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.

We stayed at an Airbnb with a massive gas leak and the owner kept blaming the previous occupants for making "ethnic food". We ended up calling the gas company, which found 3 major leaks while we were packing up to escape. The way Airbnb handled it we couldn't leave an honest review

when people are expressing anger and disappointment because an artist whose work they really liked turned out to be a creep it's a cool move to make sure everyone knows you never liked that artist's work in the first place, always remind people that you're better than them when they are feeling low

third itch-scratchin' game world of warcraft on a private WOTLK 3.3.5 server is certainly not a diablo-like but it sure does scratch a whole bunch of itches once you get all the proper addons of course plus it means I can make characters like this belf priest and this gnome with the classic name

I only know of the Johnny Cash cover of "I'm on Fire", huh! I know Spingsteen's version of "Fire" is technically a cover since he originally wrote it for Elvis but gave it to Robert Gordon after Elvis' death; the Pointer Sisters' producer gave it to them a yr later and yeah siouxsie's wheel rules

the Bobs will always be my favorite a cappella group, a new wave quartet w/fun originals & covers. when they did "strawberry fields" live they'd simply turn around in place for the coda
can't find the track online so here's an arrangement they made of an obituary

the Art of Noise chops up samples of all kinds & makes insane new wave/electronica stew out of them. they got Tom Jones to do vocals for a Prince cover. was brilliant. the AoN mix is the one I knew best cause I had that best-of compilation on tape. good driving music

Etta James was an absolute legend, a funk stepper-onner of incredible talent and groove, and her gender-swapped Tom Jones cover makes one lyrical concession ("Baby, take off your mess") but it works, it works so damn much, Etta gives everyone reason to live

"Girls Just Want To Have Fun" was first written & recorded by Robert Hazard, whose male perspective is 1/2 condemnation of girls who won't settle down & 1/2 celebration of them
cyndi lauper took it, gender-swapped it, & turned it into a full-on anthem of empowerment

Max Raabe turns pop and hip-hop into Berlin cabaret when he's not doing Kurt Weill and other German standards; he does two brilliant Britney Spears covers and a great Tom Jones, but his Salt-n-Pepa turn triumphs
