Used Paypal for something and it drew from my bank account to pay. The line item in my bank's register says the account is still BusinessLogs. What. Every account setting in PP says it's Studio VO (which it should be). So odd.

Good cover.

Apps that have a dark mode, but a startup screen of blinding white.

uhh.... given how fast the back patio is filling with rain water... I'm calling this a #pdxtst event.

No, you have the Silverhawks theme song stuck in your head.

If I go to the settings of a blog post in Squarespace, then into the Categories... What is the Categories view for? That's right: applying a category to a blog post. By which I mean: NO YOU IDIOT, IT'S FOR DELETING CATEGORIES. Why would you want to apply a category? Duh.

Bullet Time for microscopes.

ohno

How about very tiny polar bears?

Totally agree, but still think this would have been funny: bsky.app/profile/matt...

The hardest of passes. Why? I wouldn't trust them to not search DMs. "Give me a sentiment analysis on my leadership capability."

Tuesday vibes

The number of leads has been on the rise over the past month. They show up excited to get the work done and then ... ghost. Every single one.

Turns out, if you have some carrots and spices you can make a curried carrot sauce pretty easily.

Having lived in Brockway, Ogdenville, and North Haverbrook, I can safely say that Portland has the highest percentage fickle and follow-through-averse people. They go from "I'M SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS" to "_has left the chat_" so quickly.

Newsletter... away! If you want to subscribe, it comes every 2 weeks and I try to keep it short.

Interrupting Cow rule.

Same.

I am very happy not being the same as this ... Whatever it is.

Hopefully malicious compliance.

Every moment in your life is one which you can become a better person. Every moment is an opportunity to help others...if you are strong enough. Related/unrelated:

Keep in mind: I've long been against this title-argument claptrap. (Though I stand by thinking the Shopify example is plain dum. Not even dumb with a b! dum. That's how dum it is.)

Product Design = Feature Design. Same for Product Management. Y'all design tiny parts of a whole that often never forms a whole.

Today on Will He End The Day With Fewer Tabs Open Than What He Started With... EXT. OFFICE BUILDING — DAY NARRATOR (voice over): No. CREDITS ROLL

Is it because not enough people put alt text on their text-heavy images? Am I dunking correctly, @anildash.com?

Yes, capitalism sucks monkey balls but seriously, if there's an artist you dig, somebody making you move your brain, your ass, or your heart...BUY THEIR STUFF. Keep them from getting so tired that all they can do is give you regurgitainment. That shit's bad for the arteries. Life in co-survival.

you have been kidnapped and a character from the last tv show you watched is trying to rescue you who is coming to save you
