Recently I have noticed that the work I have to do (meetings, writing emails, documentation, reading up, etc.) - to do the work I was hired to do as a designer has skyrocketed. It has come to the point that I wonder what I am even doing here. #designsky

I am afraid that there a less idiotic wannabee dictator out there, who is taking notes and learning from the current whitehouse admin. And when it is his (always a him) time, he won’t make the mistakes DT en Elon are making. This is a trial run people. Prepare yourself.

Hey Bluesky. I need advice. I drive a Telsa model Y and it is a good car for our family. I bought it last year. I loath all that Elon and DT are doing and have a lot of mixed feelings on owning my Tesla. Selling it would cost me more than €10K. What should I do?

Studio Ghibli has given my life so much joy, wonder and profound life experiences. To be shameless exploited by a bunch of tech bros to sell their failing product, is beyond words. F chatgtp. (I love Jim Henson, the Simpsons and pixar too, but Ghibli is personal)

Nothing says ‘you are not important to us’ more than using Microsoft allowing the existence of Powerpoint in 2025.

I was thinking of going to the US this year. I think I will wait a bit.

“We have to show up” … yep.
