It is absolutely fucking wild that the future of a fundamental constitutional freedom hinges on what some guy said on a podcast.

Replace caring about politics with caring about fantasy football. It’s a lot more fun and just as important to the future of our country.

It also strikes me that the Cracker Barrel logo has always featured both a cracker and a barrel. Sometimes a literal design is the best course.

Further proof that “woke” and “DEI” just mean “something I don’t like”: the new Cracker Barrel logo.

Athlete brand logos are some of the worst design on the planet. You can’t cram two initials, your number, and whatever nickname or aesthetic into a mark and it not just be hilariously bad.
It’s always fun to see what kind of shit they force out. The Caitlin Clark logo is perfectly fine.

My favorite is when the Wordle bot lets me know that guessing the answer would have been more efficient.

I think the American Story from here on out will be that Republican administrations enjoy unlimited executive power while Democratic administrations are constantly crippled by checks and balances.

Struggling to care about politics.
This is all from like a 52% majority. The rest of them are supposed to be defending us from this shit. But there has been no meaningful response.
Which leads me to believe that this is either all fundraising hysteria or that no one was ever intending to help.

I’m also convinced that Apple’s entire business focus at this point is growing the size of iOS so you’ll have to upgrade your perfectly good phone.

I paid off my house today.
I feel incredibly proud, relieved, and like I’ve escaped just in time.
But also a bit sad that I’m maybe in the last generation that will get to experience this through long, deliberate work and not financial scheming or generational wealth.

I kindof love the Harbor Freight and Amazonification of tools and electronics. American corporations shipped all their manufacturing overseas and now you can buy their stuff without involving them at all.

The protests just seem sad to me. We did bigger and better eight years ago and what exactly did that accomplish?
You have a leader who can’t be re-elected and doesn’t care about public opinion.
And 500-something people who could stop most of it at any time.

My tech job is increasingly leaning toward an AI-driven experience, and it’s a real bummer to witness the internet’s destruction from the driver’s seat. Design is fundamentally about empathy and the web’s underlying promise is allowing humans to share info and experiences about this life on earth.

Also paying $45bn and then walking in with a sink so you can tweet “let that sink in” is a saddest thing I have ever seen.
I thought “for sale: baby shoes, never worn” was the most succinct that sadness could be, but Elon did it in 4 words instead of 6.

@epmcool.bsky.social show note about not paying taxes: it’s important to note who can and who cannot actually do this. People who pay quaterlies—business owners, entrepreneurs, contractors—can protest pretty easily. Wage workers effectively cannot.

I’ve worked in a few situations where an outside consultant who purports to know more about your job than you comes in and makes everyone prove their value.
It has never improved our output or efficiency and has ended catastrophically each time.

Republican lunatics and small government types haven’t been adequately sold on the value of public programs.
Foreign aid shores up world stability and ensures we have some sway in inching things toward the values we profess.
It’s so much cheaper than war.

I worked on a USAID project once. It was a tech incubator for Ugandan, Rwandan, and Kenyan girls, many of whom have no hope of economic mobility or even what we would consider a humane existence on this planet. It was inspiring work and cool to see the positive impact the US can have on the world.
