I have never in my entire design career been given the latitude to suck as hard as AI does at basic visuals.
It's wild that the same companies that will belittle humans over the wrong shades of blue will also just say, "YOLO, post it" when the magical mediocrity bot makes things.

One of the more profound lessons I learned during my time teaching was how cruel and senseless our immigration system is.
I am absolutely aghast to read that someone had those same experiences, saw that same heartbreak, and then refers to those kids and families as "collaterals". Fucking monster.

Boiled peanuts (generally, though they're reasonably popular in some places) but specifically boiled peanuts from a roadside stand that says P-NUTS, off a 45mph state road in the south, served up from a vat of liquid of mysterious origin and age. Those bad boys hit like nothing else.

We're just going to keep having pilot projects like this until capitalism eventually falls. Giving houses to the homeless is cheaper than anything else. Giving people healthcare is cheaper than not. Giving people basic income is cheaper than not. Taking care of society is financially prudent.
A program in Flint, MI, gave $1,500 to any/all pregnant people and $500/month for the first year of their infant’s life.
Among the benefits, those babies experienced lower rates of prematurity and low birth weight, which resulted in fewer NICU admissions, saving the city of Flint $6.2 million/year.

It's been nice seeing other designers react positively to this. I appreciate knowing my peers agree on this front.
management hates to see me coming with:
-There are no design emergencies
-it's just an app, calm down
