This iceberg wasn’t just chilling - it flipped upside down off the coast of Greenland in a wild ocean somersault. ❄️🔄

In a letter drawn from a posthumous collection of correspondence, published in 2019, the neurologist Oliver Sacks argued that society had no immunity to the seductions of digital life. “What we are seeing—and bringing on ourselves—resembles a neurological catastrophe on a gigantic scale,” he wrote.

PSA which I know is futile: if I encourage people to do something and you come in and say it won't matter, I will block you and hide your comment from everyone. Instead, gently whisper your negativity into a pillow or a jar that you can throw in the recycling bin. I won't tolerate that shit here.

I loved Jane Fonda’s speech last night— but now I’m seeing the quote “woke just means you give a damn about other people” being spread & I just have to say, that’s not what ‘woke’ means.

‘Stay Woke’ is a term black people in America use as a reminder to not sleep on the racist system we live in.

"Masculine Energy"

Panel 1: Mark Zuckerberg stands on the stage at a Meta all-hands meeting, wearing a little chain and a shirt that says "Cool Dude." "I think our company could use more Masculine Energy," he says into a mic. In the crowd, an employee raises their hand. "Excuse me, Mr. Zuckerberg," the person asks. Panel 2: The person stands up, asking, "By "Masculine Energy," do you mean a mature definition where men in power use their relative strength to protect and uplift those less privileged?" Panel 3: The person continues, "…or a more childish definition where men in power are free to be aggressive and harm others without being held accountable?" Panel 4: Zuck stands silent for a beat. Panel 5: "You're all fired," he says.

I wish there were a standardized protocol such that people could check their streameing services watch lists without having to check a bunch of different apps. Just one app, like the way everyone used USB-C or HDMI.

It’s interesting that the emojis show the earth from three angles 🌎 🌍 🌏 but not the fourth.

Though 🔵 is a fair approximation of what it would look like.

People underestimate the Pacific.

A picture of the earth showing the pacific ocean. You can see hawaii and New Zealand. Also the edge of antarctica, australia, and north and south america...but barely.
