Had another, more wide-ranging, demo with Apple Vision Pro today. Ask me anything.

@gruber @thomanthony Hmmm. Why traveling though? Like, in the hotel room, perhaps, but maybe not in a public place?

I guess that's the question: Would you feel comfortable using it in a coffee shop?

I've just come across the Old English compound word "hord-wynn" (hoard-joy), which refers to treasure that delights.
That's how I'm going to be thinking of my library from now on 🥰 📚

Silly (or maybe not) question:

So what exactly is social media for?

For some, it is a way to sell ads into an addicted audience. But we are trying to get away from that with the . So if it's not that, what is it for, exactly?

And for you personally: if you didn't have social media, what exactly would you miss in your life? Which needs or wants do you have that would be unmet?

I'd love a broad variety of responses. Reshare?

@drimplausible@mastodon.online avatar

@J12t It's a good question, and well worth asking ourselves. I feel like I addressed some of this last year on the podcast, when we looked at various social media as "meta-topical spaces", as part of the public sphere.

The community answer is a good one too.

But I think it's best answered by seeing how TikTok works, as it really aced the "media" part of social media, above all others.

Social Media is both the content and the community. It's watching a movie together and chatting about it.

Took a hike yesterday up to the lovely Lake Agnes tea house in Lake Louise. Elevation 2135 m, gain on the hike ~395-435m. Amazing view.

Visited the Jurassic Jamboree in Drumheller today as we attempted to set a world record for most inflatable Dinos gathered.

Unofficial tally is around 3000, which blows out the old record like a meteor hitting the Yucatan.

How was your Saturday?

Note to self: when the social media feeds have you exasperated and you feel your blood pressure rising, be the change you want to see in the world.

There's no sense adding fuel to the fire, especially when the stupid burns.

Step away, and/or post something positive.

It'll be alright.

For my money, the most impactful scene in The Great Gatsby is in the denouement where she says “truly, he was a great gatsby” & what’s-his-name retorts: no, Daisy, he was THE great gatsby.”

    [I'm sure she's a good singer/songwriter --though greedy about ticket prices, and she has a polluting private jet, and a wearer of kitschy stage stuff--but damn, do people have to have academic conferences about her]

    After this year, we’re all majoring in Taylor Swift

    An academic conference about Taylor Swift proves that the pop star is occupying our minds like never before

    @johnshirley2024 I felt similarly perhaps 15-20 years ago when a college offered a semester length course on the topic of Lady Gaga, and I was aghast, but then I kinda got out of it.
    Taylor Swift is no different in this regard, though I think the Swifties are more of a force than the Monster ever were.
    But that's the thing: the fact that both of them have a fanbase large enough to be a) identified by name and b) make an impact beyond the pop music sphere warrants the study.

    For only $8 a month, you can now chat with God online. ("AI-generated" God, mind you. Does that qualify as a fake God?)

The Pro version offers expanded capability at $8 a month which includes unlimited messages, a daily verse, prayer requests and the ability to send prayer, along with access to the Chat with God Community.
