News articles are saying Elio is a flop because it’s an original story. It just doesn’t seem compelling to me. It may be great, but it just doesn’t seem like a world I’m interested in. And Pixar needs to move on from that animation-style.
You don’t control the world. You convince it. And right now, as the U.S., Israel, and Iran spiral closer to a broader war, we’re witnessing what happens when that truth is ignored. open.substack.com/pub/trygveol...

If a text includes an em dash, I'm assuming it was AI written. No one uses em dashes as much as AI.
Some people are aggregators and some people are curators.
To make matters worse, importers are leaving inventory in China ports. Waiting for tariffs to be lowered. If they are lowered enough, there will be a crush to ship them here and transport them when they get here. That will drive transportation costs way up. = More inflation, post tariffs

Homemade pasta and homemade marinara sauce for dinner. Incredibly simple and flavorful. The Italians are culinary masters.
Cars, dishwashers, and SUVs are now all cheaply made electronics.
What is up with clothing companies trying to sell me a sweater as part of their Spring collection?
We gotta do something about how loud leaf blowers are.
Is Figma buggy for anyone else? Seems like I'm having to restart it every day.
AI images is the new plastic straws. Are they problematic? Yes. Are people grossly overreacting for the sake of feeling better about themselves? Most definitely.
Engineers spend most their time typing while designers spend most their time clicking.

I’d love to start a restaurant pop-up that only serves the 4 Roman pastas, kale salad, focaccia, and tiramisu for dessert. Along with Italian wines. Reservation only and you have to order when you reserve.

Sitting outside. On a beautiful night with perfect weather. With the heavy odors of Spring pollen mixed with forest fire smoke.
Rdio died a decade ago. But its design was so ahead of its time it still looks modern.
I used to go to concerts all the time. And rarely did I have trouble finding tickets. Now everything I try to attend is immediately sold out.
Negative reviews seem to have gone up in the last couple years. I’m not convinced it’s due to our service. I think our service is the best it’s been in years. I think people are just ok being assholes. Got a 1 star review because we don’t offer half and half.
Wish I read this book years ago. If you have kids, I’d highly recommend picking up a copy.
