Although #wombat bodies are already *very* close to the ground, when the non-stop munching activity gets too much for them, #wombats like to sit on their bottoms to make eating even more relaxing.

Digging and waddling: two of #wombats' many special skills.
Because of their combination of long, dumpy bodies with extremely short legs, wombats have a particularly charming way of moving.

surely a vision board will fix climate change and get rid of the nazis. 2025 will be my year as long as i check off all of these self improvement goals. this will solve all the things.

Für eine vertrÀgliche Anpassung muss man aber halt erstmal das Problem eingestehen und dann anfangen. Abgesehen von den Grünen verschließen aber fast alle Parteien die Augen und stecken den Kopf in den Sand.

Over 2+ years of working on a biography of Elon Musk, I've learned that his ambitions are significantly grander than anyone realizes. He wants to be the first trillionaire ever. He wants to be the most famous human who ever lived. He wants to rule the world. He wants to live forever.

All literally.

The Truth About Musk, From His Biographer A viral Bluesky thread introduced tens of thousands around the world to a first glimpse of a forthcoming biography of Elon Musk. Hereβ€”in a single essayβ€”is some of what the world just learned.

Here it is: my viral Bluesky thread significantly expanded into a full essay. Hope you will share it with anyone you think might be interested.

Ich frag mich ja immer, warum sich so viele Menschen darauf fixieren nur eines der aktuellen Probleme anzugehen. Wir haben hunderte Politiker und eine riesige Verwaltung. Es spricht nichts dagegen sich um mehr als ein Problem gleichzeitig zu kΓΌmmern. Es gibt keinen Grund zu priorisieren.

The Matthew Effect of Post-Twitter SocialΒ Networks The Matthew Effect was first coined by sociologists Robert K. Merton and Harriet Zuckerman in 1968, who noticed that eminent scientists tended to get disproportionate credit for collaborative research...

The mechanisms that make post-Twitter social platforms successful may be fundamentally at odds with the goal of creating level playing fields for new voices.

Why the Internet Era Might Be History's Least-Documented Period Last week, I tried to find some photos from my college graduation. Despite being only fifteen years ago, they proved surprisingly elusive - trapped on a defunct Photobucket account, lost to a crashed...

By any metric, we're the most documented civilization ever. Future historians should have an unprecedented window into our daily lives, thoughts, and experiences.

Right?

File over app is a philosophy: if you want to create digital artifacts that last, they must be files you can control, in formats that are easy to retrieve and read. Use tools that give you this freedom.

File over app is an appeal to tool makers: accept that all software is ephemeral, and give people ownership over their data.

In the fullness of time, the files you create are more important than the tools you use to create them. Apps are ephemeral, but your files have a chance to last.

The ancient temples of Egypt contain hieroglyphs that were chiseled in stone thousands of years ago. The ideas hieroglyphs convey are more important than the type of chisel that was used to carve them.

The world is filled with ideas from generations past, transmitted through many mediums, from clay tablets to manuscripts, paintings, sculptures, and tapestries. These artifacts are objects that you can touch, hold, own, store, preserve, and look at. To read something written on paper all you need is eyeballs.

Today, we are creating innumerable digital artifacts, but most of these artifacts are out of our control. They are stored on servers, in databases, gated behind an internet connection, and login to a cloud service. Even the files on your hard drive use proprietary formats that make them incompatible with older systems and other tools.

Paraphrasing something I wrote recently:

"If you want your writing to still be readable on a computer from the 2060s or 2160s, it’s important that your notes can be read on a computer from the 1960s."

You should want the files you create to be durable, not only for posterity, but also for your future self. You never know when you might want to go back to something you created years or decades ago. Don’t lock your data into a format you can’t retrieve.

These days I write using an app I help make called Obsidian, but it’s a delusion to think it will last forever. The app will eventually become obsolete. It’s the plain text files I create that are designed to last. Who knows if anyone will want to read them besides me, but future me is enough of an audience to make it worthwhile.
