Tried a textual podcast about organoids with the one and only @ars. Also had Bompa (an AI persona) contribute based on the rolls of a D20 after each message.
Promising format that could manage to capture the deliberate nature of long-form writing and the informality of trad. podcasts.

Been thinking a lot about acceleration and its relationship to product management. Ended up escalating it to the status of the sixth product risk (alongside value, usability, feasibility, viability and ethicality).

Recently downloaded Substack. Just not into it. So tried tiering various social apps based on actual daily usage and something like “fit with present and pending cultural moment”. Ended up leaving the top 2/3 tiers utterly vacant.
Luke-warm take following Halliburton’s and Tatum’s achilles issues and the general pattern of these injuries: it’s some unholy combination of…
1) super early athlete specialisation
2) all time high load accumulation compounding
3) proliferation of “high tech footwear”, limb supports etc.
1) kills general vitality in relation to unexpected stimuli. 2) means that mid-20s players probs have equivalent wear and tear of 10-15 yrs vets in comp to prior eras. 3) results in distribution of forces as players sink and draw energy from the ground diverging from actual human movement patterns and leaking in weird ways.
Does “no one plays defence” map to “no one thinks critically anymore”?
Suspect it does. And it may be a part of the answer to WTF is going on with Cluely.
Hyped for Game 7 of the NBA Finals.
Suspect that if the Thunder are allowed to get away with physical harassment then it’s over for the Pacers.
If OKC guards aren’t allowed to slap up the Pacers, though, then the Haliban are gonna snag the W.

Reminds me of when someone told me, with a straight face, that 1k words was considered long form.
Wondering if we’re seeing a further collapse now where even 100 words is an instant DQ for consumption.

This seems correct to me. Seems to have started with all the RTO stuff post-pandemic, though. There was a mere glimmer of more equitable hiring and ways of working and then, squish!
