You when you realise Canon the camera company are named after a Buddhist god of mercy, BlackBerry isn’t about fruit and Virgin run airplanes and rocket ships: 😡
freemasonry is such a weird thing to me like. their origins are traced to medieval stonemasonry guilds but they have nothing to do with stonemasonry today. all they do is perform religious rites. why are they even still called masons when they dont even do masonry

I’ve been thinking about the tumblr block feature. I was wondering how it seems like everyone is in their own very distinct echo chamber on here, despite the fact that none of the content is separated in the way of something like reddit or discord. I didn’t really think about the block feature until I got too many death threats and now I get it 😌.
I think breaking echo chambers is very important though. What if there was a social media that stuck you into a group with like 9 other people and you were completely and utterly stuck with them as your people regardless of what you do. This changes nothing about your interaction with anyone else but it does enforce links between different parts of the site that wouldn’t form otherwise.
Maybe you see their posts regardless, or there’s a tab for their stuff. I wonder whether people would start to feel pride about their group if you added 100 or 1000 people, or named each group. Maybe they collect some point score or total aggregate viewership and likes together. Maybe you get the notifications from their posts. Recreate the concept of a village but online. What if you give them the notifications, but don’t tell them who the other person is. Recreate the concept of a soul mate.

everything is very bad in this modern age but i truly think Merlin Bird ID App is a wonder so astonishing that it almost makes everything else worth it. like you can just sit somewhere and listen to birds and 4 minutes later you will know stuff you didn't know before. not only that but you might even retain that knowledge. this morning i sat with my coffee and let Merlin record my surroundings for 4 minutes and now i know 1) what a northern parula sounds like 2) that i have been listening to northern parulas for years without being aware that they even existed. this cheerful little gold-and-gray guy has been trilling at me my whole life and i've never known his name and now i do! you can sit there and hear something and think "that sounds familiar, i'd like to know what that is" and then look down and see the little bird ID light up LIVE. ohhh of course, a red-eyed vireo, how could i have forgotten. AI good actually.

One of the major dividing lines of our age is between those who think it's worthwhile to cooperate and work with other people, accepting their flaws and limitations, to build something larger than ourselves, and those who think everything is fundamentally hopeless and that other people are corrupt, degenerate, and suspect. And the latter is not conducive to having any kind of culture at all.
