Recently on @thepressbox.bsky.social, @joelanderson.bsky.social used the phrase “Bluesky creators,” and it keeps popping into my head. I’d never thought of things that way! Y’all are posters, certainly, but something about “creator” always feels visual to me? Anyway, I’ve found it a useful reframe.
Look this doesn’t matter, but if I’ve purchased something from your website and you haven’t sent it to me yet, why are you sending me marketing emails??? We can talk about buying more stuff after I’ve gotten my first stuff.
do we think the unreliable narrators…know?
editorially would never 😭
Enough can’t be said about how “machine-learning” simply reiterates the anti-blackness of tech bros and their ilk. And that includes the violence of disregard: “oh, we didn’t anticipate that as a possible problem.” That’s racist too.
Listen if you work on media products and you’re not asking, “what are we doing to prevent this system from automatically publishing slurs?” at every opportunity, please just…do something else.

i’m sorry his handle is shingythingy?
Ok I definitely forgot the subplot where the French police chief is raping women desperate for exit visas and calling them his “little romances.”
I feel like the answer to this has to be yes, but maybe I just saw the trailer eight billion times??
perhaps time for a rewatch! JK Simmons is great in everything, I feel.
I saw it around the time it came out but tbh I remember very little at this point. Do we think it holds up?
This is a man who was born to wear a trench coat. Just a face made for a trench coat, somehow.
was literally just thinking, I wonder when the last time I watched a movie where they’re actually smoking real cigarettes was.
This is how I learned Humphrey Bogart was born in 1899.
Humphrey Bogart is supposed to be thirty seven in this movie???
Just over four minutes in and someone has been shot for running away after presenting expired papers and the line “we hear very little and we understand even less” just dropped. Watching this in 2026 is gonna be something else, huh.
I have been influenced by the discourse into rewatching Casablanca for the first time in many years.
I said yesterday that the true measure of a work Slack is how many emoji it has to express frustration with Jira.
perfection, truly
the correct take, of course.
in my last role, I had a 30-day noncompete (???) and all I could think was, wow I wish I could forget how content management systems worked in 30 days!!
A comment on an article Paul Ford wrote about Kinja in 2014. The comment was left by Adrianna Jeffries and reads “yo paul come try chorus”
omg I am somehow JUST seeing this comment??
please know that this post was very popular with the chorus team circa 2015-16.
Paul this is truly one of my favorite pieces and I share it with my team on every new CMS I build.
(going on 3 now, probably not so may in the grand scheme of things but also probably too many for your one wild and precious life, you know?)
This is one of the most touching and heartbreaking things I have ever read.

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...
Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.
every. time. I’m sure my English profs would be proud 😂
