  1. I've just turned 56, which means I remember life before the Web. My first go was in 1996 on a college computer, searching with Yahoo because Google didn't exist yet.

    New post: a personal look at how the Internet has impacted our mental capabilities. What it gave me, what it cost me, where I think the panic got ahead of itself, and what that might tell us about AI.

  14. Kyle Chandler's interview about playing an aging Hal Jordan in HBO's "Lanterns" does a great job explaining why this show feels so familiar to me.

  15. Ik snap echt niks van die Nederlandstalige muziek, die tegenwoordig Edisons winnen, zoals #Bente, #Maan, #S10 en #Froukje.

    Vinden jullie daar wat aan?

  17. Neue #Forschungsergebnisse des #NationalCancerInstitute projizieren höhere #Krebsraten bei #GenX im Alter von 60 Jahren im Vergleich zu den Baby Boomern. Dies könnte auf #Fettleibigkeit, sitzende #Lebensstile und #Umweltverschmutzung zurückzuführen sein. Die Studie zeigt steigende Raten von Schilddrüsen-, Nieren-, Rektal- und Darmkrebs sowie Leukämie. Frauen sind zusätzlich von Gebärmutter-, Bauchspeicheldrüsen- und Eierstockkrebs betroffen.

  18. ‘Xennials: The Last Analog Generation’ is a fascinating podcast, using the 1990s as a lens on our world today - from Globalisation to online culture.

    I joined host Charlotte Kan for the new episode - to talk Ecstasy, irony, subcultures, Beck, the Berlin Wall, & generational schisms.

  19. Collector of #books + fat cells + #truecrime podcasts + creative curse words. Feisty, fierce, #feminist, #liberal AF, 🏳️‍🌈 ally, #BLM. I’m #GenX, a small biz owner, former web dev, stationery + sticker creator on Etsy, old school #penpal,#StephenKing’s #1 fan, #bookworm, #ambivert, #fibro warrior, and incredibly lucky wife and mom of three amazing boys. I love #walking, taking amateur #nature, #wildlife and pet photos with my phone, posting about #KansasCity, #bloomscrolling, and #birdwatching.

  20. Every time I toss a dogpoo bag into a public trash can I hope that Agent 13 isn't stuck in there.
