If sandwich guy wins, somebody should make a statue of him throwing a sandwich at one of the confederate statues.

Brad Lander for Governor would complete the ultimate one two punch New Yorkers need right now!

Growing up before the internet meant finding ways to entertain yourself to avoid boredom. I remember just making up new alphabets in school. How could I design a better alphabet with the sounds I have to make every day to form words?

I don’t even refer to my cats as females. They are ladies, thank you very much. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛

Congratulations to all who fought for it and the present and future artists of all sorts in Ireland. That includes me 👌We’re just comin to the end of a 3 year pilot scheme. It’s been a roaring success. For every €1 paid out to the 2000 participants, the government got €1.46 back. Can’t argue with that. Other countries are already taking note."

From yesterday and today: it certainly appears ICE in Chicago are wearing the Meta AI Ray-Ban glasses.

Horrific to hear that Charlie Kirk was shot today in Utah. Political violence must be always and totally rejected. Praying for him and all who may have been injured or impacted.

Here’s a Shocking Idea: Democrats Don’t All Have to Sound Alike Four candidates in wildly different races show the value of being yourself.

"Spanberger and Mamdani are at opposite ends of the Democratic ideological spectrum." Good. Diversity in a political party is good!

The wall is designed to filter out women and children, so only highly motivated, athletic young men can get into the US illegally. Right?

Trump's splotchy hand and swollen ankles raise new questions about Joe Biden's health.

MTA NYC Subways need numbered exits and wayfinding like the Paris Metro, so maps apps can direct you to Exit 5 for 4th ave and 14th St NW corner, Etc.

A Responsibility to the Industry

It’s crazy that Alan Dye had no experience with UI before being thrust into a position of power over platform design, affecting millions of apps. He has a responsibility to the industry. Platform design should be way more comprehensive and far less restrictive than this.

This @today.yougov.com poll is why I'm going to become the Joker.

The US murder rate in 2024 was likely down nearly 30 percent relative to 2020 and down nearly 50 percent relative to 1990.
