Britt Sighs

I haven’t seen anyone say this yet but…
We’re two super bowls in a row with no white man on the half time stage anywhere.
Trump’s America eradicated the white man from the Super Bowl half time show. I ain’t mad 🤷🏻‍♀️

I really need literally any friend that mildly cares or has interest in cars, the tech, the industry, the history.
Sigh.

Anyway, Bo has been out of town and I got to race my little automotive lover heart out.

I also watched ‘F1: The Movie’ on Saturday and it also RULES SO HARD!!

I watched ‘Ford v Ferrari’ and sobbed my dumb little eyes out.
THAT MOVIE RULES SO HARD!!

oh, it's me.

Like I don't want Google to utilize my content/messaging, so you're taking away the features implemented months/years ago and labeling them "smart features"????

Am I misunderstanding this? BC I DO want a promo tab and a primary tab!

Am I understanding this correctly...
In Gmail, they added the Primary/Social tabs and auto split emails. They added grammar/spelling assistance, predictive sentence text.
But now that they want to read our emails, these are considered "smart features" and are turned off when opting out of the rest?

Ugh and at some point I have to tell the whole team and how in the hell will I get through THAT?

I am not built for capitalism or profits.

I told the first role yesterday and did not make it through without getting emotional.
I tell the second roles' folks today and have basically been crying about it since yesterday.

These seven people are so much apart of why this account is successful but in lieu of better budget margins, we have to "lower costs somewhere." Nevermind the risk it puts the rest of the team in and our current quality of work.

For as much as this admin and country are hootin' and hollerin' about "Immigrants taking American jobs," you'd think we'd have stronger feelings about American companies outsourcing roles originally employed by Americans.
I'm losing seven people on my 20ish person team bc we're offshoring the roles

I was just told I have/am experiencing Runner’s Knee.
Now if only I ran… ever.

omg to listen to 'As the Eternal Cowboy' from Against Me! and feel all the heart warms.
I haven't listened to the album in full in a while and boy its making today better.

I am so glad I am at a point in my career where I do not have to pretend I know Google Analytics.
I didn't know it then, I no longer have to even want to know it now.

For the last 2-3 years I've bitched about Spotify's Wrapped, and every year for the last 2-3 years I said I'm going to finally break up with the platform and put my money where my mouth is.
Sooo. Watch me do it again this year and maybe this year I'll actually break up.

You know what should be my number 1 song for the last week? Something on Lorde's new album bc I've played that probably close to 11 times in the last week.

Like, watch this song be in my Top 5 songs for Wrapped even though I had not heard it until last week.
I don't understand how Spotify's data can be so messed up when it owns its own data and play structure? It's own algorithms?

I play a lot of Spotify mixes and sometimes the DJ.
The DJ just said it's playing my number 1 some the last week with 11 plays -
Bro.
IF it has 11 plays it is because Spotify played it 11 times.
I didn't even know Spanish Love Songs had new music out until last week. I explored it no further.

2. PLEASE LET ME PIN MY FAVORITE EMOJIS AND STOP MOVING THE RECENT EMOJIS AROUND

I use the same ~10 emojis almost daily. Just let me keep them anchored in one spot.

Two things I need from Apple:

1. Fix your spellcheck function. If I type 'decomission', you should be able to tell me it is supposed to be 'decommission.' Google can do it. Google can always correct spelling that you cannot figure out.

I listened to Lily Allen's new album in detail today and WOOF I am glad I am not David Harbour nor Madeline.

At this point it has to be a point of pride for late night hosts to have the President call for you to be fired, right?
Like they probably have FOMO if they've missed out on their wrath bc does it mean they're not being funny enough?

If anyone is drawing qualitative data from bluesky about the general sentiment of the administration during this government shut down, mine is:
This is so obviously not the democrats fault bc it's also abundantly clear they're not even trying to negotiate.
AGAIN FOR EXISTING SUBSIDIES?!

lol which leads to more tax spending when people are cared for without insurance. Inefficiency in the government at its finest. Where's Doge now?

And he's choosing to compound this issue because anyone being let go may have to go into the Open Market where... the health insurance rates will be higher/maybe inaccessible and more people lose their insurance.

And then to choose to actively punish the citizens by demanding mass layoffs to "get back" at the democrats, who... again... are only fighting to keep EXISTING subsidies that will help millions keep their healthcare.

It's believably shitty that the Trump Admin is keeping the government shut down over the fact that they really really want millions of Americans to lose their healthcare or see insane rate hikes.
Like bro. The subsidies already exist, we extended your tax plan, why can't you extend the subsidies?

Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado wins 2025 Nobel Peace Prize Venezuela's opposition leader María Corina Machado has won this year's Nobel Peace Prize for her tireless work promoting democratic rights for the people of Venezuela.

I have never been so pleased to see the recipient of a Nobel Prize. Seriously feared that someone would be dumb enough/bribed enough, to give it to freaking Tr**p.
