I haven't followed NBA for a long time, but it seems wild that the DEN-OKC game is 106-72 and it's only the third quarter. So many points these days. For the Nuggets fans out there, I hope it gets closer before the end.

The Justice Department spent the weekend defying a federal court, and this morning Trump and his top officials revealed that they will defy the Supreme Court, refusing to take ANY steps to bring Kilmar Abrego Garcia back from El Salvador. We have passed the point of crisis: slate.com/news-and-pol...

This is a very consequential week for the survival of constitutional democratic government in the US. 👀

Aaron Olson (Aon) speaking about nontraditional learning and career pathways: "One person's 'alternative' is another person's lived experience. One person's 'traditional' is another person's unobtainable or inaccessible or inappropriate." #TalentForward

Now they have an automated voice read the announcement that not everybody's carry-on will fit in the overhead bins. I wonder (from my vantage point in carry-on-free basic economy) if it makes people less likely to direct their anger at the actual humans at the desk.

It’s nice how they’ve replicated the middle school dynamic of the insecure bully and his sniveling sidekick picking on someone surrounded by a circle of scared little boys who also try to talk shit so the bully doesn’t come after them.

Or as the right calls it, “masculinity.”

Trump has always been unfit to step into the Oval Office. Have you ever seen a worse art of the deal go down than this?

The tech industry has been really painful since 2020, with round after round of layoffs affecting people's teams and friends. It sucks, but it's not surprising that the callous layoff is the element of the tech industry that Musk is bringing to the rest of America's vital services.

As Facebook lays off it's "low performers", does anybody know if the guy who spent a billion dollars on VR meetings with no legs made it through?

Eugene-Springfield and Spokane are the only housing markets in the Pacific Coast states that are at or above pre-pandemic inventory. Eugene's a nice place to live. www.fastcompany.com/91276002/hou...

Donald Trump blaming this horrific plane crash on "DEI" before any investigation and then handing off to two former reality TV stars and a former Fox weekend host he nominated for high positions is the vibe of this era. Is anyone on the right capable of seeing this incongruity? What stops them?

The time to switch to a four day work week is now, as the efficiency gains from AI tech is starting to be realized. If it all doesn't make workers' lives easier, it's not worth all that much. My small company is in. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/j... #4DayWorkWeek

www.nytimes.com/2025/01/18/t... I never even used TikTok, but this guy looks like an ass saying nobody who counts is disappointed about its ban and is protesting it. Did you see what they did to young people protesting genocide last year?

It's a little sad to see all the TikTok content creators saying goodbye to what they had built there.

Snowboarded all day with no falls and then slipped on ice in the parking lot when walking back to the car. Oops, that last run when you're tired always gets ya!

It feels like we might be able to rebuild a lot of the social media community we had ten or fifteen years ago here. That's nice. People have really missed it.

So much of culture has been negative and conflicted the last decade. If we can break from that, I think it's by making spaces that are fun.

United Airlines' digital product teams are doing great the last few years. The timely useful notifications, like your connecting gate and time estimate for how long it takes to get there, no notes. Across app, notifications, and in flight entertainment display, it's really well done.

Whenever a barista asks me if I want my cappuccino "wet" or "dry", I immediately begin to suspect it's going to be a bad cappuccino.
