@Super__Yan East Bay sorry mama

@MitchBHavin Thank you for adding some clarity to such a confusing and heartbreaking situation. As fans, it's impossible for us to know exactly what happened, but it's helpful getting to hear more than one side of the story. I genuinely hope the four of you can find a fifth and start anew.

@rileybreck I'm heartbroken. Genuinely wish they would've declared an "indefinite hiatus" to leave the door open and allow a little space to work things out. This public trainwreck just makes it worse.

@Super__Yan Did you use a metal spoon on a nonstick pan though? 🤔

[Ben Dedrick @BenDedrick]

@THX Doesn't really seem that different from regular Las Vegas though.

@emvutweets @Spotify Love the creativity here! This was shared internally, and you're getting props from lots of Spotifiers. Hope it works out! 🤘

@addelindh @HOLY_FAWN Still my favorite HF to date.

@JoelDedrick I mean, I don't do any of the above, but...

It was quite a leap indeed. Shoutouts to @spotifydesign for inviting me to be a part of this series.

EPISODE 5: In the final installment of Past Lives, @rhiannonatkins dives into @bendedrick’s time as a case manager in a psychiatric ward.

📻 Tune in to find out how he made the leap from psychology to working as a Senior Product Designer at Spotify: https://t.co/F2TuHdLDqW

@Super__Yan That's because they're honest.

[Ben Dedrick @BenDedrick]

@Super__Yan I wear one religiously because I'm not an asshole, but yeah, in my neighborhood it's like 50/50 at best. On the bright side, NY has largely been successful at containing the spread, and our numbers have stayed decent despite all the irresponsibility.

[Ben Dedrick @BenDedrick]

@Super__Yan That's what I was fishing for! 😍

[Ben Dedrick @BenDedrick]

Happy to share that I have a new article up on Spotify Design. Hope it helps for those of you dealing with similar challenges in your own remote work!

Senior Product Designer, @BenDedrick was about ready to host a design sprint when the lockdown in NYC changed everything. Find out how he managed to do the unthinkable - i.e lead a design sprint without a whiteboard and a pile of sticky notes. https://t.co/sNQZczwW2O

@dustinkensrue @CarryTheFirePod Super excited to hear this episode, but even more pleased that you're directing attention to something far more important. Thanks for speaking out.

[Ben Dedrick @BenDedrick]

@rileybreck Homewrecker tho.

@BenKoller @BrettGurewitz About 20 years ago, with Stranger Than Fiction on in her car, my sister told me "These guys are fucking geniuses, listen to this" just as this hit. It turned me on to Bad Religion, and punk was ultimately such an important part of my life. It also (eventually) led me to Converge!

@dustinkensrue @BernieSanders Thank you for posting this. Big ol' stream of follower replies from people who seem to be in kind of a hurry to prove your point.
