The world could be such a nice place if we allowed it. It's all so goddamn unnecessary. There's no need for any of it. It's so beautiful here. It should be so cool to be alive

And the companies that are refunding tariffs are going to return it to the customers they raised prices on, right?

Right?

Reporter: Do aliens exist?

Obama: *chuckles* Technically no, a time ghoul is from Earth. Just not today’s Earth

I hate this, why do we allow it to happen?

AI’s text-trap: Moving towards a more interactive future AI assistants don’t have to be text-only. Here’s a framework for designing richer experiences using your product’s design system.

This is a decent summation of why interfaces remain important. Sometimes it's simply more efficient to press a button, operate a slider, or use an interface, than type out longer strings of text. uxdesign.cc/ais-text-tra...

Of course, having both is an accessibility dream.

How PFAS harm our health β€” and why they're everywhere - Horizons What do non-stick pans, firefighting foam and many of our couches, carpets and cosmetics have in common? They’re all made with PFAS. The so-called forever chemicals helped spur innovation, but they’re...

PFAS, also known as "forever chemicals," helped spur innovation. But they're also insidious to human health. https://to.pbs.org/4qRXD2m

It’s not a plot hole that Elmo has been 3 years old for 50 years. He was bitten by The Count, willingly. Elmo asked for the Dark Gift

@halideapp.bsky.social Hey gang, question...

If I go big and buy the one-time purchase on mk.II β€”Β is that applicable to mk.III or is that going to be a separate SKU?

FINALLY! Spain creates new laws to hold CEOs accountable for the content on their platforms.

This regulation aims to clamp down on the 'digital Wild West' of hateful & illegal content that Tech CEOs platform AND intentionally amplify with no accountability.

"No more hiding behind code." πŸ‘πŸΌ

Resist and Unsubscribe

Hey, if you're busy, but are spending on tech, and want to do some activism.

Here's a way to do it with your wallet. www.resistandunsubscribe.com

The only possible conditions to buck this might be a private company, with no investors, making a huge surplus in revenue, and sharing profits with an organized labor force.

I wish I understood this when I was younger, but the promise sold to millennials in tech was 'this time would be different.'

You may have experienced this in a job, past or present and thought... "this isn't right...this company is terrible", or being run poorly.

This is a misunderstanding. This is the systems working as intended. Aggressively pushing risk down from investors and shareholders, to workers.

To function as intended, capitalism has a fundamental need to strip workers of power. Regardless of company, location, job title, or tenure.

Individual contributors are left holding the bad, middle management is left with an illusion of safety or power, and all but the top executives are protected.

Holy shit Danielle, I thought this was a flat plane because the couch blends into the floor and I spent 20 seconds staring at your cats thinking they were the size of loveseats!

Catherine, you're a legend, and one of the people that made me love comedy and film. Your work and the joy you bring will echo for generations to come.

I couldn’t be more proud to have played a tiny role in IGN’s 30 years. Working with folks there was an honor. From awesome writers, to passionate technologies and designers.

@ign.com is forever in my heart.

The nice thing about working in law enforcement is that you get to pick and choose what laws you’re into

a heavily armed paramilitary force with legal immunity is occupying a city and going door to door kidnapping non-white adults and children in furtherance of an explicitly white nationalist political project
