With Elon's arrival at Twitter, it appears, this is THE take. Wow. No punches held back here: “Welcome to hell, Elon.”

Slides + Docs

This week, I came across not one, not two, but THREE different apps that are playing at the intersection of slides and text editors:

Strategy Mad-Libs

Via John Cutler. “Some strategy prompts to guide you through the perverse holiday ritual we call annual planning.” 😂

The Community Power Compass

I love this deeper dive into notions of freedom and control, from our own John V. Willshire. The concepts come from the book The Dawn of Everything, but John has taken these ideas a step further, wrapping them in a handy visual that can be used to “consider the sort of community you’re looking at, joining, leaving or forming.” It might be fun to test this out with our little community here!

20 Systems (over) Thinker Tips

This “20 Systems (over) Thinker Tips” is pure gold! Like, seriously good wisdom, packed into a light and breezy children's storybook format. Here's the one that caught my eye: “5/20: Do your deepest thinking with co-conspirators (not the people you’re trying to influence).”

Harms of the AI ecosystem At this point, just about anything Per Axbom creates is an instant share from me. His latest creation, an infographic identifying various “Harms of the AI ecosystem” is a fabulous ‘thing to think with’. Brief. Good use of dual coding. Seemingly comprehensive. I was initially

Howdy! Welcome to another roundup of ‘playful things to think with’ and things to think about. Let’s kick it off with… Deep Code Cards Ooh… Another project from Dark Matter Labs. The Deep Code Cards offer a “playful exploration of the invisible forces that shape our lives.” Nice. Maybe

A ‘horseshoe’ diagram Ooh… A horseshoe diagram?! That’s a new-to-me pattern; I’m adding this to my collection of visual primitives. Pretty much a cycle, with emphasis on the starting and ending points (before the cycle begins again). That’s all. Oh, and as for the content
