Sometimes you wonder. Bloomberg this morning saying that you can't both believe that AI is a big deal and that we're in a bubble. But you absolutely can! That's exactly the story of the tech bubble of the 90s, major economic impact but not big profits. Sigh.
Keith Vaughan painted just twenty still life oil paintings over the course of his career. This work 'Pomegranate, Lemon, Cup,' painted in 1948, consists of a tabletop with a striped tablecloth and angular forms.
Tweet exchange in which a photo of Anne Hathaway is posted by @TheRoyalSerf, to which user @VvSchweetz24 replies "@grok...do your thing. @Grok replies: Anne Hathaway isn't Jewish; she was raised Catholic but left the church. She married Adam Shulman (who is Jewish) in 2012 and celebrates Jewish holidays with their kids. SHe's played Jewish roles, like in "Armageddon Time."
pretty sure he meant the other thing, grok, but very cool that those are your two things
The FIFA Peace Prize used to mean something
I just think it’s so much cooler and more interesting to try to be the best audio show rather than the shittiest television show
This is horrible. Trump and his crew shut down USAID, which has led to the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people, and they had no idea what they were doing or what would be the consequences. Completely immoral.

wait it's possible to move from pilot studies to permanent implementation of basic income? please tell everyone except Andrew Yang about this
I want you all to just watch how quickly mainstream media moves on from this story now.
Didn’t want to believe this was true. It’s true.
In December, I wrote a piece about people's declining ability to process information, to distinguish fact from opinion, etc, and how this might soften us up to become overly-dependent on AI. You could read it, but this guy just summarised it in two tweets!
fellow #truecrime podcast junkies: what are you listening to now? I'm liking CBC's Sea of Lies and am looking for other listens while waiting for the next eps to drop
Oh hey! Did you check out my podcast Sea of Lies yet?
Show art for podcast series Sea of Lies from CBC’s Uncover. The body of a man plunges below the surface of the blue-ish green water, and near the surface is the anchor of a boat.
🚨🗣️WE ARE LIVE🗣️🚨
The first two episodes of Sea of Lies are AVAILABLE NOW on all podcast-listening platforms. There will be a free new episode each week (the series is 7 eps total), OR for 5 bucks you can subscribe to CBC True Crime and binge the whole thing right now.
In the new year, one empowering piece of storytelling advice I would offer is, don't rely solely on a single corporate entity or institutional structure to shape your storytelling career, as it's unlikely to happen.
Happy to have added my name to this list, I do hope it breaks through. Reading the list of signatures is also a nice reminder of the many amazing people making ambitious audio these days. This community needs Short Cuts more than ever.

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change
Urge the BBC to reconsider their cancellation of @bbcradio4's Short Cuts. It is irreplaceable, with a dedicated audience, an unmatched cultural impact with a team that nurtures talent and stories with a rare sensibility and care.

A recommendation: Pause your election analysis interview podcast (or am I projecting 🤔) and submerge your attention in this new series from @danielgalarcon.bsky.social and Katie Mingle. Compelling protagonist, high stakes tension, strong archival, beautiful writing. A++ storytelling 🙌
loved your piece Alan
