I bought it for live monitoring, with all the struggles I’ve had getting audio to the optimum levels. Then realized it has a plugin for Resolve, and 🤯

If you think about it, since most people have to get their eyes checked every few years. Aren't glasses/contacts just a subscription service for sight?

Web3 is pretty clearly about grift / scamming people. I withheld judgement waiting for viable use cases to emerge. I'm calling it: there aren't any that I've been able to see through the cacophony of scams.

But what especially grabs me is how *seedy* these words generally are. Consider the above examples, along with turncoat (traitor), lickspittle (toady), skinflint (miser), turnkey (gaoler), scofflaw (criminal), lackwit (fool), cutthroat (murderer) or sellsword (mercenary).

Sucks for the people at Figma that have to convince themselves and others that this is great news.

California's antitrust case against Amazon feels anachronistic, like a witchcraft charge, or some other ancient crime that we no longer prosecute. It's true, antitrust spent 40 year in a coma! The Amazon case neatly illustrates how it was sedated, and why it finally roused. 1/

If I've missed a message from you it's not because I'm too busy, it's because no human being can routinely check email, text, Signal, Whatsapp, Telegram, Discord and DM's on every social platform... lol

How are you all doing it?

I freaking love this idea — with iOS 16, this guy is saving clips of every outfit he wears in the Notes app 🤯

The cat who was completely obsessed with my bump when I was pregnant is quite uninterested in the baby now that she's out. It's a weird way to find out that my cat is a Republican.

Um. Has anyone stopped to consider that we aren’t very good at things and this will just cause a whole new set of terrible problems

In 12 days we're going to try and deflect an asteroid by ramming it - to prove a way to protect Earth. The dinosaurs wished they had @NASA.

definitely seems like an enormous green light falling from the sky as the queen lies in state and a new king is crowned is the kind of thing that would have led to bloodshed in ancient times

Ever wondered how a QR code works?
No, me neither but it's low-key fascinating.

My rule is I'll only promote a product if it's something I like, would actually use, and would be willing to purchase with my own money. Which excludes 99% of companies doing sponsor deals
