Librarian, maker, tech enthusiast, design thinker...I'm trying...
Proud to support the information needs and creative energy of UNMC and Nebraska at McGoogan Library’s Linder Maker Studio. But I don't speak for them or represent any views but my own.

NATO Summit in DC As Ukraine War Rages NY Times is on it 1) Biden's age didn't come up, but don't forget it 2) NATO leaders watched POTUS. Must be his age. 3) Biden did well, but it doesn't count 4) This doesn't matter. Remember the debate? Not a non-issue, but weird way to cover an int'l summit.

This week's #GMICAwards shortlister highlight is:
Medical Gaslighting by Janice Goldberg
In MG, Goldberg asks, how are you supposed to get good medical advice, let alone accept it, when your doctor doesn’t believe your symptoms?

“As media we consistently proclaim that we are just reporting the news when in fact we are driving it. What we cover, how we cover it, determines often what Americans think is important and how they perceive these issues yet we keep pretending it’s not so.”

Is it ambiguous? Biden has unequivocally said he is running. Only the "chatterers" can't let go.

Biden gave his final answer a year ago and has only repeated it since. There is no indication whatsoever that he is considering quitting. Only the media and online "pundits" are keeping the focus here instead of moving on to more important things.

I like it, as long as you take the next step/tie it to how you can do the job. It's "Patron/Peer says I'm great" vs "I say I'm great". "I HAVE delivered result X" vs "I CAN deliver". I may be an outlier on this. I don't think it makes or breaks the app, but it may stand out vs typical form letters.

These "solutions" are trying to fix problems more effectively addressed by hiring more professional staff & paying decent salaries. Clearly the money is there, because admins are lining up to buy the next big AI tool. You could have something that actually works, but you want the digital snake oil.

When "tech" meant faster computers and smaller phones, it was exciting, you wanted to know what they were going to come up with next. Now it's a bunch of assholes trying to figure out new ways to charge you a subscription to look at the shittiest ads you can imagine

Added bonus: the train station is now the Cincinnati Museum Center, with multiple museums inside. Natural History, local history, and children's, and railroadtower view deck. Also looks like the Hall of Justice from Superfriends cartoons. 🦸♀️🦸♂️

The term "Luddite" as a pejorative synonym for "technophobe" was a technocrat PR coup; that's not what Luddites were about. They were a labour movement fighting to give workers control over technologies which were advancing w/o oversight and rapidly automating them out of their jobs. Sound familiar?

I'm adding my employer to my profile (which I generally don't do) to help connect with new bluesky users. Nothing I say or post should be taken as representing them, or anyone else for that matter.

Reading @bcmerchant.bsky.social’s Blood in the Machine and yelling to no one in particular Luddites weren’t grumpy grouchies who went around going “humbug!” to gadgets; they were normal people whose jobs were taken from them and when they resisted (effectively!) they were MURDERED in the STREETS

There's a couple of things strongly associated with ADHD - one has been called "justice sensitivity" and the other is "oppositional defiant disorder" (I question it being a disorder in a lot of cases but I digress). Either way we're more likely than average to be infuriated by "stupid" rules.

Layoffs as they are done now, are scientifically proven to be unprofitable and IMO a symptom of the brain rot cause by, and fetishization, of 'tough decision making'
and when I say scientifically proven, check out this segment from the really eye-opening write-up from HBR: hbr.org/2022/12/what...

Up bright and early before today's session. Today is workplace wellness, which is a nice follow-up to yesterday's session on the toolkit we're creating for community mental health partnerships and programming. It was standing room only, which is good and sad.
