Adam Schiff got humor and knows how to play with emotions. He gave a baby penguin a name and vilified Trump and Republicans alike for putting a tariff on George.

Trump is evil but putting a tariff on George is without consequences.

Initiating a recession possibly depression out of pure stupidity and maliciousness is: poverty kills.

Emotional AI Firmware Updates: A Human Upgrade or the Path to Digital Numbness?

Imagine waking up anxious, stressed, or carrying an emotional weight you’d rather not face—and instead of turning to therapy or introspection, you’re offered an “Emotional Firmware Update.” One click, and the discomfort vanishes—replaced by instant calm and contentment.

Tempting? Maybe. But at what cost?

In my latest newsletter, I explore a future that feels increasingly possible: one where artificial intelligence doesn’t just influence how we live—but how we feel.

The question? 👉 Are we enhancing our lives with AI—or slowly trading away what makes us human?

If you’re someone who enjoys thinking about the intersection of#technology, emotion, and humanity’s next chapter, I invite you to read it—and share it with others who might appreciate the reflection.

Read it here, share it, and please subscribe to it. It is free!!! 😉

A lot of what people are calling #FOMO is actually something else.

When you go to bed and within 5 seconds of not falling asleep you grab your phone for some light entertainment, thats not fear of missing out!

Its FOT - fear of thinking.

You fear that thinking will make you feel sad about the world and your part in it.

#mindfulness doesn't teach you to stop thinking. It teaches you to stop fearing your thoughts, to stop judging your emotions and to turn your negative feelings into positive actions.
Empowerment is the only antidot for powerlessness.

Miss out on the distractions and concentrate on solutions.

Affective Politics of Digital Media; Propaganda by Other Means; Edited by Megan Boler & Elizabeth Davis, 2020

This interdisciplinary, international collection examines how sophisticated digital practices and technologies exploit and capitalize on emotions, with particular focus on how social media are used to exacerbate social conflicts surrounding racism, misogyny, and nationalism.

Paper Faces - The Human Psyche: PARANOIA
FACES. We all have them. They fascinate me. Expressions in particular - from subtle to extreme.
OLD PAPER. These too share qualities of human expression. From long ago handwritten notes, aged newspapers and maps to worn paper stained with time. In this series of prints, I combine them to create whimsical "stories" about the nature of being human.

PsyPost: Hostile tweets linked to upbringing and legal troubles, study finds. “By linking official government records to the online activity of Danish Twitter users, the researchers found that individuals with numerous criminal verdicts, more time spent in foster care, better performance in primary school, and higher childhood socioeconomic status tended to be more hostile in their social […]

Who here feels like they are subjectively too NICE? Or that it might be better for themselves to be less NICE? 🙂

@dpaldrich reviews "Connecting After Chaos: Social Media and the Extended Aftermath of Disaster" by Stephen F Ostertag which argues 'that during these most desperate of times, our shared concerns, values, and moral judgment come to light through cultural work' and may help build 'a systematic understanding of how people emotionally process and engage with the shocks to come.'

I'm very excited about COST action Affect-Evo on animal affect, and equal parts excited and dauted to have taken on leadership of WG2, "Societal impacts of understanding animals’ affective states". Looking forward to working with social scientists, law scholars, and animal behaviour peeps.

We're still working on the website but have a logo. That means the project is official, right?
