One 21st-century Mom trying to make sense of it all.

“Someone should check on Elon. The stuff he’s liking on here is 😬

That clown quote though… chef’s kiss.”

"People really need to understand how mainstream it has become in some tech VC circles to argue that journalism itself is dangerous as an idea and should be abolished, and that it will be up to the tech world to carry this out.
[...]
"The idea of rejecting institutions to build a purer society on the internet, in vogue in tech in the 90s, by the 2010s had become a mandate to abolish and remake those institutions in big tech's image”
Kara’s really bright & is always worth paying attention to…just not sure I trust her.
Was just thinking “wait—here she’s throwing shade on AH…but isn’t AH a big investor in Post? And didn’t she cheerlead EM?” And then I got close to the end of her thread:
“…who is good and who is evil are unclear. Get it?)”
Interesting times we live in.

Creepy Claremont Institute Fellow on a creepy podcast discusses how food riots will solve “wokeness”:
“My suspicion is that this problem is going to solve itself one way or another because we’re due for a crisis, probably an economic one, and a lot of the frivolity you see… snowflakes… privilege…gender appellations… all of that goes away when there are food riots [laughter]”

As irresponsibly as Twitter is now managed, it‘ll get much worse if he starts meddling with its archive (no evidence of that yet, thankfully.)
But “the prospect of widespread erasure exists”:

But, for now, we can still pull receipts from the archive—
H/T @bestofdyingtwit:
“elon did not just find out who twitter’s top lawyer was, as he claimed earlier - he acknowledged this tweet about jim baker back in april!”

Elon Musk's buyout of Twitter has placed its user-generated archives in danger

Twitter is in disarray. This is troubling for a platform that comprises no small part of the historical record of today.

Took the PMAI Archetype Indicator assessment & scored highest in: REVOLUTIONARY/SEEKER/MAGICIAN & lowest in RULER/WARRIOR/CAREGIVER. But the archetype I’m most drawn to?
JESTER!! I married one!!

“These archetypes provide frames for our thinking and for the feelings that drive our actions[…]by providing recognizable plotlines–because the brain makes meaning in narrative form.”

Carol S. Pearson, Author and Thought Leader on Archetypal Narrative Intelligence (NQ) Blog

Pearson is the creator of the 12-Archetype System that led to the development of the Pearson-Marr Archetype Indicator® assessment, which does for Jung’s archetypal work what the Myers-Briggs has done for type. Archetypes motivate and energize human journeys, so that life becomes full of meaning and purpose. Becoming conscious of the archetypal stories each individual is living furthers heroic success and fulfillment at the personal level. Awareness of the stories people are living together in organizations, communities, and cultures builds the narrative intelligence necessary to create great places to work.
