Okay, and now what about the bees?

If you are having trouble staffing a job which requires generalists skilled in practical psychology AND technical fundamentals AND systems thinking … who can get up to speed quickly in a new domain and have strong ethics … there are a lot of restless UX designers out there.

So weird to be living on the set of a reality show

I realize I have a big enough account I don't want to shitpost about unconfirmed events without context so I deleted my joke about not wanting to leave the house for tacos But I think we can all agree it's a bad time to be someone with massive pre-existing anxiety about leaving the house in DC

the fact that commercial airline pilots are just like me is both comforting and very not comforting

Beginning to think the cure for my burnout isn't starting more projects

I'm happy to announce I've had my first marriage on my tamodachi island and it is between Link and Frieren. Guillermo and Waluigi are also newly in a relationship. Big day for love all around.

Tipping exists because of this man....George Pullman. He revolutionized transportation by inventing "the sleeping car," which is essentially the "1st class" of train travel. But the true innovation was who he chose to hire
