blockchain apps should reframe the horrible slowness and high fees as "slow finance" and make it a feature

Breaking: The CDC is now allowing all fully-vaccinated individuals to close their tabs opened prior to the pandemic.

Oooh, deep cut.

Bitcoin: Imagine holding USD, a currency that falls 1% - 2% in value each year

Bitcoin:

"If we are committed to continuing to expand freeways at the expense of everything else, then we're not going to be able to actually start building towards the future that will be safer and have more options." - @PBOTinfo Commish @JoAnnPDX at Pedestrian Advisory Cmte just now

I just heard Laurie Santos on Unladylike talking about "time confetti." She said we actually have more spare time than we did 10 years ago, but that it comes in tiny, seemingly useless chunks - 5 minutes before a Zoom, etc. She suggested making a list... (1/2)

All code is technical debt

Just occurred to me that this is me, most days, either taking meetings on Zoom or streaming video games. I'm basically living inside my show, The Guild. LOL.

I now train at the aerial studio that took over the La Luna space and have changed into a leotard in that bathroom.

.@cnn has now confirmed what I wrote 4 days ago, that CP shut down pipeline because they couldn't bill customers. Per CNN: "The company halted operations because its billing system was compromised...and they were concerned they wouldn't be able to figure out how much to bill"

The pipeline was fine the whole time. They just couldn’t accurately bill customers so they cut fuel to most of the Eastern seaboard.

Is this becoming a thing? Using #Figma as an endpoint instead of a design and prototyping tool?

A local café uses it to show its up-to-date menu.

The pumpkin bread was gone already, and minutes later, when I checked again, taken off the menu. More complicated if you use a PDF.

if you love complicated video production I'm going to join @aaronpk on his live stream to deconstruct the elaborate set up we had for the charity poker game https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCI3Par_DRgPKKwVIthS5JAA

Calculating my taxes

Real talk: This pandemic has fundamentally shaken my faith in human nature.

I used to think that at our core, people were basically good. What we’ve been shown is that huge portions of the American population, disproportionately white men, are aggressively suicidally selfish.
