Look we got that 3.5% isn’t a magic number just like 10k hours isn’t a magic number, 10k steps isn’t a magic number, 2k calories isn’t a magic number. Let’s all let magic numbers go and understand relative amounts more or less.

I am reading this delightful book. For anyone else who has read it or knows, what is the “lingua franca” of the characters and is it French? What else could it be?

@leifur I’ve had multiple friends tell me their bosses are asking “how are you using ai?” And they are like… “I’m using it to save time. Like Jack does.” No one knows Jack.

@futurebird the book Around the World in 80 Trees is great and helped me recognize many local trees because in cities we often have planted trees from all over

Hong Kong protestors say:

"Do Not Split."

Do not condemn the people on your side who embrace tactics you disagree with.

Do. Not. Split.
#doNotSplit

Yet if the movement is leaderless and anarchic, it isn't chaotic. It has guiding principles that allow participants to self- regulate even as the movement constantly reinvents itself. Among those principles is ("do not split"). Protesters use the expression to say that no one in the movement should condemn or obstruct the actions of fellow protesters they disagree with. People who oppose a given action should sit it out, but not try to prevent it.The use of force, in particular, is a divisive issue. Some insist on the necessity of keeping the protests peaceful, so that they will seem morally legitimate and may gain sympathy from the broader public. Others — especially younger protesters or protesters who consider that the lengthy sit-ins of the Umbrella Movement failed — believe that some measure of force has become necessary; otherwise, the government will simply ignore them.

The “do not split” idea acts as a bridge between these two factions by promoting mutual respect for diverging views within the protest movement.

Everyone is excited about call screening but like, how many calls from Unknown do you get that turn out to be calls you want? I just let them leave a message, read said message and that’s been like 3 calls in 3 years.

Hot take: was in Philly, asked all the people about cheesesteaks…they were fine? Like where’s the sabor? Next time need to find the Latino cheesesteak outlet. Feel free to roast me/give me your advice.
