A growing list of brands to avoid because they are “actively engaged in the enshittification playbook” (many post-acquisition by private equity), including Dr. Martens, Pyrex, Hoka, rag & bone, Ray-Ban, Black+Decker, Hunter Boot, Craftsmen, and more. [ledger.worseonpurpose.com]

Avoid — The Brand Ledger

Brands actively engaged in the enshittification playbook. Licensing models, post-acquisition cost-cutting, brand equity being extracted.

I had to log into my abandoned Twitter/X account to be able to see something shared online 🙄. Login wasn't accepted. Just an endless login failure loop. Figured out I needed to reset my password. The UI doesn't pop-up a "time to reset your password" as is usually the case since... decades.

A bit unfinished and a day late for #nokings, but here's one of my 20 collages for a digital art book that accompanies an album driven by current events I'm working on. Started a few weeks ago, but finally got this up-to-speed this morning.

Image is an original digital collage artwork by media artist Eric Peacock created in Photoshop using found images and licensed stock imagery. A very elaborate gold embossed picture frame is centered in a square filled with a white background. The frame features a man's upper shoulders and a head made of thick orange clay, but there's a violently removed chunk above the mouth distorting the nose and leaving a huge gash. The man has a normal human hand held in front of the mouth in a "shushing" gesture. He's wearing a corporate suit. There are black wings behind him that extend beyond the edges of the frame, with red stained wing shapes embossed over the frame edges. At the bottom of the frame wings turn into dripping blood. There is a snare drum on the man's head that is above and extends outside of the framed portrait. It is mounted like a crown and a reddish color. There are two blackened drum sticks mounted on either side of the portrait within the frame edges above the wings.

Found the email I sent when I got accidentally added to the faculty listserv of an orthopedic surgery clinic and nobody would remove me so I sent this email to all faculty/staff/med students and they removed me almost immediately

Hello Bone Colleagues, I have invented a new type of ankle and I'm very excited to show it to you. Early raccoon trials suggest a 60% increase in scurrying speed and dramatic increases in fine motor banditry. I know we are not supposed to create super raccoons, but I think you'll change your mind and professional ethics when you see how cute they are. I believe we are on the cusp of a new era in advanced human scurrying because if medical science has taught me anything, it's that improvements in raccoons correspond 1:1 to improvements in humans. -- [My name] Chief Bone Inventor Chair, Department of Foot and Leg Innovation Lord Mayor, Musculoskeletal Medicine Hartford HealthCare, The Bone & Joint Institute at Hartford Hospital.

LMFAO -- Trump is holding an event at the White House right now but there's no audio because the press pool isn't there. The Newsmax host notes that this is an example of Trump's attacks on the press "backfiring just a little bit"

Switching Password Managers in 2026

Important Note: Although I work at Apple in the password management and app/website authentication spaces, in this post I am speaking only for myself, personally. There is no “news” in this post or any kind of “inside scoop”. Please do share this post, but if I see “Apple’s Ricky Mondello” anywhere, I’ll be sad. My [...]

Indie documentary by a filmmaker friend I worked on is now streaming free with ads; Off-and-on I spent 2.5 years making ~16m of collage-style animation, restoring photos, and more. It's about about life choices we all make and is both fun and therapeutic. fawesome.tv/movies/10827...
