Orlando City really do be shitting the bed

Not sure the folks at NBC/Peacock thought this one through

women don't like the vehicle

New artwork for the office

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all. I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn. Please, share this. 🖤

[Slack message] You have a minute?

Hello. I’ve made a zine. It’s fun to hold. It’s fun to read. It has an essay about AI, which sucks, and some cartoon collages that I made. And the best part is that it can be yours for $5 cheap. Order it today, and future you gets a wee gift in the mail next week! www.mulebooks.com/store/dont-b...

Pretty wild to think that the app I started using for editing and sharing photos is now the one I use for bookmarking skateboard tutorials.

So is Figma going to serve me this “suggestion” every time I duplicate something on my artboard? 🫠

Robin Williams' daughter has some quality thoughts on AI slop

The only photo I took from this morning’s Cars & Coffee meetup

You know you’ve made it when your friends want you to design their kid’s 8th grade yearbook dedication

About to be the family that owns TikTok.

Direct link to the IG post here. Hopefully this can help get Tucker in touch with the right person to shine a light on what ICE is doing to Barbara Marques www.instagram.com/tuckermaymys...

Today I watched people attempt to ride tandem bikes over an obstacle course

ICE agents held a 5-year-old autistic girl outside her Massachusetts home to pressure her father to surrender to authorities last week, according to the girl's family

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...

If you help people make decisions—design, technology, policy, etc.—and you want to make it more likely those decisions are based on clear goals and evidence (and maybe even ethics!), I have a public workshop coming up this week on 9/24. www.eventbrite.com/e/lets-do-de...

The Question Episode 061 with this week's co host @natalyathree.bsky.social is LIVE! Answer here bit.ly/answerTheQue... and join us on Thursday at Noon Eastern for the deep dive into how our skills as #designsystems practitioners are evolving. See you Thursday!

Don't need to hear one more 'Bluesky is an echo chamber' post ever again. Meta is scraping parents IG 'back to school photos' of their daughters in schoolgirl uniforms and using them in ads to entice men to sign up for Threads. It's all pedos and perverts running the country. All of em.

Forget the Draft Kings Win Probability I wanna see the Sergio Busquets Hands to the Face Probability

SHEESH 😲

A mainstream outlet finally does more than repeat the official BS statement from ICE about the shooting of Silvero Villegas-Gonzalez. This man's death should be a national scandal. Grateful for indy journalists who questioned the official narrative that corporate outlets mindlessly echoed last week.

My friend @mrpepper.bsky.social and @jfschroeder.bsky.social, who I don't know but I'm sure is a wonderful human being, have written a book about raising boys. I'm excited to read it, and you should too. Whether you’re raising a boy or not. Been looking forward to this one.

It’s quite baffling that the man who threw the first punch (Busquets) received zero punishment from MLS. www.mlssoccer.com/news/major-l...

Major League Soccer is overrun by grown-ass men spitting on elders and sucker punching young adults. www.espn.com/video/clip/_...

I'm still a subpar skater, but hitting the skatepark one or two mornings a week does wonders — fresh air, exercise, re-learning tricks, and the confidence to try new ones.

“This ‘national studio’ is designing for the small subset of American citizens who fit their ideal of who can afford, and who can access, the digital services they’ll create.”

A wee reminder that I am looking for my next client. I’m a design systems and content design consultant, specialising in design systems management, documentation, general content design, and consultancy. I’ve worked with the BBC, GOV.UK, Springer Nature, NHS, The Wellcome Trust, BT and more 1/2

Happy early birthday to me

Inter Miami showing their whole ass after losing that Leagues Cup final

Look, my birthday isn't until November but if I can make my wish now it'd be for Seattle to beat Miami in the final.

To restate: DOGE eliminated designers at 18F, the U.S. Digital Service, and across many federal agencies. We were already doing this work, and following best practices for accessibility, privacy, and security as we did so.

This story is brutal, but important to consider how chatbots fit into people's lives, and also how we fit into each other's lives. I feel for Adam's parents, and how devastating it must have been going through these chat transcripts.

This WaPo piece about the Airbnb/DOGE guy who is now the head of design in government ignores that: *DOGE fired the actual talented design people in government, including Social Security! *IRS had a beautifully designed tax filing system that DOGE killed *USDS already did online passport renewals

Do you guys wanna see a dead body

“There is an argument that your experience of government shouldn’t “exceed expectations”. Down that route lies surprise and delight. I think that’s a distraction -- I’m not the only one. Government should just work. Simply, easily, clearly, and quickly.”

CarGurus has a fun lil’ visualization for light and dark modes: vehicle colors that symbolize your options.

I think it's really worth noting that this concentration camp was opened one month and three days ago. This woman saw enough horror in that time to quit and tell the public what she saw. Which suggests that it's not as bad as we think, or as bad as we can envision from her description—it's worse.

I'm hiring, again! I'm looking for a strong (senior+) design-engineer (full 50/50 split) to join our design system team. Come bring the craft back to UI design!
