I will never understand artists who can't handle critique during the editorial process.
It's so much better to hear what might be wrong or lacking while you still have time to fix it than it is to wait and hear the same from your intended audience. 🧵

I am late to this excellent essay by @JonHaidt. His diagnosis isn't so novel (social media turned us into Babel after the destruction of the tower, all very @lessin) but Haidt ends with some constructive proposals for reform: theatlantic.com/magazine/archi

Also I would add that the persistence of services like Pirate Bay and dark web markets that are illegal pretty much everywhere shows that if you have something people really want, they will find a way to you no matter how inconvenient.

Your best bet is to pick a distribution medium that gives you portability of your content and some measure of your audience. Today that would be SMTP (email), RSS (podcasting), SMS, Usenet, Tor, Telegram... When we open source it could be one of these.

Now freedom of speech understood as freedom of distribution will never truly exist as long as there are intermediaries where you don't control the code, including telecoms (bandwidth and phone numbers), Gmail, supply chains, etc.

This is why, for better and worse, and other open source platforms are the only thing that give you true freedom. They can take away your ISP, but the code is public. Your data is perfectly portable. So freedom of speech understood as freedom to publish is there.

I predict essentially identical censorship/deplatforming policies across all layers of the legacy Internet stack. Client-side & server-side ISPs, cloud platforms, CDNs, payment networks, client OSs, browsers, email clients. With only rare exceptions. The pressure is intense.

Before the pandemic, Pfizer was making 200M doses per year across all vaccines. In 2021, they manufactured 3 billion doses of the COVID-19 mRNA vaccine -- 15x scale-up, in 1 year, for a new platform, during pandemic itself. Still think the extent of the achievement is underrated.

Important point. "It should be easy for the office to provide a vastly superior working environment to the home, because it is designed and equipped with work in mind." Yet how often do offices actually succeed in this?

Standardizing blocks allows us to bring WP coding standards and commitment to performance to what was a wild west of a dozen+ different block editing approaches in plugins and themes. Gutenberg is foundation of next ten years of WP.

Ok, so I am jumping the gun a little bit but so excited about this one:
This is a project we are doing for a client, completely based off block editor. We are using Gutena.io as the base theme with custom design by our awesome team.

I launched an Income Share Agreement (ISA) company in 2019.
Our company survived, but our use of ISAs did not.
Overall, I think the ISA experiment has failed and is not the revolution we hoped would transform training and education.
Here's what I learned 👇
