This is a really fun-to-read story about getting the opportunity to build your dream product at a startup. Builder beware.

Gmail adding emoji reactions to emails is awesome, but now I’m also getting “sorry I didn’t mean to respond with a taco” emails

Over and over, in my head, I just keep singing the word “mozzarella” to the tune of “In the Navy.” Please send help.

I've been buying Powecom KN95 masks with headstraps from Bonafide Masks for the past six years. They're affordable, ship quickly, and are currently running a 25% off sale (code BFM25) for back to school. No eyeglasses fog and comfortable enough for 18-hour flights: bonafidemasks.com/powecom-kn95...

They must be beta testing some of these updates on slightly earlier versions, because I've noticed more than a few while running v47.0.

🔇 🔇 🔇 My book, Deep Unlearning, is now available for preorders! I don't know how people write so many books because this one took a lot out of me. It turns out, I had a lot to say 😂, with editors cutting out 50k of my words 🫣 ✴️ You can now preorder it at www.simonandschuster.com/books/Deep-U....

I feel like we need a reminder sometimes, so there is no amount of extra hours you could've worked to keep from getting laid off. Seniority, company loyalty, importance to the project - none of it matters when you're a number on a spreadsheet. Anyone telling you different is selling something.

What I learned from a career beset by mergers is that the people deciding who to fire are not the people who are familiar with your work.

In a timed game, time itself has no meaning but the ball gets an opinion. Truly unserious.

yesterday the ref disallowed a Croatia goal because a sensor detected the ball infinitesimally touched a player's hair. this happened in the 103rd minute of a game that was supposed to be 90 minutes but then the ref added 10 minutes but then Portugal scored so he added 3 more without telling anyone

it's pretty funny that the World Cup has sensors that detect the ball's rotation, acceleration, and location every .002 seconds (not exaggerating, the actual tech specs of the sensor) but also the game gets to the end and the ref says "ok I think 9 more minutes ... maybe more if I feel like it"

BACK TO THE FUTURE was released 41 years ago today. One of the most beloved movies of the 1980s, and the film that made Michael J. Fox a movie star, the behind the scenes story is pretty heavy… 1/45

This may be terrible advice, but buy yourself the damn shrimp. Buy it twice in one day if you can afford it. Not buying the shrimp isn't going to save you enough to buy a house and they're going to find another way to denigrate you regardless. And then you'll be slandered and shrimpless.
