Our vet uses an ai agent phone service and I just want to be free from this hell. I tried, man. Explained the reason. The AI interrupted me and asked a non useful question. So I asked to speak to a real person, it asked why I was calling again, and then it connected me so I could start all over.

Stop making me laugh!!!! I'm at work!!!!!

I love solidarity so much.

EXPEDITIOUSLY AT LOUD VOLUME

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

I want to know who made a deal with Eric Adams that now amounts to nothing.

How can I go into work when I have all this revelry-ing to do online, the posts are so funny today

Last night I went to an election watch party and one thing I remember is they were showing the results from Virginia, and some lady behind me was like "Virginia? Oh we don't care about that." and I wanted to turn around and be like "HELLO? Have we learned nothing about solidarity?"

I'll just be over here re-watching Mamdani's victory speech.

I'LL TAKE YOUR CLASSIC 6 NOW PLEASE

IS THIS JOY

BREAKING: Zohran Mamdani wins the New York City mayoral race, NBC News projects. nbcnews.to/4nIzNUC

libbing out harder than I was in 2020

loooooooser booooo 🍅🍅🍅 @schumer.senate.gov

[P] The Swamp of Sadness has endorsed Andrew Cuomo.

Always torn between appreciating the work of their tech team and hating absolutely everything else.

I finally got the November playlist out! It's on 8 platforms so everyone can listen: Apple Music, Spotify, Tidal, Deezer, Qobuz, Amazon Music, YouTube & Last[dot]fm. Enjoy 🎤🎧🎶🎸

As I read more about capitalism, technological development, and AI, I am growing less worried about AI fully replacing my job. What I’m more worried about is AI fulfilling capitalists’ desire to deskill us and push us into lower-paying and more precarious work.

I don't even care if Mamdani can't personally guarantee he can fulfill all of the policies he ran on. Or if he doesn't accomplish all of them as mayor. I don't care. What I care about is putting people in these positions that are actually going to try instead of hand waving it off.

Tavern Keeper went into early access recently and I appreciate this note from the game director listing all of the work they've done over the years. "100% human made - no generated code, art, sound, voice or anything else."

Happy Zohran Day to all who celebrate!!

I know icons are hard, but the share button always throws me off for some reason on Bluesky because I think of it as "upload" and my brain short circuits for a second before I remember that's the button for sharing a link.

Dust allergy is really popping off today.

Playing that Keke Palmer "sorry to this man" clip over and over.

i hope this is how you find out about dick cheney

I'm not going to be able to focus on anything tomorrow.

I kind of wish we would dial back on the "card" UX pattern. Love that designers want to make big clickable hit targets. Hate when the entire website is basically clickable and I can't click on the page to re-focus my browser screen without triggering something.

I'm back from vacation so it's time to be an insufferable complainer about web related things and also to hate the government.

It's going to be very hard for me on Monday to go from basically two weeks of visiting friends and caring about community things to... work. Where I work with some very caring people, but it just doesn't compare.

That a federal judge had to block the Trump administration from pushing millions of Americans into hunger says everything about this President and the party he leads. Grateful to our Attorney General for being on the frontlines of this fight.

“some people abuse SNAP” your soul is rotten

Hey artists Just keep posting. Last post didn’t get many likes? Keep posting. Not 100% happy with what you made? Post it. Feel like you aren’t getting anywhere? Keep posting. You never know who will find you and when.

I haven't had ice cream in ages and I just ate some and im going to have such a tummy ache tomorrow hell yeah!!! Then im going to vote and then do live band karaoke Halloween party!!! I can't wait!!

Instagram has meta AI results at the top of its search results but if I look up forte greene dog parade winners I get results from 80+ weeks ago instead of the event that just happened today that I also attended

Online on a weekend? You can grab access to my web components course for $25 today and tomorrow. Big ol’ discount. Use the code OCT25-26. (And as usual, if you need further accommodation, just use the email form and we’ll work it out.) scottjehl.com/learn/webcom...

Ngl, the men at bars are so fucking rude these days lol. Even the ones you don't directly interact with.

I think instead he should ask Zohran to endorse him or see what conversations he needs to have to make that happen. 🙄

I love that bars and restaurants use Instagram so much because it means when they post about events I don't get to see them until two weeks after they happened. Love that.

That’s the kind of kneejerk dismissive advice that makes me violent. Telling people to just grow their own food is tantamount to telling them to eat cake.

Google used to provide scholarships to women in tech for some of the major tech conferences. I've been checking but haven't seen much this year And now they are completely distancing themselves and offloading the Women Techmakers organization that they started

✏️ Yes, let's teach LLMs accessibility, but also provide the companies using them with better strategies hidde.blog/teaching-llm... (longest post title I ever did, EVER)

In the audience tonight is Charlotte Bennett, one of the 13 women that Andrew Cuomo is credibly alleged to have sexually harassed while they worked in his government. She can't speak for herself because Cuomo's lawyers have hounded her. So I confronted him.

Tonight I experienced cover bands are playing blink 182 as end of the set throw backs.

If you've had any UX/accessibility wins lately tell us please. I need to know tech isn't all just slop and feature chasing. I've been SPIRALING.

Pretty sure I see this in every org I've ever been in: 1) Design system team makes the most accessible *possible* components, allowing people to compose the correct attributes/roles/etc 2) Engineering teams completely fall apart at piecing them together accessibly. It's this everywhere.

They call them "managers" but they don't even provide any mana
