Doing those Dumbass Blender tutorials was supposed be a way for me to get noticed. But no matter how utterly insane my ideas were, I just fell deeper and deeper into despair.

Continuing to try to figure out the internet and information in 2025. Access to information has changed a lot in 20 years—it now seems that individuals have an intense responsibility as "executives" of their own attention.

I'm threading together my new place online: for my art, for my political discourse, for my support of quality press institutions, etc.

Mastadon is a decentralized social network: let's not let that mean "siloed."

Continued thread

Young people today navigate unprecedented challenges: economic precarity, geopolitical instability, the erosion of traditional pathways in work and #education, AI's looming disruption of career prospects, and accelerating climate catastrophes.

Banning phones is a superficial solution to profound problems.

The evidence is unignorable and demands our #attention.

Logging in to say how happy and grateful I am to be able to make annotations on #EPUB on my e-reader running #KOReader, and to then be able to import and read those same EPUBs and annotations on my laptop in @zotero

This allows me to read long-form (I really struggle to do so on my laptop) and still take digital notes (not having to manually copy afterwards.)

Henry Farrell's consideration of the attention economy & political science's failure to really see it, is an important read; he asks

'How might the attention economy remake the underlying structures of democracy? If there is a political scientist who predicted how Musk could effectively leverage his position to eliminate US-AID despite the legal and political barriers, I don’t know who she or he is'!

The political economy of attention *needs* our attention!
