If you’re in NYC. Erasure by Design Book Launch | Head Hi Mitch McEwen's book asks: How has erasure formed the space around us? How do we come to know it, so that we can design differently? For the McEwen will be joined by writer Sharifa Rhodes-Pitts. www.headhi.net/event-detail...

Everything is shit. Go outside. Go to the comic shop. Get something that makes you slightly uncomfortable. Sit and read it. buttondown.com/monteiro/arc...

Brutal stuff. The hyperscalers are a death cult now. Meta has burned $100bn+ on nothing and human beings will suffer for it

Hello. I'm doing a workshop next week that helps people deal with job interviews and talking about your work in general. We also talk about recognizing your value AND setting boundaries. It’s the best six hours you can spend in a vaguely work-related way possible! Sign up. We have fun!

design comrades who have been laid off: @wordstern.bsky.social wrote a really cool book, good job, to help people navigate design job interviews. there are 10 free copies of good job waiting to find their person.

A change in location is not enough to make tech that respects our rights 👇

The sharks are innocent. Or at least, they’re not eating the internet. The myth is almost as old as the global internet itself. It begins with the development of TAT-8, the first subsea fiber optic cable to cross an ocean.

In just two months, Zohran Mamdani has: -Launched the first stage of his universal childcare program -Rolled Trump into releasing a detained Columbia student -Used fair wages to get New Yorkers to clear streets and sidewalks during a blizzard FYI: This is what leadership looks like.

It was a cake for lunch day

Ways you can help me and many others that’s in the same position: - Share my portfolio: conniechen.design - Buy me a drank: buymeacoffee.com/conniechiiiwa Thank you.💛💛💛

Protein rice cakes. We are spending money on AI and protein rice cakes. When can we spend the money on universal childcare.

New — I spoke to eight trans people in Kansas about the new state law that invalidated their driver’s licenses overnight, what’s it’s like to live there right now, plus details of two DMV emails exclusively obtained by The Handbasket that shed light on the law’s chaotic and cruel rollout:

🚨 ART AUCTION 🚨 This delightful FUCK ICE painting was made with hot wax and razor blades. Stunning purple and pink. 11x14 PLUS A STICK. Winning bid will go to help people in Minnesota. Food. Rent. Bid in the comments. Shipping extra.

Formal invitation to the hockey team sent,,, if any people with connections to the hockey team wanna have them email my team my bio. I’m for real. 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

Ever wonder what happens to a cable when it’s no longer cabling? Wonder no more! This story has been a joy to write, and I hope I’ve done everyone in it justice. I hope the story of the people of infrastructure cleanses your timeline a little. (And I promise it’s not about sharks.)

Ruffle potato chips are the only chip variety to eat with onion dip

This is a reminder that ICE is still in Minnesota, that people still can’t leave their homes, and that funds are starting to run dry. Please donate if you can. Places like food shelves are struggling to meet the community’s needs.

Why am I forced to turn on Gemini / “smart” email summaries *before* I can turn package tracking back on. Package tracking was *actually* useful. Decouple this shit. Stop forcing slop on people.

Why do we need prebiotic Pepsi, protein pop tarts, and AI summaries at the top of my emails in Gmail

One year ago I made this "How to ask for users' gender" parody page in a fit of indignant rage about Trump's anti-trans executive order and the lightning speed with which previously inclusive government forms, in now requiring binary gender options, functionally erased the existence of trans people

NEW: ICE has a plan to lease offices across the US as part of a secret, months-long expansion campaign. Today, @wired.com is publishing dozens of those locations. Many are near schools, medical offices, and places of worship. Vital work from @leahfeiger.bsky.social that I'm proud to publish.

its not complicated: any tech that can "find a lost dog" can by definition also track human beings in real time across space. Not the kind of thing we should be cheering in the Year of our Lord 2026, least of all from Bezos Inc.

You can meet a range of access needs in low -fi prototypes if you're willing to do them in more than 1 way.

To follow that up with weird robots dancing in an ad

This is just so human and real and emotive

Crypto just ruined karaoke for me

Free IRS Free File

Nightmare toilets

Using Mr. Rogers in a Super Bowl commercial for mortgages should result in prison time

"Don't wanna be an American idiot One nation controlled by the media Information age of hysteria It's calling out to idiot America"

Reminder that you should listen to American Idiot in full this week, it absolutely holds up.

Bwah hahahaha

I was promised Green Day. Where was Green Day. Did I watch the wrong channel.

Happy Puppy Bowl, Superb Owl Party, and Bad Bunny Day one and all 🐶🦉🐰

CHICAGOANS!!!! Voting is open for the annual snowplow naming contest. And “Abolish Ice” is one of the options. You know what to do (vote): chicagoshovels.org

If folks don't know what to do with their rage today, and they have cash, I suggest going to standwithminnesota.com and finding someone who needs help

"Some humans (I think? Hard to tell) in masks and vests showed up this morning and took Manny and Kumal away. As you may have noticed, those two were the only staff—despite this place being open from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m."

From a friend on Facebook: "Dammit, God, you took the wrong actor from Home Alone 2... please get it right next time. Amen."

Not Catherine O’Hara I demand an immediate refund on 2026

Today is a day of a national shutdown. Many working in tech are likely afraid of losing their jobs, a reasonable fear. If you can’t take today off, consider alternative actions you might take to show solidarity for those in this country under persecution techcrunch.com/2026/01/26/t...

A reminder to the news media: “conflicting accounts” is what you say BEFORE the incontrovertible video evidence appears. After that, your job is to ask why one side is lying, not to repeat the lie and pretend no one knows the truth.

TikTok is now under US ownership and their new ToS reads like a guide to giving fascists everything they need to put you on a list. They’re collecting information about immigration status, citizenship, sexual orientation, whether you’re trans or non binary and physical or mental disabilities.

This is Minneapolis: -drop the kids off for a day with their grandparents -go to brunch with your wife -get a text from neighbors who don’t have enough food & can’t leave home or they might be abducted by fed govt -get groceries as helicopters roar overhead -deliver food & this vehicle passes you

Who has the integrity to release the actual files with the actual names of the perps

I made a Chrome extension that swaps Times New Roman for Calibri on every site or just .gov. It also had Open Sans and Open Dyslexic, because f**k these people. I’m waiting for Google’s approval for it to install automatically, but you can download it and install it in 90 seconds. Instructions 👇

Sang this song with a bunch of strangers at a dive bar in Philly last night, it was magic

I've been saying this for a year now: the Democrats have missed a gigantic political opportunity--and, at this point, have failed in an ethical obligation--to create a shadow-government health department that dispenses medically accurate information, guidance, and advice.
