Rome, unhurried A second trip in less than two years to the eternal city, this time without an agenda or any sites to see.

Here’s a little photo essay I wrote about my trip to Rome last year.

Seeing how this administration repurposes things that already exist (USDS: US Digital Service ➡️ US DOGE Service), is 18F now a fighter jet?

Infographic telling Ring customers they can get refunds for their purchases through Amazon

People on Reddit are getting Amazon to refund their Ring products because of their partnership with Flock and that creepy Super Bowl ad

When a sitting representative refers to the Super Bowl halftime show as “pornography,” people should use that to reflect on how they and other representatives are simultaneously working to ban, censor, and restrict “pornography” and what that actually means

@yoni.social I have some bad news

Speaking of sports and music, Kid Rock also had a song from his rap days titled “Balls in your mouth.”

Incredible opportunity right here

Fuck it, let’s make a smart monocle

From Airbnb to the White House: Joe Gebbia is reshaping the government in Trump’s image The president decimated the U.S. government’s digital design agencies and replaced them with a personal propaganda czar.

This entire article is excellent with plenty of quotes from people I’ve worked with directly and admire.

A great criticism of National Design Studio, Gebbia, and what design and aesthetics actually mean as critical services are actively dismantled.

The Wall Looks Permanent Until It Falls On the optimism of preparation in a time of democratic decay.

Several people I know have used the word "beautiful" for this piece, and that's exactly right. A beautifully phrased essay on the bind we're in— until we aren't.

Recommended, in an extreme way.

Honestly can’t think of any other way to travel. Is it comfortable? Yeah. But nothing worse than getting sick when taking a trip you’ve already invested so much into. Also, just being sick away from home really sucks.

New: we've obtained material explaining how an ICE surveillance system, called Webloc, works. Draw shape on a map, see all phones available there, follow them home. All without warrant

What I really want is 'text-transform: studly-caps'.

This is really good and goes into superb detail on something I’ve been thinking about a lot. As we design and develop digital products, our UX solutions should include assistive technology, because UX is not limited to the cursor.

I implore you to hit up CVS and get your flu shot. Please don’t game it with whatever else you heard. It’s real serious and we don’t gave any public health allies in the government now.

i don't know what to do about a system where people in power believe the antisemitic CSAM generator is too important of a platform to leave because the worst pundits on earth think the platform signals something about free speech

We will either end fossil fuel dependency and the predatory extractivist basis of global production, or they will end us through wars and ecological collapse - all at the same time.

So many come to mind:

Beastie Boys - “Sabotage”
Busta Rhymes - “Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See”
Dinosaur Jr - “Feel the Pain”
Missy Elliot - “The Rain (Supa Dupa Fly)”
Nirvana - “Smells Like Teen Spirit”
Wax - “Southern California”

This is what they took from us.

A person makes a rude gesture Google recently integrated Gemini into its Home products, including its Nest cameras to provide detailed descriptions. So being the mature person that I am, I gave it the finger. Then I got creeped ou...

I don’t think I like Gemini getting crammed into security cameras. jaredcunha.com/blog/a-perso...

A couple albums that blew mind the first time I heard them:

Refused - The Shape of Punk to Come

At the Drive-In - Relationship of Command

Avail - Over the James

Murder City Devils - In Name and Blood

The National - Boxer

Nirvana - In Utero

To get there, head north on Donald Trump Avenue and take the Donald Trump expressway just over the Donald Trump Bridge. Park in the Donald Trump Garage. Enjoy dinner overlooking the Donald Trump River at Donald Trump Restaurant before watching the Donald Trump Orchestra in Donald Trump Hall.

Sending my heart out to my trans friends and followers today. You are seen and you are loved.

I was going to say something about that. Those classes stuck out to me as well!
