  1. "I wrote this essay that year - sadly I don't have a copy of it - called On Openness and Control. The nature of it was that openness only comes with control

    ...

    I was worried specifically that the quality of the content would go down. Because people would be subconsciously more afraid to share things that were in my view valuable - and vulnerable - to the people around them."

  2. For #InternationalGinAndTonicDay, what could be better than learning the very international history of Gin, Tonic, and the combination of the two? This video starts with the Gimlet cocktail, but it covers a lot of ground. youtu.be/V7jEH6E6l90

  4. It would be great if Gimlet would be part of an open podcast world (or as I call it: podcasts) again.
    The founders are probably sitting on some private island now.

    > The podcast industry didn’t fail. It’s just that Spotify took a billion-dollar swing and whiffed, and now podcasters must pick up the pieces.

  6. I stopped listening to #Heavyweight when #Gimlet / #Spotify put it into their “only available on Spotify” walled garden. Now it’s back out on the open web, and I had forgotten how much I enjoyed it. overcast.fm/+HKafRb-v8

  7. #Gimlet

    i was there from the beginning
    . i listened to each episode describing the early days of this ethical and moral community

    sadly, it is no more
    . the scourge that is #capitalism destroyed this community
    . we need a better way to create and keep community, one that is not based of making barrels of cash

  8. Spotify picked a weird day to pitch me on its "Masterclass for Podcasters." I mean, cripes, who's left over there?

  9. While I hate to see people lose their jobs, I am at least glad to see that Spotify’s ham-fisted podcast strategy has been a big dud. Gimlet should have never sold out to Spotify. It decimated a once-great podcasting company.

  10. @attacus I hear a lot of #podcasts are only on #Spotify now and I find that super annoying. I refuse to get Spotify. I love some of the #gimlet podcasts and I'm glad my pocket casts app still gets #ScienceVs because I think the rest of their podcasts are Spotify only. Bleh.

  11. Is deodorant dangerous?

    Spoiler:research is mixed but every researcher questioned felt it was safe to use.

    Lemons are an alternative, not as good as aluminium based products, didn't last long. Sticky!

    So is Botox...

  12. @fredericl As a former* fan of the #podcast #EveryLittleThing, I'm pleased to see IBM showing some respect to flamingos in their quantum processor names. Higher than eagle, osprey, and condor. (I learned from ELT that flamingos are badass!) 🦩

    * "former" because after #Spotify bought #Gimlet they made the podcast exclusive to Spotify at which point I stopped listening. And soon after, because we can't have nice things, Spotify canceled the show. 👿
