Dear Americans, your war effort is below the civilized world. You're been lied to. www.linkedin.com/posts/ed-con... #Trump #trumplies

It's a disgrace each day

Tech people are like: Current Browser version: 10.0.0.3 Your version: 6.2.3.0 (and 52 tabs open) Please update 🙏

Oh look, Paul is confused... again.

✅️Note to self to not fly to the States.

Of course the traitor will kiss the Russian ass. They are making plans to get ucranian resources. Shame on all Americans for allowing this shit.

A traitor to humanity. All the administration are traitors to humanity. Disgusting people.

Wait until you get to Manager 🤣

Portuguese editorial cartoonist Zez Vaz reaches back to Tiananmen Square to call on American defiance.

I mean... common! How can this be? How can Americans elect a complete idiot? A convicted sex offender, millionaire. How low does your IQ need to be to fall for this?

Pirate ships had written codes, elected captains and quartermasters, and fair loot distribution. Captains led in battle, but crews made major decisions. Quartermasters checked the captain’s power, and crews could depose captains. cutlefish.substack.com/p/tbm-337-pi... @johncutle.fish

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

After a week of meetings and stress, it's fantastic to get up, run, and smell the fresh air.

It's working great. The best ever.

It's time to go back to individual, free-from-oligarchy websites. It's never been easier. Buy your domain, create a website in seconds, boom 💥 do what you want, it's your space.

This looks like the kind of stuff we see when using a theme editor for WordPress or Joomla.

If this happens, I'll start migrating everything from Google to other products. Idiocy has limits.

Ingenious research by @dorsaamir.bsky.social & @chazfirestone.bsky.social suggests (well frankly it really *convincingly shows* 😎) that the Müller-Lyer illusion is not culturally determined, but rooted deep within us (and not even optical): https://buff.ly/40PxEOL TL;DR:🧵 https://buff.ly/40PsQJ2

If justice must be impartial, how come there are judges from Democrats or Republicans?

The United States of Ignorance.

The new white house website looks like a lousy teaser for an action movie.

To keep up with design, this is a great site: sidebar.io just 5 links a day, all the great stuff 👇

The worst thing about running in the rain is the shafting. Even with protection and Vaseline, you end up with shafts here and there.

So today, one of the company colleagues said she didn't understand how people deal with letting their pet on their own for a full working day before remote work. Times have changed for sure. I feel it is more complex and more challenging for managers.

There is a remarkable similarity between elite marathon runners and effective investors—a parallel in how they cultivate and realize resilience: https://buff.ly/4hmeq8F

Race day today. I did my second-best time at the half marathon. A lot of rain, cold around 8°C and windy. High 1:24h strava.app.link/Di7xz9BWhQb #running #beatyesterday

I was on Twitter, which turned into a graveyard of great people. Jumping into Threads, Zuck lost it and showed who he was again. If this social network fails, I'm moving to a cave.
