A question from a job description: "Are you experienced with Figma?" Below that, there are the Yes and No buttons. Yes is gray, and No is white.
Real quick: which button looks like it's been pressed?

As I'm well into the third decade of running my blog, I can't emphasize enough how true this is. The only place your stuff will remain online over time is the place you own.
Post a pic you took, no context, to bring some zen to the feed.

Should I be concerned that on the sites with algorithmic/targeted ads, I keep getting ads for apps for self-care and burnout recovery? And what does it say about current society that there seem to be multiple services for this specifically? 🤔
Came out a few years ago now, but it’s been on my mind recently: Susanna Clarke’s Piranesi. I really like the conceptual space and how she handles magic. And linguistically it’s just a very pleasant read.
as a kid we didn't eat out much, but when i did, my favorite was Chicken McNuggets with honey mustard sauce

Oh good, it’s not just me.
Please please my fellow journalists who are writing "Data centers in space!" pieces, read this breakdown from a retired NASA engineer before you publish. At least to ask yourself some questions. taranis.ie/datacenters-...
Nice! I’m also from the Salem cohort, Rebecca Nurse. And ironically, my wife is descended from of the judges 😅 Small world!
over a year ago, i gave a talk at the xoxo conference about a mural, a mcdonald’s, and a man. (but it was also secretly about life, and legacy, and meaning.)
finally, i’m blogging the full story, with behind-the-scenes details, and a video of the talk.

I feel like what I see most is [-] for a checkbox that has a subset where only some are checked. That could imply “in progress” since some are checked, but not explicitly.
Makes you wonder if whoever designed ‘em has ever had to use them on a daily basis.
Ahead of time, you first have to turn on full encryption on your devices, it’s not that cumbersome—a good guide here:
A reminder that bringing shitty posts over from That Fascist Site to be performatively angry about them here is a choice you don't have to make! You can just leave them there! There is so much else to be legitimately angry about! You will not lack for content!

Totoroing, verb: to show up mysteriously and provide a magical good time.
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best. It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.
it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
