Your Design System Needs an Enforcer
Although design systems promise consistency, most still fail without someone actively enforcing the rules and making teams follow them.

again we do not really do a good job of explaining how wealthy people like Jeff Bezos are

his net worth is $253.2 billion.
so he could take one million dollars, and just light it on fire
and then do it again tomorrow
and again the day after that
and then do it every day for 693 years and 8 months

I’m excited to share the launch of the new Microsoft Inclusive Design website 💙

This project is my love letter to the community and practice that’s shaped my work for nearly a decade.

From @theathletic.com: Minnesotans hoped for a moment of normalcy at the Warriors-Timberwolves game, which had been postponed after federal agents killed Alex Pretti. But that simply wasn't possible.

an administration staffed to the top with degenerate liars
Noem lies shamelessly: "An individual approached order Patrol officers with a 9mm semi-automatic gun. The officers attempted to disarm this individual, but the armed suspect reacted violently. This looks like a situation where an individual arrived to inflict maximum damage and kill law enforcement"

His name is Alex Jeffrey Pretti. He was 37 years old.
He was a licensed nurse.
He was recording ICE and defending a female protester from their aggression.

And they executed him.

That was an execution.

Every Democratic governor, attorney general, senator and House member needs to stand up and loudly say in unison: Enough. Trump's war on Americans must end.
I just spoke with the White House after another horrific shooting by federal agents this morning. Minnesota has had it. This is sickening.

The President must end this operation. Pull the thousands of violent, untrained officers out of Minnesota. Now.

The app itself still faces an uncertain future—one that might result in a platform that is far more right-leaning, more hostile, and less secure.

Just got an email from my kid’s basketball coach outlining the safety precautions the host school has put in place, including when and how they’ll go into lockdown if the federal secret police show up. Again, schools making plans to protect children from their own government.

The choice is impeachment and removal or calamity for the United States. I don't see how anybody watching Trump's speech in Davos can draw any other conclusion. He's a senile madman.
