11 out of 10. Very worth it. Can’t believe I’ve missed this perk every time I’ve gone through Heathrow this year 🫠

I keep trying to look away, but it’s just so beautiful.

"It’s like everyone has spent the last few years in a giant all-inclusive resort. Now we’re moving into nice little bed-and-breakfast places, but we’re complaining because it takes slightly more effort to book a room, and the free WIFI isn’t as fast." https://mxb.dev/blog/the-indieweb-for-everyone/

Wow someone really did this

In summary:

(1) Family time is limited—cherish it.

(2) Friend time is limited—prioritize real ones.

(3) Partner time is significant—never settle.

(4) Children time is precious—be present.

(5) Coworker time is significant—find energy.

(6) Alone time is highest—love yourself.

Since it gets asked almost every time I post a screen recording or screenshot of it, here's a mini-thread detailing my terminal configuration.

(which looks something like this)

It’s easy to feel smug about the crypto collapse, but honestly who could’ve predicted that an asset with no intrinsic value of any kind would eventually become worthless?

All this Twitter drama makes me really appreciate YouTube’s leadership team and the support they have for creators.

It’s not a perfect platform, but it’s the best.

The early crypto skeptics deserve more credit.

Not only did they call all of this, they did so in the face of constant shaming and harrassment. (Not to mention everyone pointing to the increasing value of their crypto wallets as evidence that they were wrong.)

Elon just pulling all the control rods out of Twitter and talking about how much more energy it's producing now

People are starting to say Elon Musk isn't actually a real engineer. But he definitely said "I don't know why people think Twitter is so complicated. I could fix it in like a weekend." And then proceeded to fuck everything up. That's exactly like an engineer.

i was on tumblr when yahoo had to sell it for $3 million after buying it for $1.1 billion. we were all a little bit responsible for losing yahoo a billion dollars. and with that type of collective effort, i believe we here on twitter can lose elon musk even more

Only one winner and it’s this

Twitter Community: Knock Knock
Elon: Who's there?
Twitter Community: Parody
Elon: Parody who?
Twitter Community: Pairodeez Nuts

this is exactly how Kendall Roy would have handled Twitter

From @ZoeSchiffer and I, an account of one of the most chaotic days in Twitter’s history. We’re making it free for everyone to read because we think the whole story needs to be told.

we criticize hollywood for lazy tropes but our two main antagonists right now is a former kgb agent with a penchant for poisoning and an emerald mine heir who wants to live on mars. if these were bond villains they’d be dismissed as caricature

Companies make mistakes all the time, but you don’t normally have like a one week period where Exxon decides to set all of its oil on fire and then calls the fire department to put it out then shoots the firemen then announces a shift into the logging business
