Coping with the guilt and shame of getting lost down an ADHD procrastination rabbit hole, by reading about other people’s experience with ADHD procrastination, only to realise that you have gone down another rabbit hole reading about it…. πŸ˜–

As an IR professor, it's depressing that this is outperforming all others as the best theory of US foreign policy

How does free healthcare somehow equate to being communist? The USA is the outlier here. The UK, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Australia all offer free healthcare at point of use. Canada, Germany, France, Taiwan, South Korea, offer free healthcare, via mandatory insurance contributions via payroll taxes.

Wait. They are releasing Epstein files to distract Americans from the war in Iran now?

A Twitter user tweeted re Bluesky: β€œThe problem is with the people using it. Censorship, no matter how you choose to phrase it is still wrong. It should always be done on a personal level through individuals blocking others. Otherwise it's a centralized propaganda platform and I don't want to be a part of that. Propaganda will always be a problem as long as people are naive and lazy. So, it'll always be a problem. At least keep it decentralized.”

Who wants to tell them that they are already using a centralized propaganda platform…?

Free and fair elections are the cornerstone of our democracy. But right now, they’re under attack.

Several Republican-controlled states have redrawn their congressional maps to give themselves an unfair advantage in the midterm elections.

Perhaps this is why so many Americans get drawn in by provably false conspiracy theories - a high proportion of people are convinced that everyone else is up to something…

Neguse: β€œI don’t know either. We can't find it…You want the American people to believe that this is all above board, that a $143 million of taxpayer money just happened to go to this one company that doesn't have a headquart

I find it astonishing that part of the discussion around this war is whether a a leader who started it will get bored with it or not

So Trump is starting WW3 out of some desperate attempt to distract from the Epstein files and improve his abysmal approval ratings. He knows that if the Dems take control of the senate and house during the mid-terms he will be powerless to stop them from investigating his criminal activities...

"A Knight of the Seven KIngdoms" soars in large part thanks to Dan Romer's beautiful score. So many goosebumps moments. His music reminds me of the best work by Thomas Newman and Gustavo Santaolalla. Just stunning.

The irony is that the kind of people who would vote for Trump 3 times are the kind of people who (a) believe his policies will never negatively affect them personally, (b) don’t care who they will affect, and (c) failed to pay attention enough last time to realise he doesn’t give a shit about them

Nice! That’s great! I’m constantly impressed by the rapid progress being made with PebbleOS and the Pebble mobile apps, especially with such a small team, not to mention all the great community contributions too. It’s great to see Pebble alive and kicking again!

4/ A β€˜Report” button for apps/faces would be good to report an issue. (Not working/Settings not working/Weather not working/crashing) which notifies dev or helps crowdsource tags for filtering etc.

3/ Apps/faces that are automatically upscaled should be differentiated from those have been optimized by the dev for the current watch. I’d like to see badges on the AppStore page with β€œOptimized for PT2” etc. and the ability to filter the App Store to only display those optimized for my watch.

2. When β€˜hearting’ an app (which is still not yet possible in native AppStore), the rating should apply to the currently active watch. Some apps/faces are amazing on one model of watch, less good on another. Ratings should reflect this. I want to see the most popular for my watch, not all watches.
