I’ve started reading Kaufman‘s book today and even though I’m still in the prologue, it has changed my mindset on how I approach trauma, and every day life

Design is no longer disruptive. Can we find the spark again? Why the work, users and Designers are feeling so stale in 2025.

Just wrote my first Medium Article about the state of Design and if is it Dead? It's not, but we have lost our way. #ux #design #productdesign #technology

Look. Verify public entities on the backend. But hide the badge on the front. This was mocked on the other platform before. Users hated it after a while because you never understood why somebody had a blue check versus someone who didn’t.

Verification for all - yes?
Blue check for all - no?

For any woman on #bumble when to block a man in your feed, bumble doesn’t actually block them. They are lying to consumers, not respecting the word “NO” and basically tried to lay the blame for their shady biz practices.

This year the analysts are noticing a shift that tips this historical norm on its head. High turnover is resulting in Dem/Liberal wins.

Let us be patient and see how this turns out.

Quick observation. Elon musk is notoriously ANTI-Union. He has fought unionization in the US & is fighting worker rights in Germany. Then you have Trump who has made his mission to bring manufacturing back to the US. - they WILL apply the DOGE playbook to @uaw.org, the #iwu + others. Just watch.

I served the people, not the president as US Attorney. That's the oath. That's the job. That's why you don't put people who haven't worked at the Justice Department in charge of the Department, or people who haven't worked at the FBI in charge of the FBI.

DOGE Claims It Has Saved Billions. See Where. — The Wall Street Journal A WSJ analysis of government data found that many claims of savings were overstated and ‘woke’ cuts were only a tiny fraction of the total

BILLIONS SAVED!!! Well… looks like DOGE has a little problem with basic math skills. $16B to $7B, actually cut - with a quarter of that money’s contracts already paid out. 🤔

has someone told @realgdt.bsky.social ?

@emilyliu.me i would love to connect w you about how blindly and news can be integrated. I’m in media tech and always looking for the next ux that bring people and information together.

if the social internet is migrating from closed platforms → open networks that put users in control... then for every content format that exists on a closed platform now (microblogging/X, photos/instagram, forums/reddit, etc), you'd expect to see an open version of that app take off

💭 mini thread

I haven’t had that occur (yet). I have a private profile so I’m wondering if that makes a difference.

Just posted a first book recommendation!

I am currently rereading my late friend Anne Rice’s work. Yet, I would recommend a book in fiction - Practical Demonkeeping by @theauthorguy.bsky.social.

A bit off the beaten path, it reflects the abstract absurdness vibe of now. And we all need a good laugh right now despite of it.

Congratulations 🤪🥳

This is what it means to lead. It’s not about how many followers you have ~ it’s about doing what everyone else dreams they were brave enough to do. #beawolf
