Oh good, happy to help!

Funny, literally thinking about this phrase this morning. Was trying to figure out what to affix it to if not a guitar.

Duh. A laptop.

I might be misunderstanding your question but this is in every macOS menu since 1984. If you go to File and see Get Info (cmd-I) then you can hold down a modifier key and see Show Inspector (cmd-opt-I).

Context menus too, like Open turning into Always Open With…

Insider trading is a real problem in congress, I agree.

But the extreme amount of bipartisan alignment here speaks volumes. There have been plenty of other opportunities for them to team up and make trades on other issues.

Can’t think of bills that survived a SCOTUS challenge 9-0 though.

It’s also possible that the 9-0 case hinged on the actual risk of the CCP having a direction connection to the algorithm animating our culture, politics, and opinions on things like Gaza, Ukraine, Taiwan, etc.

Rather than “all 9, even the progressive ones who never agree with the GOP are greedy.”

The key detail is how unlike us this is. We don’t have date nights. We are homebodies. We’re frugal and not spontaneous. We haven’t been on a trip by ourselves in 17 years, since having kids.

It was our favourite trip and party of all time. The perfect (insane) yolo day trip. So glad we did it.

And it's not public yet, but I have this working for myself! Every time I post on a service, my script slurps it down, saves it to my own DB, and I get a copy of it forever. Super helpful for a) making a search for all your creations across the net b) dealing with sites disappearing

Pretty good, pretty good. Talked to my son for a long time about the pros and cons of Kendrick Lamar and Tyler, the Creator albums

Want to find the gardens? Want to help out? Start with @erlend.sh and @spritelyinst.bsky.social and spiral out from there. The rewilding is happening, you just won't find out about in the skyscrapers.

there are also more gardens than I've ever seen before.

Even if the internet is 99% corporate and 1% weird, 2024's internet is bigger so the 1% is bigger. Now is way more creator-friendly, way more networked, way easier to accept payment or find your tribe than ever. (cont)

If you agree with @mariafarrell.bsky.social when she says we need to Rewild the Internet, as I do, these are some of the "gardens" that are growing in the shadows of the big corporate skyscrapers.

Maria and I chatted a bit about this. The skyscrapers are bigger than ever ... but (cont)

It's not that I'm against doing it right. I'm just against fighting every single little battle. I believe in perspective.

So that's why people thought my name was Jo. But it's fine. "Everything is copy," as Nora Ephron always said. In the end it all worked out, and I got this story out of it! <3

Did I want my very first order of business to fight for a new email address? Putting me out of commission for five days? Should I go for quality and long term thinking if it meant a short term loss to my team?

And that's why I stuck with jobell@microsoft.com.

But, like, my name is jonbell. I said "Ohh... hey, any way I can get jonbell instead of jobell?"

"Oh... yeah. We can... it's just that a name change usually takes like 5 business days..." they looked at me expectantly.

There wasn't a right or wrong answer, per se. They got it. I got it. Hm.

So I understand slow. I went in reminding myself "don't make waves, don't think you're in a nimble design agency."

So I was in my first meeting with leadership on my first day and my manager told me my email address: jobell@microsoft.com.

Logically, it makes sense. First two chars, last name.

I haven’t followed the tour very closely so I don’t know the standouts. Therefore I’m gonna just pick a random city.

LA!
