Way too much regurgitating what DHS said and not nearly enough reporting exactly what we can all clearly see in the video.

The radio broadcast version is even worse, not even mentioning the group of men holding him down while he’s murdered.

Shame on you @npr.org

Does Xcel make more than $1B in profit annually? Yes. Xcel Energy made an estimated $1.9 billion in profit in 2024 from operations in eight states including Colorado.

They have to protect their 1.9 billion profits for shareholders, right? We'll pay an extra $300 million so they can have $2.3 billion in profits next year.

This should at least be included in the story.

I got an automated one from my Dr’s office that was titled β€œYour gift is inside!” and it was a playful note that I’m finally old enough to schedule my colonoscopy.

I made it to western NY where the beer is $4.95 and everything is deep fried. #murica

In the Future All Food Will Be Cooked in a Microwave, and if You Can’t Deal With That Then You Need to Get Out of the Kitchen As a restaurant owner – I’m astounded at the rate of progress since microwaves were released a few short years ago. Today’s microwave can cook a frozen burrito. Tomorrow’s m…

JavaScript broke the web (and called it progress) We replaced simple websites with complex apps nobody asked for. Now it takes a complex build pipeline just to change a headline.

Preach. @jono.id

"This isn’t evolution. It’s self-inflicted complexity. And we’ve normalised it – because somewhere along the way, we started building websites for developers, not for users."

A screenshot of the Slack sidebar where the Direct Message + button is invisible with an arrow pointing towards it and a text box that says "The hidden button I actually want to use several times per day" and the + Invite People bar is large and always visible with an arrow and text that says "The button i've literally never used but always click by mistake"

I know it's a small thing given the current state of the world, but does anyone else hate this Slack "feature" as much as I do? #slack #work #ux #enshittification

Has anyone got any research handy that proves that disabling copy/paste on input makes it more accurate?

It can't be right? Copy & paste vs. typing in a long number? No way it's less error prone.

It's definitely a worse experience for the user.

I’m looking at an old project I did solo in 2023 and I swear I don’t know who wrote any of this code! None of it looks familiar to me.

Pretty fun result if you Google search for β€œSquid Games Season 2” and tap the floating card.

I finished reading Station Eleven by Emily St John Mandel this week and it rocked me in a good way. So I’m spending part of my Christmas binging the show on Max. It’s been great so far.

I watched those guys clean the platforms constantly. The pessimistic, anti-capitalist me decided in my head based on no research that the contractor must have lobbied the RTD board for a multi-million dollar contract to clean the stations even if they aren’t dirty.

I've recently discovered Christmas Trap.

It's something.

Not sure what. But something.

It just hit me… I haven’t seen a single ad on Bluesky yet.

And no algorithms trying to force-feed me something they think is important.

This is why it feels so good here, it hasn’t been ruined yet.

If we had CWV data specifically for iOS Safari it would be amazing. And any competition to CrUX data would be valuable as well.

I like to read my feed in chronological order so it feels like I’m catching up to now.

But here when I load the app it takes me to the top of my feed with the latest and I have to read backwards.

Maybe this is a setting I can change somewhere? Or it’s just me who likes to β€œcatch up” this way?
