Thanks. Much appreciated. We sometimes wonder if anyone is out there listening but even if they're not we still have fun!

I have a friend, perhaps even a mutual friend, who has been doing tweets about QAnon as if he takes it all seriously. I can't work out if he is right, is indulging in digital performance art, or has completely lost his marbles!

Thanks for sharing this Adam. It is going to be interesting to see how things go. Some people have expressed concern that I will "lost my audience" but as I never saw them as such I'm not worried! As always it is about the quality of the conversations rather than the frequency and as you say "simplistic, tribal hot takes" have become wearying.

I love your list of why they don’t have a go. This is why I have started to explore the possibility of Non-Exec Director roles. I could give them a nudge!

So true. I still love using the social tools but you have to remember that their are just told rather than ends in themselves.

Very sad. Integrating the Individual and the Organization was one of the first books that made sense of what I was trying to do at the BBC.

I saw someone describe their job as "boat rocker" the other day and thought that it's about the only job I'd be interested in applying for these days!

I agree Stuart. I got my invite a while back and haven't seen a reason to write yet. Like you I struggle to see how Medium is different other than a slight smugness that is putting me off!

Spot on Dave. Yesterday I used the ugly phrase "tabloidisation of the internet" but we're talking about the same thing.

Great post. I have been starting to do more drawing again and each time find it almost unbearable as I sit in front of something trying to draw that first line. It is feels like "trying" to meditate - forcing my monkey brain to sit still never works. The more I try the more pressure I feel, the more unbearable it gets. I almost feel like running away. Bonkers how much courage it takes to sustain the liminal state!

I can save the page that produces the error message as page source but then have to change it from xml to opml

I'll use Chrome in the meantime but thought you'd like to be aware of the issue

Re: Little Outliner Q&K

Hi Dave

when I try to download the opml file from Safari I get the error message "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." and the opml displayed in the browser rather than downloaded. May be a local setting but damned if I know what!

Which is why I still recommend people read Larry Lessig's Code And Other Laws of Cyberspace!

Looks good Adam. Been thinking of doing the same myself.

And I tweeted last year "is authority more important to those who wield it or to those who defer to it" - great minds :-) Been too long since we've had a natter.

Autonomy is a wonderful thing - shame people are afraid of it.

Maybe that's because they have the advantage of not thinking ... ?
