May 09 @jmrphy have wanted to read more on this since you & @sentientist discussed on podcast. Have you written about it? 0 0 0 0 118 .
May 07 @shaunau and the islands are obviously 😍. Just avoid road trips on busy weekends 0 0 0 0 80 .
May 07 @shaunau nearly two years. Manila is effectively 15 mini cities, connected by clogged highways. BGC(Taguig) is remarkably comfortable 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan sure. My point is - internet is not non existant here. 0 0 0 0 85 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan question is whether the destination warrants the odd connection headache. As a 2 yr local I would say yes 0 0 0 0 136 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan that said, if expectation is same as other more developed destinations you will be disappointed 0 0 0 0 126 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan for example it's super easy as a non local to get an LTE sim, high speed on all popular tourist destinations 0 0 0 0 139 .
May 07 @levelsio @shaunau @JohnONolan averages are obviously good top level metric, but in a huge country can be misleading 0 0 0 0 116 .
May 07 @roisinkiberd will do. In the mean time follow @paulbloomatyale @tamler @peez and listen to @verybadwizards 2 0 0 0 107 .
May 07 @roisinkiberd there's also a very good coursera course - Motalities of everyday life, worth dipping into 0 0 0 0 104 .
May 07 @roisinkiberd ooh interesting. I've actually written quite a bit on morality but not yet published. Would be happy to send on if interested 1 0 0 0 139 .

May 07 Capitalism rewards ego. Currently we idolise ego-driven fame, wealth and social status and ridicule ego-driven philanthropy. Seems silly 1 0 0 0 136 .
May 07 If ego looks to be involved in any way in an altruistic endeavor, the pitchforks come out 1 0 0 0 89 .
May 07 This seems related to the modern fallacy that altruism needs to be "pure" https://t.co/iQfVMZEbC1 2 0 0 0 97 .
May 06 @roisinkiberd Not sure if fiction was a pre-requisite, but this is interesting and non-depressing: https://t.co/5FuXERxvEC 1 0 0 0 122 .
May 06 TL;DR @twitter @design @jack listen to this guy and do this 🙏https://t.co/4wf117A1ho 2 2 0 0 84 .
May 06 The irony is that I’ve never tweetstormed because I don’t want to clog up people’s feeds. This solution would solve that 0 0 0 0 120 .
May 06 Bitesizing isn't a new idea. Twitter popularised it but others have built on it. E.g. Medium Series - https://t.co/Cp15Rn1Xd0 1 0 0 0 125 .
May 06 This educational value mainly goes unnoticed because of the context in which it appears. See also: Youtube videos. 0 0 0 0 114 .
May 06 A good tweetstorm can be read *and comprehended* in under a minute. Often it’s educational density is akin to reading a short book. 0 0 0 0 131 .
May 06 And because each point is read and consumed separately, the larger idea is much more easily digestible. 0 0 0 0 103 .
May 06 The format forces you to examine every link in a chain of thought - something long-form content complicates. 0 0 0 0 108 .
May 06 I just open my notepad and jot away. It doesn’t feel like I’m writing a piece, just a few tweets. But there are also other positives: 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 06 Because of this I would say I’ve spent more time writing/exploring ideas since joining twitter. 0 0 0 0 95 .
May 06 Writing is in itself enlightening, and tweet format encourages it for one oft-overlooked reason: Low perceived-effort to get started. 0 0 0 0 133 .
May 06 Like as a new idea or concept I’d been considering crystallises, I’ll either run through it internally or write it down in 1 sentence chunks 0 0 0 0 140 .
May 06 The more time I spend on twitter, the more I think and write in tweet form. Which is a bit scary but seems ultimately positive. 1 0 0 0 127 .
May 06 This is a remarkably simple but well thought out solution to "Should Twitter increase the character limit?" https://t.co/4wf117A1ho 4 0 0 0 131 .
May 05 @levelsio @x3nome that wasn't fun-poking btw. I do believe you, hence my initial surprise 0 0 0 0 89 .
May 05 @levelsio @x3nome 😂 that level of stealth is impressive. I'm a little scared to engage now in case they come for me too 0 0 0 0 119 .
May 05 @x3nome @levelsio I was actually surprised at how civil that thread was, despite the odd bit of snark. 0 0 0 0 102 .
Apr 29 @AlexSteffen I understand and admire your sense of urgency. Looking solely at outcomes, do you think sentiment is likely to dis/improve climate action? 0 0 0 0 151 .
