I’m slowly discovering some wonderful folks to follow. From scientists to artists. I just want this to be a place where I see great things. Looking for creatives, makers, etc. folks who don’t want to turn this place into another doomscrolling nightmare.

if corporations want ppl to spend money then they need to start paying everyone a living wage. can't spend what you don't have
www.cnbc.com/2025/11/23/h... "please, buy new phone. the economy is dying" is an incredible gaslight
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever and it's costing economy
Americans are holding onto devices longer than ever before, and while it may be consumer smart, it comes at a cost to work productivity and the U.S. economy.

Americans want to watch charismatic people solve moderately difficult problems on a weekly basis. That’s it. And a group of fomo execs and techbros who don’t watch TV drove one of the most profitable industries in the US off a cliff rather than accept that.
Look what happenes when a TV show releases every year, with more than 8 episodes a season.

I often wonder what it must be like to have enough money to live. To not regret making a decision to do something good for yourself only to have an unexpected situation come up where you regret trying to do the good thing & have to delay addressing the unexpected & hope you survive.

It’s not usually -10°C (or colder) where I live, so it is always shocking how much the bitter cold air radiates up through the floor.

Some very creative answers in this thread.
We're having a discussion about which interesting animal behaviour would be terrifying on a different species. The rules are
a) it can't be an immediate danger to you
b) it has to be so scary you would stop filming and leave.
Feel free to play along. The current winner is vulture murmuration.

This cold weather is hard on wooden instruments. Friendly reminder to make sure the outside of your clarinet is warm before you blow air through it & keep an eye on the humidity too. My clarinet has an old surface crack & today it has a loose tenon ring. Time for some tlc. #clarinet #bir #bandrepair

Managed to catch some of the @loyaltybooks.bsky.social Comfort Reads panel with Malka Olds, Martha Wells, & @tkingfisher.com after work today. It is always a joy to hear artists in any medium talk about the works of others they enjoy. #booksky

Anyone over in #audiobooks know of a way to purchase audiobooks without being gatekept by a monthly subscription service that affords the privilege of being able to spend more money? (And not the library. I use the library but TL;DR small library problems)

The past two days feels like I’ve been transported to a faraway part of the world. It was delightful. Days like this are precious and few.

A short but excellent masterclass thread on knowledge graph injection - i.e. making up and propagating a word so that various AI's will happily vouch for some new bullshit definition you made up.

I love winter landscapes. I know living in a place that does this for more than 3 days a year can make it unpleasant, but I crave the peace and slowness that comes with days that look like that.
And because it’s soo pretty, here’s the landscape view for you all…enjoy some peace #SkySky
