Being great on camera and knowing how to tell a story on video are truly a communication super power these days.
Copy writing and visual communication are also super important! But a good video can get to other people like text and static images/design cannot.
Especially in the mobile era.

Anyone trying the beta of Digg?
It's incredibly sluggish...
For post page which is 99% static content it loads...
*checks notes*

I knew this was a crappy Next app even before looking at the source.

So that's why Youtube is so desperate and trying to force feed shorts on everyone
Overall social media use is declining.
Between 2020 and 2024, more Americans — especially the youngest (18–24) and oldest (65+) — report using no social media at all.
A small group of heavy users remains, but the middle is thinning out.

I was today years old when I learned JS arrays are, in fact, objects.
Indexes are actually converted to strings internally.

Huge news for Juilliard ... as in, no one told Juilliard, so it's huge news to them.

Ky is the best JS HTTP client as far as I'm concerned
