Having a body is bad enough but you also need me to hold it in a specific position??

No thing is just a tool; all tools construct us as their subjects.

These novelty bar shots are getting more and more elaborate

Thinking about introducing a new methodology called something like Agentic Design, but it's actually just doing proper research and stakeholder alignment and exploration. At the end we ask "is using AI actually going to help us solve this problem?" and if the answer isn't "no" we start from the top

The reason the technology does well on tests but fails in the real world is that the tests are bad. This is why useless managers whose only skill is taking credit for others' work in interviews love AI so much: it's relatable!

Pronouncing chatbot in the French way from now on, in order to express my disdain

Having exhausted their well of blaming Millennials for every problem, the brilliant minds at the NYT have moved on to blaming...women.

But ransacking other languages for spare vocabulary is what the British *do*

Via the DSIT analysis of the public value of R&D, I have been introduced to the rather amazing phrase "hard-to-capture but real impacts" which I will be using in as many contexts as possible from now on www.gov.uk/government/p...

“It’s a simple question: do you think the inside of my brain is fucked up? A yes or no will suffice!!!!!”

Zohran undermining the Democratic brand of doing nothing & losing, by winning and actually using that power

Last night, after a long battle with heart disease and without regaining consciousness, Konstantin Chernenko was appointed General Secretary of the Communist Party.

Bsky being a "tiny echo chamber" is perfectly fine if that's the audience you want. The value of every eyeball is proportionally higher because you know they want what you have. This is why there are so many novelists on Blueksy and Truth Social has guys who sell supplements made from ferret urine.

Sure hope these flight delays won't be an issue during *checks notes* the holiday season

Took the cats out for a walk with my brother and accidentally created a 90s Britpop album cover

Born 4 months after me. Joined bsky 4 days after me. In both cases, accomplished a lot more in that time.

It’s hard to believe but there was a cartoon about an immigrant mouse and it was seen as totally fine and not controversial and not woke because it was an aspirational and nice thing about America that people could come here and find a better life

chopping jalapenos nose itchy ohno.jpg have been taking lava damage for the past 2 hours

Anyway my new pronouns are www.she.they/index.php

A decade of tweeting gave me an incredible transferable skill for slide decks: boiling down paragraphs of content to 140 characters of text.

I think somewhere along the line I posted so hard that I became an extrovert. Actually kind of fucked up.

This is a significant takeaway imo. Slop isn't a communication strategy.

"New York's billionaires lining up to flee to Florida when Sean Duffy shuts down air travel over NYC to spite Mamdani" would be a hilarious turn of events if either of these parties had actually ever meant to make good on their impotent threats.

Remember when they tried the "threatening us with a good time" playbook in 2020?

Adding that the preferred "police state" focuses on "street crime" and not corporate, financial, or state violence crimes .... hmmmm

The mandidate.

“He doesn’t have a mandate” are you fucking kidding? Dick Cheney died the day Zohran is elected he has the mandate of HEAVEN

Long ago, the four nations lived together in harmony

i can’t believe a good thing happened we should do this more often

HoI4 modders, to me!

Sound on 🥲

If you love vibe coding, wait till you hear about brain coding. Fan of AI art? I'm about to blow your fucking mind.

All the eras and peoples of the world agree: Staten Island fucking sucks

I have stopped linking posts with AI graphics in my newsletter, because I hate looking at them.

lmao TIL Westchester voted not to join NYC by *one vote* back in the day

Bring back America's kei truck!

Whoever lose, we wins

stop the count!

So much for all the UX thought leaders on LinkedIn jerking off about the National Design Studio getting design a "seat at the table." Goodbye to one of the few usable pieces of US gov software.

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

Portnoy's complaint reminds me of Amazon's HQ2 plans: they got mad when AOC shot down the tax breaks they wanted, then built the HQ anyway (in Hudson Yards, plus the Lord & Taylor building) because it's fucking New York, you're not going to leave, don't kid yourself

Every app trends towards becoming the Totalizr because the easiest "strategy" for leaders to come up with is "we'll simply do everything." Coming up with specifics is for peasants. Saying "no" requires a strong opinion. When the strategy is 'Everything App" managers can get away with doing nothing.
