    As someone with an autoimmune condition that only recently became controllable as a result of discoveries from their research, I owe my quality of life and continued health to the work done by Brunklow, Ramsdell, and Sakaguchi. They absolutely deserve the Nobel Prize. https://apnews.com/article/nobel-prize-medicine-a68cf8a3b930570630168a949d277cde

    We’ve reached a point where new gadget is just a long con for a bunch of VC to turn something you come to depend on into something that makes your life worse for profit. It really doesn’t have to be that way, but we never hold them accountable for it. From: @mcc https://mastodon.social/@mcc/115313215710429943

    If the AWS stays down for more than 15 minutes you are legally allowed to go home, it’s the law.

    There’s this combo Google Drive/project management system called Feishu (or Lark) that a lot of our clients use, and it’s the single most sociopathic, unintuitive, garbage UX I have ever experienced. I hate everything about it and despise that it even exists.

    97% of my social networking is just DMs and group chats now. Much better vibe.

    It is 2025 and somehow I still can&amp;#39;t rely on a phone camera to reliably and consistently choose landscape vs portrait correctly. And, worse, the process to fix that before sharing a photo is still more than a single extra tap. Thank god I have a bunch of Al features I&amp;#39;II never use, I guess?

    Full disclosure: I am working on this account, and with my MS I’m intrinsically biased to think the subject is cool. But seeing some of the recent developments in accessibility like this has been heartening for me given everything else that’s going on. https://youtu.be/cUcQbNRPqfM?si=VVFj_i-R_dWGnLeC

    Cooking is one of my favorite activities. I insist on cooking breakfast every single day, and I feel like I’m starting to get sort of adventurous with it. Today’s is jalapenio, shiso, and onion rice porridge topped with fried bacon, sweet potato, and poached eggs, with sesame oil and ponzu.

    @grimalkina I work in PR and this is my life, and I understand it isn&amp;#39;t uncommon. I think it&amp;#39;s one of those &amp;quot;bravery isn&amp;#39;t the absence of fear, it&amp;#39;s just not letting it control you&amp;quot; things, except with your own self-cringe.

    First time to Japan (in Okinawa), and so much about it is rad. The US could simply never sustain cloth curtains on a public bus. Some fun shots from town today.

    I actually do use one, with a caveat. Every weekend that I can, I turn my smartphone off and switch to a dumbphone. I’d do it full time, but my job wouldn’t be compatible with it. The joy of fully disconnecting is real, though.

    My Western Massachusetts fellows: Dave Hayes (of The Weather Nut fame) just released his weather app. Finally, accurate weather for the Pioneer Valley area on your phone. iOS-only for now, though. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/the-weather-nut/id6751524291
