Fact: It is my birthday. Fact: I run a free+ad-free newsletter about keeping tech/UX design accountable, called Product Picnic. Conclusion: legally, you have to subscribe to it. The word of the birthday boy is law!

No one sells it here so I just made my own pistachio fluff salad. I was going to take a picture of it but realized it just looks like green slime so you'll have to take my word for it that it's good.

I don't plan on becoming apathetic or anything, but I also don't feel like we're ever going to be able to, just like, rollback all of the bad that is happening this year.

Zohran: Imagine living in a city where you can afford your rent, your groceries and even a meal at a restaurant now and then without much stress Eric Adams: Imagine a platypus so powerful that it could destroy the city. We need more cops

Pretty sure the Verizon FiOS cables melted during the heatwave because our connection has been so spotty the last couple days.

One thing that makes me proud to have voted for Mamdani is that in the primary his campaign stayed on message the entire time, because there actually was a message! That felt tangible! It wasn't just people posting Brat memes or completely taken over by talking about how awful the "other side" was.

I can put my hand outside the door today and it doesn't feel like sticking it in an oven, so that's nice.

on ZOHRAN's logo see, this is what you will never, ever get from "AI." it can't be done. never will be done. it has to be human.

I know it's because you want to share your thoughts on the worst people in the world that are on twitter from the safety of Bluesky, but I'm begging you all to leave those people to rot over there. Thankful for that labeller that catches most (though not all) Twitter screenshots.

Brad Lander is an anomaly in that he cares about causes that are bigger than his own ego. He’s exactly the type of person we need in politics.

All the news folks struggling to explain how Zohran won when it's literally that he talked to voters and wants to address their actual issues like affording to, you know, live.

They're never going to let us do ranked choice voting again if Mamdani wins this. It brought us entirely too much joy either way.

I’m sorry but as tech practitioners of all forms we should be advocating for regulating AI. It’s extremely dangerous to perpetuate the already nightmarish levels of disinformation online. It is against the interests of all humanity to allow that.

Money for bombs and all of the overhead associated with that (soldiers, infrastructure, materials, planning, time, etc) but not enough to help people who are trapped outdoors in this heat and constantly pushed from having a rest in any form of shelter, even our train stations.

an Andrew Cuomo scandal many seem to have forgotten about: as governor, Cuomo told the people of upstate NY town Hoosick Falls that their water was safe to drink… …while the Obama admin was warning Cuomo that their water was polluted with cancer-causing chemicals
