"I don't wanna hear from another design manager at instagram" 🛐

Kyle Wayne Benson @kylewaynebenson.com · 20/06/2025

Truly wild how many designers are now full time posting images of horses in fields and saying stuff like "what a time to be alive"

is it a bug, is it a feature, do I have a frail psyche or am I a strong man who knows exactly what he wants and what he wants is MJ Lenderman live

Youtube has autoplayed the MJ Lenderman tiny desk after every video for three months and I have watched it every single time

new default response to design feedback

A crop of a section of a page from There, There by Tommy Orange reads ‘adapt, to merge so as to not be swallowed, taken over.
"Well, that's a pretty convenient theory for someone who spends twenty hours a day leaning into their computer like they're waiting for a kiss," she'd said.’

I've worked with some idealistic designers recently and they tend to not be online—or at least not socially online. I wonder if it's a medium is the message thing more than it is an industry thing. Designers who are posting are going to post with the grain.

I’m so happy Sean Baker is getting the love he has long deserved. Anora is so good. AND See Nickel Boys if you haven’t. For me, it was the most moving and affecting movie of the last season.

I was in the same spot last month and ended up switching to Hostinger. The migration experience was great and it has a nice little github deploy integration. Its been a pleasant shock to go from ye old cpanel to a modern interface.

“Once you decide that a single vulnerable minority can be sacrificed, you’re operating within a fascist logic, because that means there might be a second one you’re willing to sacrifice, and a third, a fourth, and then what happens?” — Judith Butler, english.elpais.com/culture/2024...

Judith Butler, philosopher: ‘If you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logic’

Sure, lets evaluate what makes sports interesting!! But that's not what this is. As a sports fan, a person, it all makes me so so sad. Transphobia is such a fucking waste of time.

010

Kyle Wayne Benson @kylewaynebenson.com · 07/02/2025

But limiting participation in a sport based on something assigned at birth is absurd on every level. Like, what does birth have to say about Steph Curry's potential in the NBA?

Kyle Wayne Benson @kylewaynebenson.com · 07/02/2025

Because of this variety, we're able create new sports (all the time): new body type, new type of competition. So, personally, I'm always happy for new sports and new rules in old sports. It generally means more people get to compete at higher levels and in more ways.

Kyle Wayne Benson @kylewaynebenson.com · 07/02/2025

Okay so sports, like gender, are constructed. And the underlying assumption that makes sports interesting and competitive is that physical characteristics vary largely from person to person.

Is there like a discord for brand systems or design systems? Anyone? Hello.

I can’t recommend lessons enough! Even group lessons. Just having some regular accountability on the calendar helped me take it more seriously.

Okay, here’s the list of bummer closures that nobody asked for: - Sister - Bartavelle - Timeless (Jack London location) - Firebrand (Downtown) And if you want me to move, here is what you have to close: - Xochi the dog

The problem with being consistent is it holds you to a high bar before you know if the idea is any good

I've been using Lumos on a recent project and really loving the built in grid system. It's been like decades since I've used grids this much.
