The entry points keep getting patched up, and more agonizing busywork is pushed onto Senior talent, who will eventually burn out on this cycle. There will be no one left who knows what they're doing well enough to babysit the AI.

A few weeks ago, an intern candidate expressed that she was worried about how powerful AI tools are getting. I told her that I've been a designer for over 20 years, and I've seen every "career killer" come and go, so as long as you're a human designing for humans, you should be okay.

But, damn...

Figma just made a move that changes who gets hired in tech — TheStreet The first rung of the career ladder is disappearing

God, this is so depressing. What do I even say to budding designers when they ask how to break into the industry? "You have to make yourself more valuable than someone with 15 years of experience and Claude?"

Screenshot from my DDR game summary: Songs played: 11 Notes hit: 10,395 Time spent: 47 minutes, 34 seconds

A song result page showing a 90.27% accuracy on a song with nearly 1700 steps. I kept my combo going until nearly the end, where I hit a string of 6 misses, and 8 notes outside of the combo timing window, but I recovered and finished out the song

Hit 10,000 notes tonight. My graphs are improving, and I actually got my heart rate up to 150 tonight!

I'm focusing on my fitness because I've had a few hikes recently that felt way harder than I expected them to be, which sucked.

But I'm also working on losing the 15lbs I regained in the last year. Aiming for losing a total of 30lbs. I'm already down 4.

I'm starting to unlock more intermediate workouts in Fitness Boxing, and I'm also regaining some of my DDR stamina. I just sent for a quick walk, and an 18-minute pace felt like light work. I almost felt like I could run.

Pretty happy with my fitness gains in just two weeks.

things woud go fucking crazy if me and an open minded woman got up to some bisexual Shit

There have been so many times when I would have appreciated a "What the fuck, man" infinitely more than a whispered, "If you need me to talk to HR, I'd be happy to"

Don't get me wrong, being willing to stick up for me in an HR case is good, but a "WTF, Man" might stop it from escalating to that.

Don't underestimate the power of a "what the fuck, man". The status quo depends on the silence of bystanders.

Between this and poking my head into the MyBoyfriendIsAI subreddit, I've seen far too many very sad souls shattered by isolating themselves in favor of a sycophantic robot today. 🥺

I also didn't like how they obfuscated the price of the meals behind points and credits. It made ordering way more stressful than it had to be, and made it nearly impossible to compare how much I could make the same meal for if I bought the ingredients at the grocery store.

Yes, I'm trying to get a refund from them. I'm going to be so pissed if all they offer is a credit. I already canceled my subscription.

Cool. I signed up for HungryRoot, and it's the worst food delivery service I've tried. The first box was discounted, but still too expensive for what I got (which was all uninspiring), and my second box arrived a day late and didn't keep food-safe temp, so it's all wasted. 🤦‍♀️

Not applying, but this line spoke to me: "You have a love-hate relationship with auto layout and enjoy pushing it to its absolute limits."

I want to root for the left coast here, especially since California has excellent wine, and a ton of great breweries... But Wisconsin definitely beats us when it comes to actually *drinking*

Got some real cuties here. A Western Bluebird, a Redwing Blackbird, and an American Kestrel

I just love how cats can fully fit onto pillows that humans use for their head.

Hell yeah! I love the wellness account!

Game industry letdown lines

Are you out of scope? 'cause you look like a creep.

(I don't know how to do pickup lines. I'm fully spec'ed into rejection)

Man. Remember back when game companies were doing so much cool shit that we had to remind people to not idolize them?

The image is a meme with three panels, using a scene from a movie to humorously convey a conversation about prosecuting people associated with the Epstein files. 1. Top Panel: Shows two characters, with the left one facing the camera and the right one seen from behind. The text reads: "prosecute everyone in the Epstein files." 2. Middle Panel: Features a close-up of the right character facing the camera. The text states: "if we prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, the whole system will collapse." 3. Bottom Panel: The left character is in focus, looking at the right character, with the text: "I already said prosecute everyone in the Epstein files, you don't need to sell it to me."

My first outing with a 200-600mm lens was a great success!

A selfie of me and my partner, Dalton, at sunset at a bird sanctuary. We're both holding our cameras in-frame to show that we both have large super-telephoto lenses to take pictures of birds.

Warning: I got a big ol' bird lens, so my account is, naturally, about birds now.

In the last year, I've gone from, "ehh. He's our best shot right now, and look at everything he's done for LGBTQIA" to, "Holy fuck. He only signed any of that legislation because it's popular in California. He would be a disaster at the national level"

He's truly so two-faced, it gives me whiplash.

Stockton isn't known for its dining or views, but getting the right table on the patio of this one particular restaurant is nice

369? Damn, she fine.

This is literally what the song 99 Luftballons is about.
