As if the job market wasn’t bad enough right now. Great article by @laurengoode.bsky.social for @wired.com that’ll have you shaking your head wondering why some people are such assholes. www.wired.com/story/parano...

Loving Figma Buzz. This is going to help the relationship between designers and content/marketing teams immensely. #config2025

Wow, Figma Sites is way more of a direct attack on Webflow and Framer than I initially expected. Definitely interested, but cautiously optimistic that Figma doesn't bungle the pricing model for the future "add-on fees for bandwidth, hosting, and domains." #config2025

Thought I missed the start of the broadcast, then quickly remembered that not every company is as punctual and organized as Apple 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ #config2025

The Americans just don't get it, until that tangerine idiot is gone, we aren't coming, we're selling up, crashing your housing and tourism market, go fvck yourselves. www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Loved watching FP1 today on @f1tv at 480p. It is a shame though that we're paying for a 4K stream and with a 5-Gbit dedicated fiber line it's still not enough internets to get to 4K. Maybe, if I get a second 5-Gbit line and run them together it'll at least give me 720p. /s 🫩 #MiamiGP #F1

Excited for a big weekend in #Miami for the #MiamiGP. Congrats to Max Verstappen on the birth of his daughter, Lily. Fingers crossed he will be distracted thinking about his family and we'll get another McLaren win. 😈 #F1

I am not pleased by qualifying today. Missed opportunities, bizarre handling, a lot of unbalanced cars, and FIA decisions that leave me shaking my head (as usual). Nice to see Oscar on pole and Gasley absolutely ripping it though. #F1 #BahrainGP

Looking forward to a big weekend in Suzuka. Hoping for a great showing from Yuki Tsunoda! #JapaneseGP #F1

Can someone give Jacques Villeneuve a fake mic so he thinks he's commentating but nobody can actually hear him? #JapaneseGP #F1

Someone definitely just hit the "Publish All" button after a day of "Watches and Wonders" coverage. You good @hodinkee? 😂🤦🏻‍♂️

How is it that #ThePitt is both the best and worst show at the same time? My goodness E13 was something else. I need to lay down, I have no emotions left. The Emmy's need to create a new category for "Best in Anxiety Creation" and hand deliver the award to every cast member.

Really enjoying the Live Activities notifications in the Apple Sports app with the addition of #F1 for the 2025 season.

My favorite part with each season of #DrivetoSurvive is how slick Christian Horner thinks he sounds but how much of an absolute prick he actually is. And you just know he's desperate to be on camera.

#Severance and #ThePitt watched b2b is a really good recipe for instant anxiety. Why do I do this to myself? 😂😬

I cannot wait for this!

we should always appreciate designers who make seamless tiling packages

That felt like the "Death of Bond" rather than an "Appreciation of" montage. I am so incredibly disappointed with Amazon taking creative control of the franchise. #Oscars

I'm still so grumpy that Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross got shafted for Challengers. This opening with Wicked is just making me more angry of that fact. #Oscars

Oh yeah, definitely “lucky” but can you really be surprised when Nancy Pelosi has been doing the same thing forever? They’re all crooks.

Since #SNL50, I've been watching a lot of old concert footage of #Nirvana. I would pay good money to see Post Malone do a full tour with Krist, Dave, and Pat Smear.

I’m so incredibly proud of #Canada for last night’s win over the US during the #FourNations tournament. As a Canadian living in the US, it was a much needed reprieve from the barrage of disrespectful comments I see on a daily basis towards Canadians, purely due to Trump’s nonsense. #TeamCanada

I'm assuming the next Bond will be Glen Powell as a Texan with a southern drawl, and the next film will be written and directed by Taylor Sheridan full of US military references and all about that cowboy lifestyle and charm. 🤦🏻‍♂️😞

Your outie doesn’t get discouraged by automated rejection emails to roles they are qualified for.

As soon as Humane began to pivot to an AI device due to dreadful battery testing, I said immediately that they were had to push "something" out the door since they had taken on so much capital. They had to push for an exit to recoup losses and satisfy investors. Looks like HP took the bait.

Uh oh, I think Valtteri brought the extended pit stop with him from Sauba back to Mercedes. #F175

If MGK walking out first for #F175 is a preview of what we can expect for the 2025 season, I might just save my money on a subscription or attending any events. My god, I thought @eminem murdered him?

I really thought that the #SNL50 episode would end up being a miss by trying to throw in too many cameos, but I think it ended up being really well done. It was a great mixture between new and old, I liked it a lot. Congrats @saturdaynightlive.bsky.social and here's to another 50yrs!

Well done to Team USA tonight; they came to play the game and Canada came to play the first period. #FourNations #TeamCanada

Canada looks like they’ve played 3 games today, they’re absolutely gassed. #FourNations #TeamCanada

I want to point out that I’m extremely proud of Canadians for consistently *not* booing the US nation anthem over the years. But this is different: the US came after Canada, and Canadians will stand united. #FourNations #TeamCanada

Apparently PK Subban thinks he’s Don Cherry with that jacket 😂🤦🏻‍♂️ #FourNations #TeamCanada

Really enjoying @jonnoble.bsky.social being part of the @wearetherace.bsky.social team. I'm appreciating both his written and video formats. Excited to see the reporting throughout the 2025 season and beyond. youtu.be/rvVnoV4nuS0?...
