I'm struck by the extent of instinctive pushback on the idea that whatever led people to support Nazis might be in anyone. But if we can't see how people like (yes) us could've done that, we won't be able to learn not to. We'll just assume it can't be us until, well, it is.

Hope everyone who buys the Apple Pencil today remembers: you have to manually add it to Find My (the “+” button in the “Devices” tab). Do it on any device and it gets added on all your devices.

I feel like this is just normal for those of us who grew up outside the UK and US - basically anywhere English was not the only language. Once you're free from the assumption that your media has to be in your native language, you're open to everything else.

I’ve come o associate spiritual maturity with a preparedness to wait. It’s an unhurriedness grounded in a conviction that you are LOVED by the one who’s always been in the business of working order out of chaos. Patience doesn’t come naturally to me but I’m learning to wait.

I really really love that this exists.
A few months ago, we started archiving. We've dug through the thousands of dusty old Nigerian newspaper pages, digitised them, and made them accessible at your fingertips. And we're just getting started. Start exploring:

How I feel about Google’s photography announcements is nailed by @gruber in one elegant phrase:. “…technically impressible, but ethically blithe.”. I really couldn’t put it better.

Pixel phone photography is racing ahead to a world where images reflect moments that never actually were.

Something I’ve learned the hard way, but which I’m not sure I’ve ever seen articulated clearly.
Long vacations rarely cure burnout. They usually bring temporary relief. The frequency of time off from work matters more than the duration. 2 separate week-long vacations are more restorative than a 2-week trip. Regular breaks are vital to well-being.

The way I read the Bible has been transformed by @bibleproject . Here are their 7 pillars for reading the Bible the way it was intended - as a unified story that leads to Jesus. 🧵 The Bible is….

Best description of this phenomenon that I’ve ever seen.
threadboi threads are like 100th-generation xerox copies of thinking . do y’all know what xeroxing a xerox does . it’s like continuously re-saving as a jpeg . no wonder everybody is so impressed by chatgpt. they don’t know what actual thinking sounds like.
