Been at @sxsw.com less than six hours and already having so many good conversations about Vision Pro and immersive storytelling.

PSA to my friends in California near the fires: breathing in wildfire smoke is really bad for you (even if it’s not super thick where you are) but if you have face masks (N95, KN95, etc) those can help a lot

At some point, if all goes well, you stop taking pride in arcane knowledge about niche topics and you start taking pleasure in sharing your passion with as many people who are obviously interested as possible. Our time here to learn and live is brutally short. Don't keep gates. Hold them open. Wide.

The recipe for soda bread from a well-established Irish chef casually includes the instruction to cut a cross on it "to let the fairies out", because there's only two things people correctly fear on this island: open slurry pits, and angering the Aos Sí

Calling art “content” is like calling your pets “meat.” It’s technically correct, I guess, but it’s real reductive and kinda gross.

a thing i really love about the bluesky migration is instead of trying to import contacts, it has successfully recreated the feeling of trying to find your friends after a natural disaster, with a severely cracked phone screen.
