I'm working on a new book with @bryanzug called The Design Hero Manifesto. Who are our real design heroes? Who should they be and why? We're launching a substack to involve you in the process. Hope you'll join us. designhero.substack.com/p/co… #design #ux

For those who start the New Year in less than festive mood, consider Tolkien's New Year diary entry from when he was 18 years old: "Depressed and as much in dark as ever,... God help me. Feel weak and weary." A thread on Tolkien's unpublished diary entries. #Tolkien #NewYear

Almost a year later we were able to find a better, but more expensive option, we had to cut our other expenses greatly. My rent was high because of NIMBYism, and daycare employees need high wages because of NIMBYism, and the cost of running a daycare is high because of NIMBYism!

Billionaire dilettantes have their own stupid definitions of all kinds of important words like "freedom" and "discrimination" and "free speech." Remember: these definitions have *nothing* to do with how the world's 7,999,997,332 non-billionaires experience these concepts. 68/

The only reason we're talking about it is that a billionaire dilettante would like to create chokepoints so he can extract payola from his users and meet his debt obligations to the Saudi royal family. 67/
