Highly recommend realizing you made a tiny but extremely significant mistake on a piece of public visual communication the same morning you are unusually overly critical of if you have made the right life choices. Really sends the nervous system into a vibratory flow state of sorts…

Weezer has become a parody of it self but Pinkerton is undeniably one of the greatest rock records ever written, an example of how collaborative excellence is magic and not a science. I wonder a lot how pop culture would be different if Matt did not leave / The Rentals got the cultural capital

By making my first relationship priority the librarians on campus, I got to bring my 8am design class to the decommissioned library on campus, to the confusion of absolutely everyone, and the endless joy of me.

Just need to muse somewhere about the irony that we didn’t need to start calling design “human centered” until it became about computers and electronics and robots….

Having my institution convert to microsoft 365 at the same time google is now just AI overviews that turn out to be incorrect more often than not every time I try to figure out how to turn off an annoying co-pilot feature that, surprise, you can’t turn off, is a unique kind of torture loop.

I don’t ever want to live here, but the pull Boston has on me as a city and the core memories it holds are undeniable. It’s like that person you really vibed with but never dated and generally are glad about that, but still sometimes think “huh…. What would that life have been like?”

I genuinely pity people who have decided to not like sports for whatever in group norm they’re guided by and thus never get to experience such collective effervescence.

Cape Verde is the size of Kansas City. I promise you there’s hardly a person in that country that doesn’t personally know at least one player on that team. Can you imagine how proud they must be of them?

Extremely excited about USMNT win, but terrified what Romelu Lukaku (33) is going to do to the oldest man to ever play soccer Tim Ream’s (38) knees. We should probably replace them preemptively.

Once on twitter I wrote that Hiss Golden Messenger could be my favorite band if it wasn’t for 30% of their songs, and even tho I didn’t tag him he found it and asked what 30% I hated, so incase he’s still out there reading: the new record is very good, and contains almost none of the songs I hate.

Flyers give you a ton of context about an event - what the tone and the values are. AI flyers say, nobody really cares about this, not even the people putting it on!!

In many ways the tech industry is a demonstration of the failure of the private market in building and managing vital public infrastructure.

Mixtape is far from a universal teenage experience, but it hits exactly the right nerve for me, tho in my opinion, it’s so much more than nostalgia bait and more so is about the propulsion of curiosity and really knowing and doing something, which is such an important story in our moment.

I make this half joke a lot about how I might be bi but I’ve been married to my wife for 15 years so I’ll never know, but I will admit my excitement over the bisexual Kansas City Royals gear might be an indicator

this always comes back to "the work is the work". There is no part of the work that isn't important. this comes up in creative writing "what if you just use AI for the tedious stuff" it's all the work, and all of it is part of the whole. abdicate any of it, and you have garbage.

I’ve really been preaching this idea that everything is ephemeral, especially cultural institutions, but bottom of the hill is one place I imagined would exist forever. Such a bummer.

Everything being a subscription model is terrible for the obvious reasons, but I think the worst part is the way companies keep their teams busy tweaking & “updating” their products, just making them more annoying to use, vs putting all that labor into focusing on the next version of the thing.

Companies who silo decision making abilities on accounts for couples/families to only the “primary” account holder are responsible for maintaining the patriarchy (even tho in this specific case, for my relationship it is the matriarchy, but we’re a 21st century family thank you very much)

I’d like to start a book club, but by book club, I mean a group for me to discuss the sci-fi worlds built within very specific RPGs I have recently played, because they are the visions of the future that keep me thinking more than any other sci-fi media
