Hi!

I was homeless.

That's me he wants to kill.

If you don't know me, hi, I am pretty nice, I think. I'm a privacy lawyer. I drive a cute yellow Bronco. I do art. I have two really fluffy Maine coon cats. I volunteer at food banks when I can.

This guy would have killed me for being homeless.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

Having a feedback assistant number is very helpful as @303.bsky.social mentions.

That said, see what I can do to get the team to make a more informative alert.

Right now, you might be asking yourself... "Huh, I wonder if #Apple will make a @sketch.com macOS 26 #UI #Kit for the new Apple #design language?"

Wonder no longer... We did! It's a beta but pretty much a 1:1 match of our previous kit. Only gets better from here on out.
