there’s something very cyberpunk about eating by yourself at a noodle bar on a rainy night in vancouver

the pitch: it’s giphy, but it has every single tim robinson scene

charisma is the one thing all the angry little nerds can’t build and can’t buy no matter how rich they get or how much of society they destroy and I just think that’s beautiful

When the guy we love the most meets the guy we hate the most, what can they do but shake hands and smile at this crazy world

chipotle has gotten so expensive they should ask what we’re celebrating tonight

This photo of rookie Yesavage casually walking off the mound as future Hall of Famer and helmet-less Ohtani is still in motion striking out is everything. #WantItAll

We’ve progressed from watching the baseball game to being held hostage by the baseball game.

Kirk needs to be a Jay for life

this ump is either too inept to ump little league, or blatantly fixing the game

I know a lot of people talk about "Ken Griffey's swing", "John Olerud's swing" but for my money there is nothing more beautiful than Alejandro Kirk: - 5'7 and built like a Welsh corgi - basically drops halfway into a splits on each swing - each swing is a Street Fighter "Shooooryuken" uppercut

BLUE JAYS!!! VLADDY IS STRONGER THAN THE LEAF JERSEY CURSE!!!

aws outages should be like a snow day for tech workers

I say this with pure hater energy, but is there anything more performative than post-marathon runners meandering through the city all afternoon? Like, what do you want, a medal? Oh wait you already have one. I thought you were all doing this for yourselves? You can go home now, good job

every "life-changing" productivity system is just: - write things down - look at what you wrote - do those things we've reinvented the todo list 47 times

wildly unnecessary loss

not pointing fingers but there were a whoooole lotta people actin wild like this wasn’t a toronto sports team

every time the yankees do something good

a fun thing about the nhl preseason is that nothing good can happen for your team but horrifically bad things can happen to your players

People will obsessively research all the boring pointless nerdy details about whatever a groyper is but when I recommend the complexity of deep space nine they say they dont have time for it

Pa-pa-pa-par-fait, Pa-pa-pa-par-fait, It’s a Roy-roy-roy-roy-roy-al treeeeat

wet leg was so good they even made a toronto crowd dance

Color lovers, I've got a new tool for you to convert, generate and explore OKLCH colors: oklch.fyi/ I like being able to tweak a whole color ramp, adapting chroma to make it more or less vibrant.

I made a sweet mashup of snake+tetris on Gizmo gizmo.party/p/GIRMAGo7RY...

Instead of Liquid Glass, Apple should have gone with a waterdrop effect Put a small droplet of water on your phone screen to see the difference: instead of warping the background & pulling it in, a waterdrop just bends the image at the edges. It’s less complicated of an effect & better for a11y

the new netflix interface is doodoo

the guy from Cake, reaching total enlightenment He’s knowing existence

arguably the job of design is to come up with creative ways of exhausting the space of mistakes, and doing it on the cheap

I've been trying to articulate why the fawning, complimentary responses from AI chatbots feel so insidious to me. I've finally figured out how to explain it. Wrote a long piece on how current model training and design choices threaten our critical thinking skills: maggieappleton.com/ai-enlighten...

We don’t have an opposition party. We have two parties who feed at the same donor trough. They nudge each other to get a higher percentage of the slop, but they’re here to eat. You are not part of the equation.

Donald Trump just unilaterally bombed Iran. A masked gang is terrorizing our streets. America has rapidly devolved into an authoritarian state. That's why, today, The Onion has purchased a full page ad in today's New York Times with a simple plea to Congress: Sit back and do absolutely nothing.

Happy Father’s Day

instead of pomodoros just listen to 45:33 while you work then take a lil break & do it again

The internet is *literally called the internet* because it’s meant to be a network of networks. It’s not supposed to be one giant network that sucks up all the people. It’s broken-brained to think of one platform vs another. “Why McDonald’s is doomed since Red Lobster exists.” Please.
