These are all so solid, thanks!

Thank you!

In the latest version of Chrome, they call it “Third-party sign-in”, and it can be found at chrome://settings/content/federatedIdentityApi

One of the most annoying “features” in Chrome is presuming signing in with Google is what I’d want, and in some cases (such as Dribbble) actively hiding the Log In button I want to hit. Today I’d finally been fed up enough and decided to figure out how to turn this off.

I try to avoid using “Sign in with Google” (or any other identify service) because the thought of having to migrate these sign-ins if I ever want or need to switch providers is a huge pain.

If you ever want humility as a UX designer, try to introduce a 3-year-old to MS Paint and the concept of using a mouse at the same time

Looks like a fun collection of Odd Jobs I wouldn't mind doing!

Started playing The Globe by Big Audio Dynamite for my kid as a bathroom hype song, and telling her the guy is saying “Come on and dim the lights (It’s potty time!)”

The Hitman games have been some of my most played the last few years, and I just can’t wait to play IO Interactive’s take on James Bond. 2026 feels so far away

If you're building to learn or have fun, that's great!

But if you're building to be profitable, and efficient, you have to solve for 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵.

Which means a different sort of “building,” and a lot of activities besides building.

Figma leaving functionality out (like nested conditional interactions) always makes me wonder if they were doing it to keep the design straightforward, due to technical limitations, or resource constraints. Because I’d be a lot happier to have that than a website builder…

It’s been like a hundred years and I’m still not tired of the party parrot

Stripes was originally pitched as Cheech & Chong Join the Army 😮

The David Lynch Collection A rare look behind the red curtain of one of the most influential artists of our time: Julien’s & TCM Presents: The David Lynch Collection. Almost...

If I had cash to spare, I’d bid on David Lynch’s piece of the Berlin Wall.

Jimmi Simpson is underrated.

My Dove chocolates keep telling me “Your evolution looks good on you” and that’s just a weird thing to say to somebody

Bleed American is a sometimes album, and in those times, it’s S-tier

This is a terrific list, thank you!

I’m in that phase of missing what little social interaction I got on Facebook, Threads, and Instagram. BlueSky is like a ghost town for me

I have an “Ideas” folder in the notes on my phone, and every so often I look through. I just found a note that simply reads “The Steely Van Halen Brothers”

Had a dream last night that I was a touring musician with Radiohead. Thom Yorke was like “Walter, we really want you to weigh in on which songs we play and how we transition between them. What do you think of this reverb?” and I was talking them into adding atmospheric radio static. It was great

Marge Simpson looking extremely stressed out and watching the television with the text “Pass me another hunk of co-pilot” layered over. Reference from the fear of flying episode where she’s watching the movie Alive about the Andes Mountain Plane Crash

I’m working on an “AI Co-pilot” and keep thinking of this. Almost tossed it into tomorrow’s presentation deck but held off

Shout out to the devs at Amazon that named one of their attribute values "Chewbacca" so it shows up in the URL parameters.

Is there a directory somewhere of all the YouTube channels, Skillshare classes, and private courses put out by creative professionals?

A Quantum Breakthrough Just Proved Teleportation Is Real—And Unlocked the Most Powerful Internet Yet In a groundbreaking experiment three decades in the making, scientists teleported a particle over 18 miles.

This seems like pretty big news www.popularmechanics.com/science/a646...

Can't be overstated how fucked up it is that Black folk came up with a word to express people being aware of the oppression of other people and it's now targeted by far right governments globally as something evil that must be destroyed

Nowadays the Config stuff that gets me excited is when they fix broken stuff and improve on old stuff, not introduce new stuff
