Someone keeps trying to sign into my TikTok but they can’t and I know this because I keep getting pinged with two-factor authentication SMS requests. Is there a way to stop this?

The worst part about trying to program as a designer is setting up the overly complex dev environment with all these damn dependencies and if one thing is out of wack shit doesn’t work. Not even AI is able to help me. I tried everything. I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong 😭

Ok, this is it. My magnum opus. 20 years designing and I think I can define “taste” in a single sentence.
“Taste is intuition, sharpened by unrelenting practice and informed by evidence.”
Are we any closer to not arguing about this anymore yet? 😜

Can we SLOW THE F DOWN with all the AI slop getting announced literally every other day. Can like 10 different AI companies get together and make just one really good thing instead of 10 separate shitty things? kthxbai

4 inches of snow immediately followed by 9 inches of rain followed by 45mph wind gusts leading to flash freezing is literally the worst series of events ever in terms of New England weather. And the wind will be 30-50mph gusts until Wednesday! I hate it. Make it stop.
