meet clout-as-a-service: where weaponised FOMO meets digital gaslighting
Life and We're all going to die
I had some abstract awareness of clout-as-a-service, but this post really fucked my shit up.
Flighty is one of my very favorite apps. It’s exceptionally well-designed and extremely useful. They just pushed some big UX updates, including this cool year-end passport, which I thought was nice. I had many years of travel data in TripIt, which I was able to import. Cannot recommend this app enough. Because I travel somewhat infrequently, I just pay the monthly subscription before my flight and then deactivate it after travel is complete. Nice to have that as an option.
I’ve really been enjoying Faith, Hope and Carnage. It’s a conversation between Nick Cave and Sean O’Hagan in book form. It’s lovely. It dawned on me today that way back in the early 90s when I was a College Marketing Rep for Sony Music we worked Gideon Gaye by his band, The High Llamas. Been enjoying it today. It still holds up quite well.
I was struck by the realisation of just how powerful live music is – that a group of individuals can come together and concoct a sound unique to them, and that people can connect with that distinctive vision as if it were their own experience.
Nick Cave - The Red Hand Files - Issue #347- I don’t experience anything when I go to concerts anymore, but I still really enjoy music. Do you like going...
Maggie articulates what I believe is the future of the web, or at least a component of what it will be.
