🌍 Always a fun topic, but climate change is primarily a systems-level transformation of the planet’s political, economic, and ecological infrastructure. Human moral dilemmas are real, but they are downstream of institutional and planetary forces. Many climate scientists now believe the biggest disruption may not be heat or food, but migration and insurance collapse. Why not all of the above?

Influencers filming themselves watching other influencers is the new ouroboros. The reaction economy: attention feeding on the spectacle of attention.

πŸͺ–Armed groups once needed a flag, a radio station, or a spokesman. Now it needs a kid with a face the algorithm likes. Once that kid goes viral, recruitment doesn't have to look like coercion. Nope, instead, it looks like fame. This feels like something straight out of a Bruce Sterling story.

πŸ“± Social media’s mental health effects are not just the result of individual overuse but of platform designs optimized to capture and hold human attention through emotionally activating content. I feel articles like these keep missing this point.

πŸš€ Is this really about a billionaire engineering rivalry? Or is it really about the creation of the economic infrastructure that will determine who controls the Earth-Moon system for the next century. And let's be real. Artemis III likely to happen around 2030, lunar infrastructure in the mid-2030s, with a permanent presence 2040s. A LOT can happened between then and now.

Conspiracy aesthetics are no longer fringe β€” they’re UI design. Arrows, red circles, grainy screenshots. The visual grammar of paranoia has become the lingua franca of engagement.

πŸ“±Pregnancy online is no longer just a life stage, it's a high-value algorithmic condition. Prediction markets built on intimate fear. Too many miscarriage videos. Too many traumatic birth stories. Too much unsafe baby advice.

πŸ€– RentAHuman is a quirky startup idea, but I'm curious about the emergence of hybrid economies where AI systems plan and coordinate work while humans perform the physical tasks those systems cannot yet do. Yet. AI becoming the middle manager of human labor.

Planter should live-stream the laser removal of his of his tattoo and frame it as accountability, not spectacle. Announce it as a transparent step in taking responsibility for past mistakes. Partner with a respected medical professional & include a brief statement acknowledging harm & committing to better judgment. Disable monetization and keep production simple. Follow with a community conversation about growth & learning.

Thanks to everyone who has tried our new feed reader Inkwell, and especially folks who have upgraded to Micro.blog Premium for the Reading Recap feature. Now that I’ve had a few days to evaluate how the launch is going, we’re going to need to add more servers, so the upgrades help a lot.

The algorithm has discovered a profitable emotion: low-grade dread. Not panic. Not hope. Just enough anxiety to keep the thumb moving. Infinite scroll as a cardiogram of civilization.

@brentsimmons Thanks for taking the time to thoughtfully answer my questions. Your insight and reflections on software craft, RSS, blogging, and the open web were genuinely inspiring.

Not every website has an RSS feed. Now that doesn't matter. Web Feeds is a new NewsBlur feature that turns any website into a live RSS feed. Point it at a URL, and it figures out the rest.

@brentsimmons I like being on Mastodpn and @ivory is one of my favorite apps.

Last question. If someone were starting today and wanted to build software that genuinely improves the web rather than exploiting it, what advice would you give them?

@brentsimmons We’re having this conversation on Mastodon. Is this your social media platform of choice these days? Or is it platforms like Bluesky or Nostr? Or are you platform agnostic?
