The “job” panel is inaccurate. It doesn’t show the twenty-five meetings about the button size, the designer sketches on paper, the UX review, the corporate stakeholders sign-off, the Atlassian tickets, the back-and-forth email chain between the graphics person and the developer about generating the properly-sized button image, or the failed accessibility review.

Most of the climate change predictions I’ve heard in my lifetime have talked about stuff that would happen by 2050 or 2100. It’s always been bullshit, just a way of pushing out the consequences beyond a timeframe we can actually conceive of effectively. In reality this shit is already hitting us and accelerating hard.

I logged out of my account at the start of all this, but occasionally I go back and check out reddit as an unlogged lurker. It’s astonishing how low-quality the front page is when it’s not filtered by subjects you’re actually interested in. And good lord is new reddit ever a terrible user experience.

/r/truerateme is a lot funnier than shittytattoos. A chance for basement-dwelling incels to rate pretty girls who wouldn’t give them the time of day 5.5.

Well, I started hearing “2050” in the 1980s and it seemed impossibly far off. 2100 really ain’t that far off either.

Seriously, at what point is the Antarctic going to be the most pleasant place on Earth to live?

“I know he can get the job, but can he do the job?”

He just couldn’t handle the pressure of the job.

Some coyotes are cute …

I’m over 20,000 hours on Civilization III just on my current PC - that doesn’t even count all the time I spent on it when the game first came out. I’ve tried the later versions, just don’t like 'em as much.
