The year is 2040 and a generation is reading a tech history book, scratching their heads at why anyone gave af about a blue check next to their name.

As badly as I want to blame officials or some other reason, Golden State Warriors beat our Sacramento Kings fair and square. Was a heck of a series and ready to do some beaming next season 💜🏀 #NBAPlayoffs

Ever the continuing con-artist, Elizabeth Holmes trying to sway to the court of public opinion that she didn't steal $700M.

Going from product designer to designer/developer hybrid is weird after you get someone else's Figma file to code up and you're like "OK, interesting design... any wiggle room on the margins, headings, overall layout..."😅

I totally support Netflix' decision to crackdown on password theft, I mean sharing. Folks throwing tantrums about it is silly. The company spends $17B /yr on content. You can pay the min $6.99.

Perhaps I'm out of touch, but I think the idea that wearables and voice AI will replace iPhones is misguided for a handful of reason I can't fit into a single tweet.

Love Jimmy Butler and the Heat, but Jokic and the Nuggets earned this thing all season long and into the post season. The dude is a damn force.

I understand why companies ask you to disable ad blockers, I get it you've got to make money. For me, once the ads were so pervasive across sites wherein the reading experience became untenable, I felt compelled to block or not use the site at all.

Twitter's ability to thrive is at least in part connected to Musk's unwillingness to exit his own platform. #Threads, #Bluesky, #Mastadon, etc. People are using them as an alternative to Elon Musk, not an alternative to Twitter.

Lol Elon claiming #Threads manipulates what people see while demanding you pay his subscription or else nobody will see your tweets. That's also manipulation, bro.

This customer shaming UX pattern aggravates me so badly lol I decided not to buy this product because instead of "No Thanks" they say "...I Don't like discounts" Never word your micro-copy in a way that it speaks for your customer negatively. Bite
