Can you actually sue for emotional distress? Decorated military veteran with a PTSD diagnosis living in downtown Chicago and these fucking blackhawks are not helping. I already leave town during air shows.

I tried Tirtir and holy fuck what is this magic.

My building is planning to install Latch today. I asked to opt out, was told no. Anyone have any ideas here? Beyond the “no thank you to yet another app on my personal device”, any way to quarantine the app?

I think it should be okay for apps to ask me about my user preferences like, once a year. I think it should be illegal for them to reset my ad or auto-play preferences every update. I am a paying customer who has explicitly gone into settings and changed them. Respect it.

It’s wild that someone else can just decide that you have to be on trial. Is that really a thing? 🥸

Let’s spell this out. Trump fired a qualified U.S. attorney who refused to do his bidding and installed his own personal lawyer to punish a perceived opponent. Justice needs to follow the law, not politics. This is an attack on the rule of law. Full stop.

I feel like our first cue that society was collapsing is the sneaky shit built into Candy Crush.

“I started playing this game because of the voice over artists” is just such a wild claim to make IMO.

One thing Kimmel and I have in common. We’re both back Tuesday night. Live premiere 9pm eastern on YouTube

Customs was empty when I got back to Chicago today. It was eerie.

I wonder which tech lord didn’t kiss up _enough_, because they’ve all done it enough to make everyone 🤬🤮

Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad. One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Enough walking. Time for a G&T.

BTW this is one of the coolest uses of Ember I’ve ever seen…used in displays for Museums. Read the whole thread it’s super interesting just in general.

. @emberfest.eu is in Brussels this week! If you're interesed in visiting museums or expo's that are made with @emberjs.com, here's a lovely list for you! 🧵 I included an interactive map with some more info. www.google.com/maps/d/edit?... #emberjs #museums #belgium #flanders

Packing to head home from Brussels. Brief notes: - feels more chaotic here than other EU cities I’ve visited. - I purposefully tried to pack less. There were two things I didn’t bring that I wish I had, two things that I brought that I wish I didn’t. - my talk seemed to go over pretty well.

The buttonhole is still in the cloth napkins in first class

I just really need to know how do you pronounce the name Béibhionn

Can your noise-cancelling headphones deteriorate over time in a way where the noise cancelling doesn’t really work but you don’t notice it until you’re on an 8 hour flight with multiple screaming babies? Asking for a…me. Asking for me.

If your Halloween collection doesn’t include crows are you even trying?!

If you liked Demon Slayer the show, the movie does not disappoint.

How many days do I open any social media, read for less than two minutes then nope out?! The world these days. Can’t even doom scroll anymore.

Ok buckle up we’re about to do this whole ADHD ride that I just had IRL

When I was on Google Slides, I missed PowerPoint. Now that I’m back on PowerPoint I don’t remember how to do things. 🤦‍♀️

I don't celebrate violence. I am not happy for increased violence. However, I do not mourn the loss of a man who thought it was ok to sacrifice children for unchecked gun rights. I mourn the children who maybe would be alive today if fewer people advocated for those views.

I am so glad that I have a box full of older iPhones. Honestly after everything I’ve read today this might fund my retirement 😂

Well the NPM thing explains those 2FA texts I kept getting for a crypto wallet I didn’t remember making 🤷‍♀️

Saw Alonzo Bodden tonight and he keeps getting funnier.

So, I did write that K-pop Demon Hunter themed Accessibility talk…

I know the world is ending but I’m fascinated and confused by K-Pop. Especially like, why is Felix so adorable? How is his voice so good? Why is his skin and makeup so perfect? I will ponder this while watching another interview.

It baffles me how much people who don’t have to ship at scale seem to spend a lot of time shouting about things that only end up being in your life if you have to ship at scale. Like, if you have to use it, you understand why it exists. Be more curious, perhaps?
