Do y'all like having icons that indicate a link is external vs. internal?
A list of links. The last one has an arrow icon after it, indicating its an external link.

That's a feature, not a bug!
A message on the Google Workspace "downgrade plan" screen that says "You will lose access to Gemini in Workspace apps, Gemini Pro, and NotebookLM Pro"

Curious if y'all like the +/x or rotating arrowhead better for details/summary component icons...
A details/summary component with an arrowhead before the text. It points to the text when closed, and points down when open. A details/summary component with icons before the text. There's a + symbol when the component is closed, and an X icon when it's open.

Do you like your alert/callout text to match the background color, or be a more contrast-friendly black?

(screenshots attached)
Two alerts. The top one has a light yellow background with black text. The bottom one has a light yellow background with dark yellow text.

PPK thinks it’s OK to call Japanese people “japs” because of WW2.

A tweet from PPK that reads: “ Without the bombs my father, who was then imprisoned in a Jap camp on Java, might have died, so I have ample reason to cheer the bombs.”

Hey Massachusetts friends: Marcus Vaughn has been appointed to a special committee on youth sports. He’s also the sponsor of an anti-trans youth sports bill.

Call the number tomorrow and tell them Marcus is a dangerous pick for this role.

My hori-hori knife, the ultimate gardening tool!
A gardening knife. It has a wooden handle and a black blade. One side is serated, while the other is flat. It has inch markers on the blade, and a twine cutting knotch neard the hilt.
