Same ddt. Working in service design for govtech. Bikes, books, cats. But I get out. All content here is personal. If you know how it works, you are not the user. If your mother says she loves you, find a second source.

It's difficult to train out the "common sense" bias when dealing with complex systems, whether in design or government. Often, "common sense" isn't applicable and is counterproductive.

It's also difficult to learn how to communicate this distinction.

Should I write about that?

Another reason to hope Mamdami is successful (aside from, you know, wanting a better NYC): Imagine the sequel to the Fiorello! musical!

First caller on C-SPAN as they go to Mamdami HQ in prep for his acceptance speech is... wanting America to go back to its Christian roots and fears Mamdami.

I am not qualified to therapize Bill Ackman. So I'll leave it to you all. Wrong answers only.

This is why you can't succumb to nihilism. I know it's SO fucking hard, but that's what the fash want: for us to give up. Fuck them, it's not over

Update #2: Ackman is still convinced Cuomo is going to win, and has proposed Cuomo adopt the slogan "MNYGA"

Supposedly an unprecedented 2.2 million turnout with 60% above 45 years old. I am going to be an optimist and say
@andrewcuomo
is going to get the win. If he fails to win, it’s because
@CurtisSliwa
cares more about himself than NYC. Let’s never forget that.

If Andrew wins, he is going to be a great mayor. Why? Because he will owe nothing to the Democratic Party and he will be working only for his legacy. He can therefore do whatever is right for NYC for the long term without worrying about the political consequences.

@realDonaldTrump
is going to want to work with Cuomo to Make NY Great Again, MNYGA. Say: ManyGA

I think the President and Cuomo respect each other which increases the chances they will work well together.

We will know supposedly by 9:30pm.

Say a prayer.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.

McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.

Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

See the problem?

I can tell you right now that this doesn't meet 508 compliance, @workday.com

A web calendar component showing 2024 across the top and a four-column, three-row matrix of the months. The months are in near-black on a white background. The 2024 is the same near-black on a slightly gray but almost white background. There are also a left and a right arrow flanking the 2024, but these arrows are white and blend into the near-white as to be almost invisible.

Today I discovered that khaki pants, a chocolate-colored shirt, and a grey jacket work really well together and I feel like freaking Derek Guy.

Love how Workday offers you to "apply with last application" and that option leads you to an account creation page. Seems like if you had a previous application in Workday, you'd not need a new account?

"Permission to treat the sandwich as hostile."

"Oh, I'll show you hostile. I have ghost pepper sauce."

"Do you recognize that sandwich?" is an all-timer cross-examination question.

This is one of the greatest threads of all time

Dave Jamieson @jamieson.bsky.social · 22h

The defense team presses Lairmore on whether the sandwich really 'exploded.' They return to the photo of the sandwich and wrapper on the ground.

"That sandwich hasn't exploded at all, has it?" defense asks.

"It looks like a little bit is coming out towards the bottom," Lairmore replies.

The present doesn't have to mirror the past, but listening to 2018-2019 episodes of Knowledge Fight, it seems that's the path a lot of people find attractive.

I definitely have been holding off on all OS 26 updates on my devices, and am probably going to be a grumpy UX person for quite a while.
