Someone I know who's in a fragile mental state post-breakup shared how they're using ChatGPT to work through it.

Their approach sounded dubious.

I suggested at least trying mental health specific AI bots, none of which I have tried, so not sure how good they are. What would you do?

The Stanford d.school Celebrations felt like the non-fiction @meowwolf.com of design, a high compliment coming from me. So much polish, participation, and whimsey! I had a great time. #dschool2025 #creativeessentials dschool.stanford.edu/2025-celebra...

For the record, this event was fantastic. @cindygallop.bsky.social really knows how to critique a system and build her way to the much better thing. What a pleasure to sit across from her as she delivered her message

Omg... I'm loosing it over this website of 1940s tax assessment photos of all NYC buildings. The map, zooming function, and colorization are so fun! 1940s.nyc

I knew Columbia University benefited greatly from owning the land under Rockefeller Center. It's news to me that Cooper Union also has a similarly lux Manhattan real estate situation...

Mucking around in tide pools is a lot more fun with the Seek app by @inaturalist.bsky.social. Found these that I might not have noticed otherwise: Common Coraline, Eastern Oyster Driller, unidentified crab.

On this official form to register interest in acquiring a NYC metro card vending machine, I will be answering "Yes, but realistically cannot." So glad that's an option.

The machines will be phased out by end of the year. 🥺

Yup, this is my experience of @kagi.com too. When I accidentally end up on google these days, I'm like "What the hell is this ugly trash heap?!?!" daringfireball.net/2025/04/try_...

Happy to be part of London Experience Week. I had a great time at the WXO summit in New York last year. It's really meaningful for us experience designers to have a gung ho, energetic professional organization pulling us all in. londonexperienceweek.com

I'm the opening talk for this learning culture festival. It's hybrid, so you can join us! April 4th online... controltoculture.com

Promotional material is in Portuguese as the IRL part is in Brazil, but much of the program will be in English.
