Is joie de vivre a real thing? Yesterday gave me a glimpse.

A Spaniard guiding an oblivious American through a city with a backpacking German recently in tow walk into a bar.

hearty laughs had filled the room, recs made (and taken!), and a sorrow "ciao" to end.

I wished for the day not to come.

Tell me why the USPS should be defunct?

Two products, both beating private competitors on cost.

While at a scale unseen by all private couriers combined.

Why can’t private couriers offer anything other than regulatory capture?

Media mail: $6
Prepaid: $18

Across the country.

we need to export freedom to the Bay Area by way of actual unhealthy food (Bojangles, Cookout, Waffle House) and tatte from Boston.

the analogues here don't hit at all. It's embarrassing.

. @empowa.bsky.social’s Art x Tech event is something to experience. An incredible ego-less space of presenters bringing their personal (non-commercial!) projects to the maxes.

So fire.

With Carney’s ascension to a full term as PM, let’s see what happens when we put a true economist, and not a politician, at the helm.

Fair play @hatethegamebook.com!

What a great conversation that brought the whimsy of Econ back to the top of mind… oh how I can’t wait to leverage my training again :)

NEW: The move to funnel $15 million for sexual assault survivors through a GOP-controlled commission is part of a pattern by the state’s Republican-controlled Legislature and judiciary to deprive elected Democrats of resources and powers.

By @dougbockclark.bsky.social
A Political Power Grab Redirected Funds for North Carolina’s Sexual Abuse Survivors. Women in Crisis Paid the Price.
The move, which led to disruptions in services for sexual assault and domestic violence survivors, provides a glimpse of the consequences when a branch of government assumes unprecedented control.

AppleScript has to be the most jank OS automation tool in the business right now. I'm sure there's better alternatives but wow, it breaks until you have a magic run button click incantation that it happily executes and succeeds :)

"Efficiency" means better output over costs. That's not the same as simply reducing costs.

Say you have a system that's 100 output for 10 cost.

Taking it to 110 output for 8 cost -- that's efficiency.

Taking it to 20 output for 5 cost is INEFFICIENT cost cutting.

Presence is such an importance piece of the puzzle when building experiences that are meant to be collaborative by nature even if done independently.

2025.

Another year of expanding our frontier to cover new ground.

Excited to get into more “good trouble,” make more incredible friends, and strengthen ties with existing ones.

We’re building better stories.
