Vacation canceled: wasn’t called for jury duty selection.
I had a vintage 1990s Diet Pepsi baseball hat and the same joke about magicians ready to woo the defendant’s attorney.
My streak as a unanimous verdict delivering foreman remains unbroken.
Hey @Rivian,
You could paint R2 in that Baywatch Yellow or Baja Blast Teal and let it become what it was born to be.
Sincerely,

Tom Hiddleston says happiness is overrated and spending your life chasing it can actually make you unhappy
"Happiness is overrated. Meaning is underrated. Happiness is like a sunrise or a sunset. Bear with me"
"You're there. It's lovely. You're present with it. The sun's rising or the sun is setting. It's perfect. After 15 minutes, the moment is over and it's gone. Trying to sustain it is impossible because it's over"
"And a life spent chasing the permanence of that feeling will make you unhappy because you can't hold on to it. The moment you try to hold on to it, it slips through your fingers and is lost"
"Meaning is a structure that only you create in your own life, an architecture with your own particular spiritual fingerprint, whereby if you're going through a hard time, if you're going through challenge, struggle, obstacles, suffering or pain, only you know why you're going through it"
"You might know, this is hard now. I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my mom. I'm doing it for my future"
"And then it makes enduring the hard times bearable because you know what it means"
"And meaning - this is the take - meaning yields joy. Joy is deeper than happiness"
Hey @gittower, what’s up with the affiliate program?
Got an email that a commission landed, but the dashboard says the program is inactive.
A generational voice goes silent, but don’t feel sorrow, Sir Patrick Stewart has seen everything.

Buying a MacBook Pro used to be so easy. High spec or low spec.
Now @apple sells a model matrix where everything is a trade-off to cost compensate for something else.
“Matte is better” vs “Glossy is better”
50% of the time you’re wrong every time.
Universal truth: grain of sand in the hinge absolutely ruins this form factor. Never getting this.

I really do think `linked-parameters` will change the Icon System game on websites.

It means we can use `<img src="/icon.svg">` (caching! lazy loading? alt text, srcset, so much!) and have FULL styling control on the inside. It's all upsides.
PSA ➔ iOS 27 Connectivity Assist turned itself on which uses cell data to “boost” wi-fi. Ugh.
On average, I’m at home 24/7 with no-cap Gigabit wi-fi.
It spent my cell data to empty. Thought the chip was dead b/c nothing worked outside.
Turn that off: iOS ➔ Settings ➔ Wi-Fi
Nothing — I mean nothing — has made me want to pay for YouTube Premium more than unending ads for/against local political candidates.
These no-impact positions have more airtime than Taylor, Beyonce, and Zendaya combined and it’s unbearable.
Dog Mode is nothing. Cat Mode is forever.
I promise to recite this tweet at @ChadMoran’s funeral.
The best part of real estate listings is when they calmly present the insane remodel choices.
Nice kitchen, lots of windows, swapped the pantry for a glass shower. Or maybe it’s both?
TFW, you find code in your project that nothing imports and you know nothing ever did because the API it calls never existed and it was committed by a long-gone dev 6 years ago:
PSA ➔ Don’t change your font smoothing so it’s different than 99.999% of users. You’re going to put bad UI into the world.
It seems cool until you encounter a website using Raleway typeface at 100 weight at 11px.
Like wearing a chain so thin it’s invisible.
I’m a little embarrassed to post this since everyone else probably already knew, but @adamwathan just told me about this command:

Log out and back in. I've basically been living with a blurry film over my XDR display for years. 😭
PSA and FML in one ➔
Clicking “Restart to update @GoogleChrome” does not restore your incognito windows because of course it doesn’t.
All the application states I queued up for easier design tuning must now be recreated.
America.gov ➔ Can you file a tax return?
No, it cannot.
It’s the one thing every American must do annually, and it's so amorphous and tedious that most pay for help doing it correctly.
