@youtube for the LOVE OF GOD please let me filter out the videos i have already watched! i waste sooo much time picking through content i've already seen! in case your engineering team needs any help: videos.filter(video => video.watched === false);
4 years ago today i made six predictions about the trump presidency. i am happy to say that i was wrong about infant mortality, which has declined. that said, i had no idea how awful and scary this period would be. i am optimistic that things are getting better.
my 6️⃣ predictions for the @realdonaldtrump presidency. spoiler alert: short term solutions to all problems. i #hope to be entirely wrong.

@youtubemusic i'd love an exploratory radio station that plays music unknown to me, and NOT yet-another "what's new" or "what's popular" list. there is a whole world of OLD and new music out there i don't know about but would like. help me find it!

can you imagine what the #covidquarantine would be like WITHOUT video chat, streaming media services, social media, online shopping and the ability for more people to work from home? overall #tech has been a mixed bag, but right now it's making my life much better.

do you need a name randomizer for a holiday gift exchange? i built one in @observablehq here: observablehq.com/@trebor/sha… i used a static random seed, so the order is fixed between runs, and nobody will be assigned to give a gift to themselves.

hey @people would it really be so hard to mention what they are BOTH waring, or better still, neither? how about you spend a month where every time you talk about a guy, you describe what he is wearing. me? #jeans #tshirt #indignation
