@adriancjr @giunitpod @remote_thought Thank you, that's really great to hear!

@benlaurence1 @LukeGearing Gradient Descent is my fave Mothership product for sure

@ForzaMotorsport Supercars are honestly pretty boring so I don't really care that much! What about the econobox cars you'll be launching with? I want to do some league racing with friends in D class cars. "It's more fun to drive a slow car fast than a fast car slow" as they say...

@ickbat I made this series and tens of thousands of people have watched at least parts of it (about 4000 made it to the end). I still get lots of thank you messages years later so it must have done something right https://t.co/IBW1DcHIr8

@evgenymorozov When Beer found Cybersyn wanting in the face of managerial recalcitrance, he did not try to address the problem through better statistical or computer engineering methods but through reconsidering the social context of the project.

[Kyle Thompson @wiegraf_]

@evgenymorozov I mean this in the way that it reconfigures labour-cognitive economic networks in ways that disavantage incumbents. Like in those cases, the technology is often seen as the most important feature when the social change is more significant.

@focx Yes kind of want a hot meal once a day!

Does anyone know who I can contact about the deplorable state of airline meals for special dietary needs that are made with absolutely zero understanding of what those needs are? Tried complaining about it to the airline to predictably no effect.

[Kyle Thompson @wiegraf_]

Octopath Traveler was a huge inspiration for my tabletop RPG Dragons & Travellers Tales, so to celebrate the release of Octopath Traveler II I'm discounting D&TT by a massive EIGHTY PERCENT!
Check it out! 👀

@rileyrethaI If the rebellion were ABOUT the Force, Luke would have become more of a cult leader than a conventional war hero. The viewers know that the Force was important to him destroying the Death Star, but that isn't a whole public thing.

[Kyle Thompson @wiegraf_]

@rileyrethaI Luke, Vader, and the Emperor are supers in a more conventional war story. They can shape the course of the war because they have super powers, that's about the only way they're connected.

@CatieOsaurus Play video games that don't have a lot of written or spoken dialogue so I'm still able to process what's being said. Either that or use a fidget toy.
