Non-fiction is often thought of as the way to teach. You sit and read an informative book

But I only started understanding maths when I watched Numb3rs, I learned about languages and linguistics from shows like The Expanse...

Never underestimate the teaching power of fiction

It's #day2 of #read5for5 📚✨

I've been reading "Imitate, then Innovate" by @david_perell via @_glasp - really intriguing read this morning before work!

Build on the blocks that have come before - don't just try to innovate from thin air

https://perell.com/essay/imitate-then-innovate/
Imitate, then Innovate - David Perell
Imitate, then Innovate is my motto for improving at any skill.  It’s counterintuitive, but the more we imitate others, the faster we can discover our unique style.

"'Oh you fucked up your career' but they're talking about the career they had in mind for me. I fucked up the house in Antigua that the record company dudes wanted to buy. I fucked up *their* career, not mine"
Excerpt from an article: "She's probably still most famous for ripping up the picture of John Paul II. Has that defined her career? "Yes, in a beautiful fucking way. There was no doubt about who this bitch is. There was no more mistaking this woman for a pop star. But it was not derailing; people say, 'Oh, you fucked up your career' but they're talking about the career they had in mind for me. I fucked up the house in Antigua that the record company dudes wanted to buy. I fucked up their career, not mine. It meant I had to make my living playing live, and I am born for live performance."

Really happy with my new washing tape & making my BuJo spreads look so much more put together!

The next two week's blog posts are written, edited and scheduled and it's a great feeling knowing that I'm slightly ahead again!

I'll be moving house next week so getting things ready to go with the blogs means I can focus on packing, cleaning and then at the other end unpacking and cleaning!

"Threads is obviously going to win because it's starting with all of Instagram's users" reminds me of that time U2 put an album in every iTunes user's library expecting they'd want it
edzitron.com Ed Zitron @edzitron.com · Jul 21
Meta's Threads already looks cooked - users are down to 6 minutes a day and traffic is dropping. It's because it lacks any real reason to exist - it's a network that shows a deep and presumptuous contempt for what the user wants to see and do.
