Nobody tells you how comfortable you must become dealing with other people‘s bodily fluids as a parent.

I’m 3 for 3 today in cleaning up emissions from all orifices. 🫠

Hearing unconfirmed rumors that Hollywood has already optioned the story of the Signal leak. Michael Bay in talks to direct it. 👊🇺🇸🔥

This country is about to get a painful and enduring lesson in the principle of Chesterton’s Fence.

So the guy who ran a campaign on “things are too expensive for Americans” is about to make everything a lot more expensive for Americans… 🤔

Been fighting for 2 mos & counting... If I gave up, or hadn't documented contract terms & trade-in process, that'd be $1000 gone & free money for Verizon. Instead, I get to follow-up repeatedly to get them to honor their own contract.

Feels like a war of attrition is baked into the business model.

Never ceases to amaze me how much effort is required to get companies to stick to their contractual promises. Health insurance is an obvious extreme example, but it's everywhere. I traded in a phone to Verizon and they just zeroed out my $1000 credit. No explanation.

I'm approaching the start of another lap around the sun (aka my birthday). I've never been big on celebrating myself, but I'd love to hear how others have celebrated their birthdays in meaningful ways.

Any traditions, activities, ways of giving back, etc?

The contrast really highlights how much of a downgrade that change was on X. Loving the links & knowledge sharing here.

As usual, a fascinating and educational thread. What I *really* want to know, however, is how you source images for your posts?! You always have such great visual aides — do you keep a library somewhere or just compile per thread?! 🤔

The best notebook brand imo. Love it.

I immediately heard the Bluey theme song in my head.

Three mule deer in a forest, with two staring directly at the camera while standing broadside.

Owl spotting 🦉 with some bonus wildlife.

First time I’ve seen a great horned owl in the wild.

ah Squarespace... how do I hate thee? let me count the ways...

Google Domains really decided to pour salt into the wounds of their registrar shut-down by partnering with Squarespace

Thanks! I’ll update it!

Every company should include the ability to disavow emails, i.e. report as incorrect & unsubscribe, in their user flow by default.

The amount of misdirected emails I get w/ strangers’ data is nuts. And mostly from no-reply emails. 🤦‍♂️

Thank you for coming to my TED talk. 🎤

I’d like to thank my children for helping me realize this achievement. My toddlers are so obsessed with “Welcome to New York” that when their preschool classmates voted on which song to walk to for “graduation”, my kids persuaded the whole class to choose it. 😂

Top 0.05% globally. NBD 💅

Tsunami warning in the Bay Area due to an offshore earthquake! 🌊

Coulda sworn there was a “free” in there, but deep seems appropriate.

Feels like the fun early days again.

Awesome! If you know of folks I’ve missed, tag them below!

How? Please show me your ways!

No. I refuse. 😜

Will do, buddy.

I wish you could turn Starter Packs into Lists here. I don’t always want to follow everyone but adding starter packs to lists for curated feeds would be clutch.

Should have done it years ago when it first launched.

Were you at Matrix? 😉

I might actually know the architect who designed that. 😂 not sure what that says.
