Snapped a quick picture of my dog sleeping, as one does, and accidentally got something that looks like a dang renaissance painting.

I am not convinced that Trump is healthy enough to last his term and somehow President JD Vance is even more terrifying than our current situation.

@reckless.bsky.social in a very hipster coffee shop that I would definitely not expect to have a light up party speaker, but there it is.

The planet is burning. Tech CEOs: 🦗 AI server farms are overheating. Tech CEOs: We will solve fusion.

Imagine trying to explain to Gen Z that hard cuts used to be bad and the advice was to avoid them when making videos at all costs.

This is the best single sentence description of what it’s like to be a product manager that I’ve ever seen.

Insurance rep: What is the age of your roof? Me: Not sure. Rep: Guess. And remember, if you guess wrong, that’s insurance fraud.

My dad has Parkinson’s and dementia and lives in a Medicaid facility that will have its funding slashed because the fear factor host made men who drink a lot of protein scared of democrats.

Poured a little coffee into my plain Icelandic yogurt and saw god.

Assume everyone is using Granola in every meeting now. It runs locally on your Mac. No one else in the meeting knows it’s there but the person using it. You’re being recorded in every single work conversation, even when you think you aren’t. If you don’t want it recorded, don’t say it. 🤐🤫

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 11/06/2025

I guess I just wasn’t made for these times.

Spend $100 on dog toys or just let one fly into the house.

This took six months. Honestly I’m stunned it lasted so long.

I bought a shirt with a V that’s like a centimeter deeper than I’m used to and I feel so exposed. I’m so sorry if you see me. I’m not normally like this.

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 17/05/2025

George took real shots from the original trilogy and covered them in CG. They should do the opposite to Rogue One. Drop CG Tarkin and Leia, use the original shots of the actors’ actual faces, and re-release the film as Rogue One Special Edition.

Barista put a heart on my wife’s mocha. Cool. Wait, what did he put on my latte?

We found the space needle! Seattle is beautiful.

Traveling is so eye opening. It’s like oh damn they got trees and grass in France too. Wild.

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 02/05/2025

It’s interesting how many companies have figured out how to make HTML emails look beautiful on mobile, but haven’t yet cracked how to make the bottom area with the unsubscribe link mobile-friendly. I’m sure the best computer scientists are working on it.

is this where you post blue sky pics

@hankgreen.bsky.social is coffee really a kind of tea? Your chai tea video had me nodding until you said that. Coffee and tea are distinct plants, no?

My mom keeps sending me TikToks but I don’t have an account and can’t watch them so I just use a “haha” emoji in the chat and hope I got the vibe right.

I find a busy roundabout to be super anxiety-inducing in a way that intersections aren’t. It recently occurred to me that’s kinda the whole point. No one t-bones you at 50mph flying through a roundabout. It forces everyone to pay attention. I hate them and also see how they’re a lot better.

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 24/03/2025

Sometimes they tell you very directly that your attention is on the wrong thing.

I love that Cursor sometimes tries to fix linter errors for a bit and then says, actually those are expected, just ignore them.

Remember this two years from now when you’re saying, “Wow what happened to Walgreens? It’s so bad now!”

That feeling when someone not from your product team joins your team’s Slack channel and you know a new issue is about to be dropped on your plate.

The dudes on X are all talking about “model smell” and it makes me very uncomfortable.

Scariest possible way to say that you’re here with my food.

I’ve never really liked grapefruit. Too bitter. The grapefruit in my backyard couldn’t be more different than what’s available at the store though. Zero bitterness. They’re delicious. I have hundreds though. Please come over and eat some grapefruit.

I continue to believe that this subplot that predicts the rise of political misinformation and manipulation via online influencers and social media is one of the most prescient things to ever come from science fiction.

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 22/02/2025

With each passing year my brain inches closer to thinking birding sounds like a freaking great hobby that I should absolutely get into.

Look around and find a typical 75 year old man, then consider that Paul McCartney is 82 freaking years old and still dancing on stage, ripping guitar solos, and screaming into a mic. It’s really something.

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 15/02/2025

Getting my car serviced and Fox News is on in the lobby. After only 10 minutes I now know that tariffs bring down prices actually when Trump does them and that Elon and DOGE will completely fix inflation. They brought on experts to tell me this so it’s clearly true. So enlightening!

Josh Johnson @joshjohnson.link · 15/02/2025

Tried this in imagefx. Restongle and tomtor shares. Nailed it.

Say what you will about generative AI, but my folks are in a long term care facility being paid for entirely by Medicaid because ChatGPT helped me make that happen. Issues constantly arise with the billing and ChatGPT helps me solve every one. It has been invaluable in helping me navigate this.

You can just listen to music during meetings. No one can stop you.
