Hi I’m the UI designer of Outlook 365. The “flag email as important” and “delete email” buttons are six pixels away from one another because I hate myself and my job and I’m taking it out on you, the consumer. Enjoy your 365 experience and remember: I hate you.

Got hipped to this clip via TikTok. Prophetic stuff from the ‘79 film Rancho Deluxe. “It is a sickness here worse than alcohol or dope. It is the pickup truck death.”

Really great story map of the problem of Ross Island Lagoon and the seasonal cyanobacteria blooms in #Portland. The Human Access Project is spearheading efforts to raise funds to fix the problem, but it was decades in the making.

Good reporting on an entirely predictable problem. Fun fact: Airbnb also covers up thousands of sexual assaults every year! Its internal safety team has "cool-down rooms" to take a break from the trauma of what they hear. It's a bad company, a bad industry, and people should just stay in hotels.

Made a batch of these over the weekend. If you find yourself in inner SE ping me and I’ll bring you a couple. Came out a bit soft but delicious. I’ll eat a couple in your honor regardless.

So the more I see of this, the more I respect it. The Cybertruck is so unrelentingly and singularly absurd that the only sane aesthetic response is to heap yet more absurdity on top. This exudes a level of "you're locked in here with me" energy that you don't often get the opportunity to witness.

Have we tried turning the NYT off, then back on again? If I recall, sometimes on these older devices it’s a good idea to wait 30 seconds for the RAM to fully clear.

We're on like the 4th consecutive empty tech cycle - "big data" then "crypto/blockchain" then "metaverse" now "A.I." - while a huge technological revolution that will change our entire economy in the form of solar energy and grid storage happens basically unnoticed in the background.

Newsletter: Goldman Sachs has called BS on Generative AI, and I believe that it's time that everybody follows suit - generative AI is unreliable, unsustainable, requires an entire rebuild of America's power grid, and is most decidedly not the future.

As a person who works in public sector IT, my response to these weekend requests is always, “Is there a life or property safety risk?” No? Then put a pin in it and call me first thing Monday.

Portland OR. It was a one off department team buildy thing. Fun though. I was quite chuffed that I a) did not injure myself b) actually hit the ball a couple of times. There are a bunch of teams in the area. Intel, OHSU, etc.

At this point, I think we keep this on the down low. Trying to keep housing prices down. No one not already living here needs to know it's perfectly lovely and not the smoking hellhole that outsiders portray it as.

Under all the nuttiness, I often found them to be lyrically the most earnest and personal of those Two-Tone Era bands. Just some goofs making skankin beats while getting in touch with their feelings of helplessness around girls and memories of growing up hardscrabble.

Mutual aid is a way to fight against the despair and helplessness that seems to suffuse the very air. Its a way to take autonomy and control in situations where those things are trying to be stripped away. Here is a very good primer on where one might begin if interested.

Gregg has to ggo. That’s just how national soccer works. But the question remains: what next for this group? Ostensibly the best collection of football talent the US has produced in anyone’s lifetime. Where do the goals and the spine to win hard games come from if not from them?

I suppose there’s a universe where the #USMNT ekes out a gutsy 1-1, 1-0 game to go through. But in this stub we’re either getting blown away or it’s going to be some sort of ridiculous six or seven goal affair where last goal wins.
