Genuinely hate. Even when I’d see those guys in parades, I’d think β€œnobody should respect these adults.”

The worst thing about learning how to use AI tools as a designer is that the β€œshould designers code” question got answered for us by the dumbest fucks alive.

"artificial information" is an exciting new euphemism for lying

I can't deal with any more posts about AI "unlocking creativity" that are just people messing around with the tools.

Got absolutely roasted this weekend for the fact that I use olive oil when I’m cooking breakfast food.

Experience Design is about finding the gaps in intent Rather than fighting over vertical ownership, design has the unique opportunity to embrace a horizontal model of decision-making.

Is there a better metaphor for UX design than the fenced-in unicorn?

Wrote this for work so it's a *little* cringe but it's my earnest advice to designers trying to fight PMs for "ownership" of decision-making. There is another (better) way.

AWS would rather blame engineers than AI opinion: Protect the robot, sacrifice the human

Amazon would rather blame its own engineers than its AI

The new Converge record might be a clunker, but I’ve been rewatching Avatar: The Last Airbender and that still rocks at least.

There’s ten songs, and six of those are great, but the four that drag REALLY drag (we get it- you guys like Neurosis). Placing several meandering, uninspired sludge trudges in between the ragers kills their momentum and dulls the whole presentation.

Ben Koller’s still a GOAT drummer though.

I wish I could get onboard with the new Converge record, but WOOF. This is, like, the third mixed bag in a row from a band that used to churn out scorchers.

i think it would be very funny if after 3 different conclusive ends to evangelion the actual end of evangelion is this new series getting canceled halfway through its run

Two men trudging towards a NYC subway station lit by a large storefront light. The ground is covered in about 5-6 inches of snow and rising due to the ferocious blizzard of snow filling the night air.

The snow is coming in sideways. I’m so happy.
