This new article on media multitasking (MM) by Drody, @effiejp.bsky.social, & Smilek is terrific. What makes it unique is that it holistically considers 5 key factors contributing to engaging in MM behaviors: cognitive architectural, dispositional, metacognitive, task valuation, & environmental. 1/2

🧵Spotted on Market Day in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A tiny human (1?) is helping Mum sell things. While Mum is greeting customers and taking payments--all one-handed. Tiny Human is propped on her hip, blowing big raspberry kisses of thanks. Giggle-snorting when people blow kisses back. (1)

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:
A couple (70s?) walk into a steampunk cafe and are delighted by all the ephemera on the walls.
One says to the other: "Could you imagine wearing this?!"
The other says: "Yeah. I could actually, it'd be fun. I'd be a steampunk man." He grins. (1)

Unless you need some kind of specialist textbook, you basically need never buy another physical book again once you get used to the Libraries app.
And the authors still get paid!

A good piece of advice for learning guitar or bass:
Spend like half an hour looking at pedals and such, windowshopping, filling your shopping cart with like 2 or 3 that are in you budget.
Then take that money you have and were gonna spend, and instead buy books and lessons with it.

doodle. write poems you never show anyone. make banana bread. take pictures of birds. grow a plant. the goal isn’t to build job skills or “become a creative” it’s to just fool around and experience yourself and the world around you

As a German I will forever be grateful to all who fought for the liberation of Europe.
But as a historian I am looking at front pages today and must wonder: What is the point of remembering #VEDay 80 years on, what is the point of our thanks, when we are failing to protect the sacrifices made? 🧵

NEW: Elon Musk’s X has suspended accounts of Turkish opposition groups, suppressing footage of anti-government protests.
So, best we share all the footage we can here!
This was last night’s massive demo against Erdogan’s government, which follows the arrest of his rival Ekrem İmamoğlu.

An easy start for cutting Amazon out of your life is to treat it like a catalogue; look for the product you want then go and buy it from the website of the actual business instead.
Requires very little effort to make a big difference in who you're giving money to.

Irish businesses will struggle to compete with Amazon ie, both online and in the high street.
Shop direct with your Irish retailers, who already exist.
Support local, not the billionaires.
