What I needed to see

Breathe a sigh of relief, there is still goodness in this world, like this gem from Kamekura

This is so vomit inducing …

Spread this far and wide!

This is actually truly hilarious

what's wild is these people showed no interest in design(ers) at all when they first showed up, so this pivot to "caring" about "design" seems like an easy to way signal some semblance of interest in fixing the damn websites.

Does the person responsible for HBO → HBO Max → Max work at MSNBC now? Sorry, I mean NOW.

Fellow #designers , I imagine you got into this career because you “liked being creative” and are drowning in AI like me. This article helped me put some of my concerns into poetry. Also, see the photo from a commenter on PROCESS vs. PRODUCT #designsky . www.nytimes.com/2025/07/18/o...

I’m seeing many reposts of Donald Trump’s demented distraction from the Jeffrey Epstein mess about Rosie O’Donnell. What I’m not seeing is her sassy response. Here it is:

You’re telling me Google can (with Gemini) code an interactive multi-page website in minutes… But Google sill makes me go through this incredibly frustrating process for simple tasks like downloading an image in a google doc? And countless other basic things Priorities people! #google #designsky

Ummmm trying to find another word to describe this other than just … super cool?

Anyone have a good read-it-later article saving app? Just want a way to send an article to bucket, then view that bucket later when I’m looking for articles to read. support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/fut... #designsky #pocket #read-it-later #journalism

open.substack.com/pub/carly/p/... Especially non-designers, please read this to put words to vibes. “There’s a kind of energy to the pairing, but the dynamic raises a harder question: is this partnership about design as strategy, or design as PR? - @carlyayres.com #designsky

@figma.com to #webflow? Yeh we’re just gonna copy and take you out @figma.com to #adobeillustrator ? Yehhhh we’re just going to copy and take you out (we don’t need to be bought by you!) #designsky

just caught the read.cv shoutout! #figmaconfig #designsky

Kinda really hoping #figma doesn’t launch any #AI features… Please no… #designsky

Thanks for hosting @janelle.posts.cv @andy.posts.cv ! Was fun reminiscing about the convos on posts

Attention attention attention

@oaklandside.bsky.social what’s taking soooooo long for these mayor results? It’s already Friday afternoon ⏱️ #oakland

🍿🍿🍿

The time Larry David wasn’t happy with J.B. Smoove showing up late to his own party 🤣….this should’ve been an episode of Curb!

Hey #designsky , can any recruiters help me with an honest portfolio / resume review? After getting laid off for the 2nd time in a year, I'm back on the hunt and would love to know how a recruiter "scans" my application. Willing to pay for an honest review #jobhunting #tech #productdesign #design

Ahhhhh sharing this his cause it makes me happy to live in the Bay Area! People give this place crap but damn I feel lucky to live here #bayarea #oakland #sanfrancisco @sfchronicle.com #food The complete Top 100 list is out: See who came in at No. 1 www.sfchronicle.com/projects/202...

Give me art where someone decided it needed to exist so much that they devoted a significant portion of their limited time on Earth to create it.

This should actually come up as “community notes” on every chatGPT image

Anyone watching White Lotus? This reeks of the scene where little Schwarzenegger gets mad cause a girl wouldn’t hook up with him.

Few things would make me happier right now than to read a headline that says “Studio Ghibli tries to sue OpenAI out of existence” Can we please make this happen? #designsky #openai #ai #studioghibli

Isn't it just truly fucking hilarious that unemployment income is taxable? "Oh yeh, we know you're having a tough time after you lost your job, so here's some pennies that we call unemployment... but... we need some of those pennies back next year" Sincerely, The U.S. Government's Social Safety net

Really dug this @taurean.posts.cv and @pedropeguerojr.com . Actually even kinda preferred it to Andy's read.cv messages with the big imagery. Awesome job!

Echoing this! Not afraid to admit the only reason I was able to afford graduate school is because it was essentially “subsidized” by international students.

Yesterday the layoff-witch came for me (second time in a year!) First, god damnit … this fucking sucks (feel like I can be more real here than LinkedIn…) Second of all, know anyone looking for lead/senior level product designer (emphasis on design systems) winstonstruye.com #designsky #design

🚨🚨🚨 This should alarm designers as much as artists. Fellow designers, don’t be blinded to your right of independence of ideas by “shiny tech.” #designsky

I wonder how many people are vibe-coding a “minimalist to-do app”, the world really doesn’t have enough of those… #designsky #newideasplease #vibecoding

Humor is the only way I can survive these times and this helped

Can’t wait!

Damn I wish this would get more headlines

What’s the opposite of a Nobel Peace Prize? I think we have a winner.

The phrase “no shit Sherlock” always springs to the top of my whenever I try to read one of those NN group “studies” on some UX paradigm. I’d be happy to just move on Jakob Nielsen’s attempts to remain relevant. #designsky #design

#Oakland ! there is a bunch of mayoral debates coming up for a very important election! 🧵 with each of them below... #mayor #debate #localpolitics

I would like to extend my gratitude to all podcast creators that are able to keep their episodes under like ….. 3 freaking hours…. And to those who can’t, google “discernment” #podcasts #interviews

This is just…. Really well fucking said. Can someone give this person like … an entire political party 🥲? Or maybe the chair of an important congressional committee 🥲?

Just read a great little recap on the Thao bribery. If you live in #oakland #eastbay , subscribing to #eastbayinsiders is a must. I wish they were on Bluesky. eastbayinsiders.substack.com?r=7580u&utm_...

🤮🤮🤮

I want a Pomodoro (/focus) timer that is -Not on my computer/phone (external) -A nice piece of industrial design (no tomato) Any tips? #designsky #productivity #focus #pomodoro #minimalist

I think this is good news

Ummm this sounds awesome - me in California #oakland #california Danes launch crowdfund to buy California, in apparent jab at Trump www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/arti...

It’s well known that chatGPT is bad at math but looks like @samasama.bsky.social is also bad at basic calculations

Fantastic visual design is incredibly hard, pain-staking, and slow work... But honestly, a lot of it just making sure stuff is aligned...

I’ll be there!

absolutely fitting that Wired, as the original media home of cyberlibertarianism, should publish the reporting that brings the first real attempts to stop Musk. Absolutely tremendous. I do have to wonder where we might be, though, if access journalism hadn't dominated the tech press for decades.
