The BlueSky team is so thoughtful about what patterns to adopt and what patterns to create themselves. This is the way.

Wow, Hotel Reverie was right up there with San Junipero. Nice little Junipero easter egg there at the end. Probably the most Twilight Zone of all Black Mirror episodes so far. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

That first episode of Black Mirror this season was too much. :(

Companion was a great movie! Sort of an elongated Black Mirror episode with a good sense of humor and a firm grip on what’s already starting to happen in the world.

Beware of the term "founding designer". It's usually a marketing term designed to get great designers to feel the prestige of being a founder without actually getting paid like one. If you take a job like this, insist on significant equity (i.e. not fractions of a percent).

A great post from @genmon.fyi about running a marathon for the first time. I've always wondered how exactly the body deals with these things. I've run 13 miles on a whim with no food, water, or training, and then a week later bonked after a half hour. Mysteries... interconnected.org/home/2025/04...

If you’re looking for great popcorn with a little speed bump, this alpine chili Pacific Popcorn is great. Burns the mouth just the right amount on the way in.

“There is nothing inevitable about the future. You have to build it.” Hope everyone enjoys today’s major Copilot updates. Vision, in particular, is really fun. 🕶️

Great opportunity. Help BlueSky continue to embody what Twitter should have always aspired to.

Wrote a little piece about how AI is changing the job market for designers. Something similar happened in 1995, and there is a clear way through it if you stay curious. mikeindustries.com/blog/archive...

Somebody should make a coffee-flavored breakfast ice cream that contains 100mg of caffeine, 25g of protein, and very little sugar. Would eat. /cc: @unlikelywords.bsky.social
