I might have gone for “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single missile in possession of a nuclear warhead, must be in want of a target” but I’m not a professional headline writer

A single nuclear warhead, of unknown origin, is heading toward the U.S. mainland in Kathryn Bigelow's new Netflix film. It's an unnerving scenario — but it's also thrilling to watch. n.pr/48przga

Qualitative user research will hang on a bit longer, at least until they figure out how to make it as good as a CPO’s wild guesses

AI will replace designers doing mockups until the companies discover it was no better than just guessing and they hire designers to fix their messes

“Let’s build dashboards of metrics for the C-level and then they’ll see why design is valuable” oh my brother in Alan Cooper they only care about the metrics not why they actually move so the moment they can generate those KPIs without you’re done

RICH CORINTHIAN PIXELS COME STANDARD

Dylan Wilbanks @dylanw.social · 23h

When the whole “AI WILL DESTROY THE UX WORLD!” stuff started everyone focused on the pixel pushers, but instead it’s the quantitative researchers getting fired first.

Rogan on Trump’s cruel mass deportations, racially profiling non-criminals and ripping apart families: “This is crazy. That shows no heart. You’re not gonna get any reasonable people to go along with that. Any kind person would go ‘this can’t be the only way to do this’.”

RFK JR: There are many other confirmations -- there are two studies that show children who are circumcised early have double the rate of autism. It’s highly likely because they are given Tylenol

RFK Jr: "Somebody showed me a TikTok video of a pregnant woman at 8 months pregnant -- she's an associate professor at the Columbia Medical School -- and she is saying 'F Trump' and gobbling Tylenol with her baby in her placenta. The level of Trump Derangement Syndrome is now a pathology."
