The computer lost the mandate of heaven when the humble, helpful "program" was replaced with the insidious "app"

It's hard to be excited about the Artemis III mission announcements when the CEO of the company making one of the mission's rockets has spent his week inciting racial violence via his personal social media platform.

Let’s check in on the “ethical” ai company….

IDK ABOUT ALL THIS AI STUFF I JUST HAVE MY CAT WRITE ALL THE CODE HES TERRIBLE AT IT BUT HE LOVES DOING IT

Some really crazy cases in here - cop looked up ex-girlfriend and family in Flock 100+ times - cop stalked wife giving "test" as reason - cop searched one plate 395 times in 10 months; was later fired Cops keep getting arrested for using Flock to stalk people www.404media.co/cops-keep-ge...

Oh, you're a UX designer? Then name every user

Oh cool, so chatbots train you to do the exact opposite of critical thinking. “Sycophancy is a safety issue”

This week's horoscope is very designer coded

A lot of designers are worried about Claude pooping out layouts or whatever, instead of the fact there's no reason to have designers if there's no downside to being shitty to customers and workers. If quality or usability or more efficient processes aren't an advantage, you can just do whatever.

Hey guys, I'm offering a new service.

If sexual abuse was really considered a terrible thing, the world's richest and most powerful people wouldn't be abusers. The most valued technology wouldn't produce sexual abuse on demand. And allegations of abuse wouldn't be framed as positive depictions of masculinity. Our culture rewards abuse.

This is extremely ick tbh #wwdc26

Hello Kitty Party Land coming out in the best month aka October 😌

When you see the old Posts website on a design inspiration website 🥲

I just cannot get excited about this vision of human computer interaction where you speak to your device, awkwardly wait 10 seconds, get back a wall of text, repeat

it’s actually such a good illustration of how some people think oppression works—my not receiving special treatment is proof i am oppressed, actually

elon musk asking for spacex to automatically get into the S&P 500 if it IPOs for over $1T is such rich kid shit. when in his entire life has he done anything other than ask to skip the line.

I am so sick of Big Tech bullshit. if you want to move fast and break things, start with your own bones

What if we abolished tech, started over with products that served us, instead of things that make us the product?

here’s my impression of someone live-posting wwdc: “wow that’s crazy”

With alt text, so everyone can feel like they're having a stroke Also, "Hollywood's most charming wellness mom" is a hell of a way to describe a grifter

starting to see some Claudes replicating in the wild, not a good sign

Just need everyone to know that the Belgium men's soccer team has new jerseys based on the art of Rene Magritte and this is the official photo shoot

It's Monday, I'm tired, and an article about a 28 yr old asking if they're too "old" to be a graphic designer has given me psychic damage

Franco Grignani's Pharmaceutical Advertising Design designreviewed.com/the-pharmace...

it’s not just about momentum. the goal of these initial moves is always to remove the persecuted group from public life for a reason — it diminishes the mitigating effect of proximity to members of the persecuted group, because proximity is humanizing and makes later cruelties harder to rationalize

I side eye anyone using AI slop images in their decks. Don't do it. Your deck looks the same as anyone else's, it's uncanny valley distracting, and you'd be better off without the image, or just doing stick figures.

There are no “guy games.” There are no “girl games.” Grow crops. Slay gods. Decorate the house. Survive the nightmare. Spend two hours picking the perfect outfit. Then go fight a dragon in it. Video games don’t have genders. The controller doesn’t care who’s holding it.

Someone remind me: what is that website that is like Dribbble but not Dribbble More UI-specific

Maybe I'm missing something but I don't understand the barrage of marketing emails that occurs whenever you buy something Is anyone like "sure, I'll go ahead and put in more orders before I received what I literally just ordered 5 seconds ago"

Interesting to watch Twitter founder Jack Dorsey publicly protest against racial bias in policing before agreeing to support Twitter’s takeover by a man who believes that “certain ethnic minorities are imprisoned more… because they commit more crime”

I have received video of Seth Moulton being loudly booed at Boston Pride.

TIL that downgrading a Figma plan is kind of convoluted

TIL Figma has a captcha if you open up enough files at once on web

Downloading stuff from my personal Figma feels a bit like performing an exorcism

We need ~30 years of data from the AMOC to be able to finally determine if it's actually collapsing. We're at 20 years of data. Removing this now means we can't definitively determine a potential AMOC collapse that could result in substantial climate disruptions. www.livescience.com/planet-earth...

The top 2026 X accounts gives insight into the lie that X is the town square. These people are niche celebrities and their influence on X does not represent influence elsewhere. Your participation is not going to change this graph www.natesilver.net/p/social-med...

Today's "I woke up too early on a Sunday" jam

I'm not sure how this happened but DuckDuckGo has deleted hundreds of bookmarks I've been saving over the years......... so that's cool and fun

Happy pride month to everyone but especially whoever uploads full Lady Gaga concerts to YouTube

UBI would solve so many problems but we don’t have it because it would solve the wrong problems, according to the people who hold the most power

Reminds me of a diagram from one of my favourite academic papers of all time

you’re laughing. my handle is invalid and you’re laughing

Wish I was president so I could get some damn sleep!

It is SO refreshing to be spending time in Figma doing real design work again
