I would never say I support this because the American federal government is targeting anyone and everyone here because we are a dying imperialist country adopting fascism as a coping mechanism. But I will say 👀🔥

I did not out Digital Arcana in March but am working on it for April! Partly because I sent two emails in February, but mostly because I overextended myself this month. Keep a look out in early April!

Sorry I joined the meeting late, my son (cat) and I were busy (looking at the birds)

"If you play games to be entertained you're not a real gamer" Motherfucker if I want to do something tedious and unfulfilling I'll get a second job; at least then I'll get paid for my trouble.

“Hmm, I wonder how AI works”

Every day I am humbled by my own poorly made decisions, planning and overall ignorance It’s hard to imagine what it’s like to go through life without being aware of that with humility Maybe I’d be able to be president.

NEW: Wikipedia has banned AI-generated content.

Everyone should go give their cat a kiss on the head

I am going to start blocking people posting AI generated pets pretending they’re real. It makes me so unreasonably angry, it feels so gross and misleading.

“Bc of vibe coding we have a new role between design and engineer” Just me aggressively sharing my own writing again “They define a designer as ‘anyone who creates a prototype in order to design, regardless of job title.’” uxdesign.cc/designing-wi...

I’m willing to bet this CEO just wants to use this absurd statement to advertise Perplexity. fortune.com/2026/03/24/p...

Most of the AI slop getting posted rn really is a reminder that Gen AI doesn’t make a crappy idea any better. It’s like watching someone spray paint a turd

I’m pretty sure automatic flushing toilets are designed to humiliate me. Why must it flush repeatedly while I’m still going?? We should have known the folly of automated design even then

Before you design for this, two things to keep in mind: Very few people in the overall population are using anything beyond conversational LLMs Those who use LLMs for more than this rarely trust the LLM to execute higher risk actions So this is an edge case and likely will remain as such.

An organization that teaches people about fantasy books that aren’t Harry Potter

learning what "vibe coding" is sure did eliminate my impostor syndrome. like at least i know what my code does

Evidence that I was right and the city’s LLM phone tree was wrong. Damnit now I have to write an article about this damn LLM ruining government services

The Onion is here to stay. It is going to disrupt everything. We are living in the The Onion era. How are you using The Onion to turbocharge your productivity? Your answer will affect your annual performance evaluations.

Someone left a comment on a comment of mine yesterday that said they approved of the comment but not of my blue hair. Like excuse me this is BLUEsky damn 💅

Most of the time now I feel I have to be numb to the horrible things happening in my country. Numb enough to see it and know it without falling apart. Not so numb as to ignore it, to do everything in my power to stop it. But then some days I feel it all, and it hollows me out, like today.

I have heard a similar sentiment at a conference recently, AI (i.e. LLMs) are "a new user group" apparently? It's very weird to me, a bike lane is not designed literally for the bike but for people to get where they are going safely.

Incredible scene: Travelers wait on hours-long security line at George Bush International Airport in Houston while Lee Greenwood’s “God Bless the USA” blasts through the speakers. (video shared directly with me)

In most professional spaces now it feels like a liminal time and sadly quite lonely. AI this and that. AI co-opted by the executive bunch and design leaders too. I wrote some thoughts on this about this a bit of you are interested in digging further.. collectivefutures.blog/identity-loss/

I looked at LinkedIn (I know what a bummer) and saw people thought leading about how now we’re designing for humans and AI. I don’t have enough characters available on this platform to explain how quickly this point falls apart. But I’ll just say that if you stick to just humans the AI will follow

I had to get another MRI, they asked if I wanted to listen to music. They asked me to pick a genre on Pandora, I picked 70s hits. I get pulled back into the machine and the song starts playing “IF YA WANT MY BODY AND YOU THINK IM SEXY CMON SUGAR LET ME KNOW” Cue me cackling in the metal tube

again I point out how strange it is that high-level diplomatic negotiations of war and peace are being conducted by freelancers Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, both of whom have egregious conflicts of interest, and not the actual secretary of state

I can confirm that people who are already exhausted and scared of going through TSA and flying right now, people who have just been told to wait in a line for 4+ hours, are absolutely furious to see ICE agents—a stark reminder of who exactly is to blame for this situation

You know what I’m talking about. bell.bz/wait-it-out/

Reject the pull of hype and rage cycles, protect your attention Read a book, bake a tasty treat, go on a little walk, snuggle a cat or dog I believe in you

I think one reason folks like Sinners more than One Battle After Another is it is just far more joyful, soulful, and mythic. I think that is a characteristic of a story that sticks with us.

the human body was not designed to know what the worst person in the world is doing every fifteen minutes

Trump could have sent any number of groups to the airports to help TSA. He chose ICE for a reason! Because it’s another opportunity for them to kidnap people! Airports are a great place to find people! You think ICE quotas are gonna disappear at airports??

Work is a social relationship. We create things together. This is especially true of UX design. AI's value proposition is freedom from relationships. So when designers champion AI tools, we are not making ourselves layoff-proof. We are reinforcing a system that frames us as unnecessary friction.

I’ve asked myself many times what else I’d do with my life outside of being a designer. Unfortunately, it would seem I am very much meant to be a designer. But beyond that I still have dreams of writing fantasy stories. I have a whole book in my mind ready to write but no time

i’ve always said the generally hellish experience of going through TSA would be improved by bringing in other federal agents with no understanding of airports who love to shoot people

My partner and I have a really big problem with bookstores We go in and stay there searching through the shelves for hours and leaves with bundles of books. The problem of course is we are running out of room for books.

AFP: “French prosecutors said Saturday they had alerted US authorities to a suspicion that tech tycoon Elon Musk had encouraged the controversy over sexualised deepfakes on X to "artificially" increase the value of his company.”

Imagine the guy who discovers hentai through the NYPost.

100% sure did not happen and musk is just making up stories to self victimize about as usual.

Most players will go for the canonical cleric build for their Jesus but this is a noob trap. If you spec Jesus as a melee fighter, you can block the Crucifixion with a perfectly timed parry

Oh I see it wasn’t “no more wars” it was “no,more wars!” Thanks for clearing it up Mr president

AI has realized its true purpose: Cocomelon for Divorced Dads

I know this will come across as extreme but I think private equities maybe should be illegal

“I may not understand their lifestyle but I support them in their choices” - me seeing people in their giant barrel jeans

I was gonna make a joke like “Who is Allen and why did he get a wrench” But then I looked it up and Allen was an actual guy so it would just look like I didn’t do my research Phew dodged that bullet

Why the hell are we actively making our products worse? This defeats the entire purpose of SEO, which was Google's major value prop. That if you used the right words, it would show up in the right contexts. www.theverge.com/tech/896490/...
