As someone who works on the interaction layer of software: it's this.
Stupid trends in hardware self correct after a generation or two, but *software* ratchets in the direction of unusable because designers are occupied with interaction patterns and not whether the fucking thing works properly.

i think it's useful to look at areas where the *tech* has gotten much better while tech *interactions* have gotten way worse. streaming has gotten worse, google search has gotten worse, digital cameras are leaps better. apple's silicone is so good it's threatening their user upgrade cycle
it’s so weird to look around and realize like, tech and media are materially worse than a decade ago

Please give me an unironic list of things that have gotten better over the last ten years because I’m spiraling.

The Burmese word for a fox, မြေခွေး, means “earth dog.” One of the Irish words for a fox, madra rua, means “red-haired dog.” The Navajo word mąʼii łitsooí means “yellow coyote.” And the South Estonian language Võro has, amongst others, the word sorrõhand. It means “fluent tail.”

Private Eye is one of those institutions that I have real difficulties with sometimes. Do I wish them gone? No. Do I wish them unchanged? Also no
Bookworm is definitely one of their value-free bits though

This looks great, especially if like me, your Roman Empire is...the Roman Empire.
I can't quite believe I'm saying this but: I wrote a book! And it's being published this May!
It's about Rome, its enduring appeal, the many different ways it has been interpreted, and how understanding this helps us see both the past and the world today more clearly.
