it’s for anyone who wants to listen to music more mindfully - music enjoyers, musicians, artists, writers, etc etc

I think nyc is great for model-bound people who experience their priors rather than the actual sensory experience in front of them. the idea of the thing is great, the actual thing…

HCI club wintering update that I sent to our gc. Bittersweet but clarifying for me to write. We have much to be proud of! https://t.co/8TlxyIl3rG just passed 1k users, which @wordrotator continued working on during HCI club morning crew. What a glorious success, one of many from this group.

The globalized Internet has been a cruel invention

[the monkey king @wordrotator]

@dkwon98 i agree! i just think we're not powerless to steer us towards using that time in ways that benefit human flourishing, rather than doomscrolling.
