public. Spinning up a Google Photos clone is an artful way to hit broad awareness without brute shock. Savvy media handling and civics.

Leadership sometimes just feels like more people bringing you more problems and complaints, and yes that's exactly, technically it. Gotta remember to see it as a testament to your skill and responsibility, as well as the blessing of opportunities for kaizen.

the mistake so many people make is seeing university professors as intellectuals when they’re actually employees at a combination hedge fund and healthcare conglomerate that operates a small luxury resort/sports franchise where student-customers occasionally take classes

@GronerJonas mighty good soul ❤️
