A high saturation thumbnail of a man, with completely white teeth and slightly larger than human eyes pointing at a computer while making a shh gesture. Although his eyes read excitement, you know that the spark has gone. You sense regret and longing. NEW POST ohgm.co.uk/should-you-c... NEW POST

Real art isn't meant to coddle you. It's also not meant to challenge your preconceptions or evoke an emotional response. It's meant to be annoying

"So what do you want to do for your birthday?" "Put out a big band jazz song, but with some unsettling backing vocals" "Right, what's the song about?" 👁️👁️ 👆👅 www.youtube.com/watch?v=JO66...

in the event of an apocalyptic event like nuclear war or zombie outbreak i will use my last remaining strength to write out notes that say things like "i don't feel so good, nobody had better open my safe, the code for which is 6816" and smear yellow paint on things

Impressions are down 98%, but clicks (and I'm sure revenue) are up 100%

I know I'm not meant to but I love this type of approach. nozzle.io/research/poi...

Had AXA doctors appt. The notes I received contained egregious errors; incorrect medication, invented medical history, additional 'causes' that had not been discussed. After some complaining and investigation, can you guess? Yes, doctors using AI notetakers and not checking things. Awesome.

Encountered a few solitary Search Console impressions for product URLs using the /paths from a competitor's site. I feel this would be a good interview question if you wanted to watch someone throw shit at the wall (some people are better at it).

Keep them guessing by prepending all your messages with "Here's a cleaner version that keeps the casual, instant-messenger style tone:" (never typing, only pasting and hitting send)

Filter to thousands of URLs to copy+paste. My hand slips, and Chrome is euthanised.

"A month? Oh dear, I've really let that one slide."

Spotify: what if an app, couldn't.

Had my first "this page is over 2MB" so the later links aren't getting indexed. Seems to be because there are 1k of the same svg inline.

"Triple Lock ➕" - choose between average earnings growth, CPI inflation, 2.5%, or mystery box 📦.

Sometimes I press "Export" like a fucking mug when I meant to press "Export..." (one gives you sheets like .xlsx, the other gives you a .dbseospider file)

"Oliver, how do we add jev to the website?"

mistyped chuckle - "This ticket has been in 'Candidate for Roadman' status for a while"

URL stands for "Unstable Resource Locator". The value must change moment to moment.

"I'm sure my aging ears from life as a touring musician are in a much better place to remix/remaster this album I worked on 30 years ago. I certainly won't master everything slightly louder and make some weird choices with reverb."

"it's so weird they put an 'Anarchy In The UK' cover as Track 3 on 'So Far, So Good...So What!', it really messes with the flow of the album and should have been a bonus track" should be a mandela effect.

Google now requires ecommerce sites to label adult products in ecommerce feeds or markup

Oh it’s Reacher, the largest man I have ever seen by quite some measure. Well, time to fight him one on one for some reason

Focus M continues to be one of the most quintessential memes of modern video gaming

hmm...we have products in the double digits. I think it's time to build the most fucked up faceted nav you've ever seen

[reporter doing nothing other than quoting CEOs] this is the most important time doing this Job….wow. Covering the fast paced world of technology is difficult

Is anyone playing chicken with that Cloudflare change?

imagining the internal eyebrow raises at _this_ being the largest reduction in quality and not _that_

when a programmatic site opts to remove the boring "old style seo" indexing and internal linking thresholds and use the "modern style seo" approach and really lets it rip.

The Nathan Fielder Elizabeth Holmes documentary is going to cause me physical pain to witness and no power on earth will stop me from seeing it opening night.

I think I’ve found the most insane and tasteless tiktok.

I would like to apologise to all the new freelancers I have had "the talk" with. I was a fool. A f***ing fool.

My favorite 404 story is academy.hubspot.com. Long story short, that property has switched hands between being owned by product and then being owned by marketing. Marketing (and SEO) wants to keep it server-side rendered. Product wants it to be a react app SPA. So they got it.

How [] completely changes the human body Caption - "I WISH I STARTED YESTERDAY" 🤷

Picard Voice: "Egg Salad, Hot"

when someone has a so-called "smart-watch" but it only tracks "metrics", and does not trigger the Goldeneye N64 pause menu music when they check it youtu.be/T34nXvCQDQQ?...

taking advice from the platonic average SEO blog post

"hmm has that invoice been paid?" click 'refresh bank feed' you have 1 new unreconciled transaction "ah, they've paid early, great" it's a currency exchange fee

if someone wearing the streaming glasses speaks to you you can hold your nose and ask "can't you smell that?" and start wretching "I'm sorry, it smells so bad, I'm not going to have a conversation with someone who has shit themselves. Please get away from me, I'm going to be sick" etc etc

just excellent lead qualification here

but they were all of them deceived, for another watermark was made

Getting an email to say someone has used an emoji on your email is a feature I like to think about (in terms of all the useful features and fixes it was prioritised over).
