🫣 I'm heading to NYC the week of Sep 8 — do I have any design or tech folks who want to meet up? Even if not, welcome any recommendations for restaurants to try!

Does anyone have a fave @figma.com Slides PDF compression plugin? 100MB PDFs ain't it. Acrobat compression can only do so much, but it'd be nice to have it < 10MB at the end. I hear it has to do with how the program handles fonts? Any help appreciated #figmadesign

Read on a TikTok comment that Kelly Clarkson feeds off the souls of all the songs she covers and that’s why she looks so vibrant and youthful. That tracks.

Ngl I was rooting for a FiliPope but watching TikToks with the Chicago Bulls entrance music to introduce “Numbaaaaa 14…!” might be enough to soothe the soul

other genres i love: there’s a problem on the submarine jason statham has a job jean claude van damm needs to fight in a tournament

Chicken Shop Date’s success is further proof we are absolutely starved for rom coms and should figure out how to bring genuine chemistry back on screens (vs mashing pretty people together and crossing fingers)

PSA: if you use any of those viral lip stains, make sure you exfoliate your lips first. I now have slightly darker stained areas of my lips that emphasize that it was dry ;____;

I’m almost convinced this entire Luigi sitch is Con Air 2, because it’s the only explanation for the “candid” photos that look like it had a cinematographer take it, and the perp walk where he’s the pop of orange around armed men? Art

a useful thing to ask is how specifically does a rule or regulation or order go from issuance to implementation. for instance, trump has said that he will issue an executive order denying birth certificates and SSNs to the children of undocumented immigrants. okay. what happens next?

If someone you work with is doing an amazing job, tell them! (And if it feels appropriate, let their manager know, too!) It really can go suuuch a long way.

Aging is having both poor near and far sight and both eyes switch weaknesses. (Right is good for far, sucks for near; left is good for near, sucks for far) 🥲

Random fashion musing: if skinny jeans are out, why are leggings still reigning and fine? Theoretically you can swap one over the other with some outfits.

I'm DYING at what ChatGPT put together for me with the prompt: “Based on what you know about me, draw a picture of what you think my current life looks like.” It thinks of me as "a leader fostering a balance of strategy, collaboration, and professional harmony in a modern, organized setting." ☠️

If I were a betting person, this is what’s driving the Jaguar rebrand. Holding opinion until I see more of their campaign… (but I do prefer their old logomark)

Also I realize I contradicted myself with my parenthesis. I mean that’s just my knee jerk aesthetic preference w/o context, and a fuller opinion won’t be formed without seeing the rest of the rebrand campaign

I am conflicted about how I'd like to use this account. In the app formerly known as Twitter, I mixed up the professional stuff with random crap. I used it to promo my team's work mostly bc I'm proud of them. Threads I kinda rambled about TV shows, movies, and music. So what now?

You are up to date.
