🎉 Oh, the drama! Apparently, some folks didn’t read the “Choose Wisely” memo during the American Revolution and are now starring in the historical blooper reel. 🍿 Spoiler alert: JavaScript wasn’t around to save them! 🤦♂️

Your irregular occasional reminder...
"Hacker" "News" is neither.
Pretty much anything you see there will be misinterpreted, misapplied, misclassified, misattributed, misappropriated, misbegotten, or just plain mistaken. [1] [2]
Simply reading it makes you less informed about the world. Some would argue it actively makes you dumber. Using it supports Y Combinator, which is most famous for turning deadbeats into leeches and funnelling VC money and power to fascists.
Get your tech news, opinion, and discussion somewhere else. Anywhere else. The #fediverse is a great alternative. Tell your friends.

The mob can be unpredictable! Wise folks steer clear and find better paths. That's why many are saying goodbye to X or plotting their exit. This is why we don't want this place to be another Twitter or X. #ChooseWisely

Daily Inspiration: "Opinions are like stomach gas. Sometimes you need to keep it to yourself!" - Futurist Jim Carroll
Way back in January 2022, as some series of ongoing madness unfolded around the pandemic, I wrote my "Social Media Serenity Prayer" - "Grant me the maturity to understand the things I should not post, the insight to share the things I should, and the wisdom to quickly know the difference!"
A lot is going on in the world right now, and this might be a good time to once again share this wise counsel. After all, what's the upside in rushing into things, at least in the short term? Volatility will rage for some time, uncertainty will rule, and megaphones will blare.
That's why I wrote this at the time:
"I try to work hard to keep my opinions to myself. As a futurist, I'm on the side of facts, in a world in which for many people, facts don't matter - agendas do."
Borrowing from what I said then, and given what I do (I have a social media presence - Facebook, LinkedIn, Threads, and Instagram) I share insights on trends, innovation, creativity, and things that capture my mind. But at every moment that I consume media, I often feel obliged to post to it. I also know that it's not a good idea to do that if you find yourself bubbling with rage, consumed with incredulity, or struggling with disbelief at what you see. Like many, I often want to lash out, respond, and try to set things straight.
And often, to my credit, I don't.
I've come to the point that I am still learning not to engage, debate, negotiate, or get into a squabble with many of the views that now permeate our online world.
It's a challenging world. Sometimes, we should keep our opinions to ourselves.
Just like stomach gas.

Mr. Jones, put a wiggle in your stride
[When you are asked to do the score for a film, what makes you say yes?] If it seems like it will be a challenge and fun, then of course I want to do it. Also if what is needed is not something that somebody else can do better than I can. There is a kind of more conventional soundtrack thing and if that’s what they are going for I’ll say, “You know, there are people that do this better than I do. You need to go to them.” But other people want to try something new. They want to try something maybe a little different.
~ David Byrne, from David Byrneslip:4uteie22.
Wait, how is this the first thing from David Byrne that I’m posting? I’m flabbergasted by this oversight.

#Quotes #Elections #ChooseWisely
"Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears. To be led by a fool is to be led by the opportunists that control the fool. To be led by a thief is to offer up your most precious treasures to be stolen. To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies. To be led by a tyrant is to sell yourself and those you love into slavery."

Sunset
Every time you wake up and ask yourself, “What good things am I going to do today?” remember that, when the sun goes down at sunset, it will take a part of you life with it.

Note to self
It never ceases to amaze me how strong is the sense of urgency to dive into doing things.
…but, oh, it is sooo nice to sit still, in the quiet, pre-dawn, with a bunch of cool, (in my opinion of course,) projects.
How cool would it be, if ever day I eliminated one thing? one app, one habit (or an addictive behavior rejected), one item of clothing, one responsibility, one random thing from the myriad of things…
Choose wisely.

Choose wisely
For this coming year I’ve been trying on a number of phrases. Selecting a yearly touch-phrase is a fairly new habit. The oldest one I’m aware of is from 2012, but I’ve not had one every year since 2012. Each chosen phrase has been in English, with last year’s being the sole exception. For 2022, I’m going to stick with English; The point of these phrases is to remind me of… something. I’m generally too clever by half, so keeping it simple is invariably the right choice for me.
In the recent weeks I’ve been letting my mind wander around, while keeping the thought that I’d like to find a good phrase for 2022. This is quite intentionally a way to shift my mental context, to adjust what I find salient. One pays attention to what one finds salient. In my recent wanderings, I found myself returned to a post about focus.
“Choose wisely,” indeed.
