Managing the Lowell Spinners this summer, so I built a free steal decision app. Pitcher time to plate + catcher pop time vs. runner steal time = green, yellow, or red. Works on any phone, tablet, or laptop. Coaches, use it: spinnersgreenlightsteals.net…

sorta think every career manager should have to do a tour of duty as an IC, like every five years or so. kind of like an academic sabbatical.

Be careful out there everyone. I had 2 @Athletics Opening Day tickets in my car and someone broke in and left 4 more. #athletics @mlb #SellTheTeam

If a picture’s worth a thousand words, what’s the value of an entirely new visual language? Hear from our Systems Designer and Design Technologists on how things like "Peeks" and "Bloops" make working in Slack both more pleasant and productive. 👀 🚥 bit.ly/4703gBC

Breaking News: The Hollywood sign has been vandalized. The Dodgers are the prime suspects as they just took two massive Ls.

Since late last year, the accessibility team @SlackHQ has been working on making sure that our big new redesign would be as accessible as possible right out the gate. Grateful to @steven_aquino for writing about our ongoing efforts here: forbes.com/sites/stevenaquin…

Any designers figure out what to do with color styles in their DS @figma libraries? Do we replace our color palette styles with variables? Any benefit to having the styles too? Any way to migrate existing color style usages in feature files to variables? 🤷‍♂️

Initially, this was reported as an internal bug for the mobile team. But, we decided to leave it as is. Slackbot's been helping people for 8+ years. We figured it could use some rest too. 🧘 And kudos to @thinmatt & McKenna for shipping these lovely improvements to the app.

So... the first lawsuit I'd like to see is from a Jewish woman who has access to an abortion provider denied in a Christian Theocracy state sue that the Christian rules inhibit her religious freedom under the free exercise clause of the 1st Amendment.
