“...the COVID Conscious community’s vision for the future lives in the ever-present now – without denial… This pragmatism allows for an actual future, not a fantasy future, to be brainstormed."

British-Sudanese artist Umnia knows how it works.

COVID Consciousness as a Subculture

The nostalgia freeze is a crisis of imagination. COVID consciousness is a way out.

Positive Deviance

@SimonCHulse that’s next year, when they release the next form factor, and hopefully supply chain stuff doesn’t mean the prices have to jump too far.

They’ve probably ran the numbers, and it’s better to keep those devices in the ecosystem this year - less likely to jump to Android, more likely to buy next year.

(And more likely to update their watches between now and then 😉

I’m being daft/cynical, but also not quite kidding

Our statement on the UK government’s demand that all content on all devices sold or used in the country be scanned, on the presumption of nudity, using a dystopian combination of age verification and content scanning. This proposal will not safeguard children. It endangers us all.

@SimonCHulse to sell more watches in the next year 😅

“teach your kids critical thinking skills and media literacy, and let them see the world.”

This is how me and my wife have raised our kids. My youngest, now 17, watched Apple’s Keynote with me. He said pretty much the same thing as you re: how parents can do things.

Style Boyz - Incredible Thoughts/Donkey Roll

Ha - the end music for WWDC is giving “Never Stop Never Stopping” vibes

It’s all completely private but won’t be available in the EU because of their privacy regulations.

Said with a completely straight face.

Incredible.
