@GilletteStadium your signage and seat access could use a lot of improvement

Wow stumbled across this today! Very useful if you want to quickly gather data on how other design systems document a certain component.

It's called an Harpejji and I had no idea it existed until 5 minutes ago 🤯 I love the way the piano is visualized under the strings. It's both obvious and a bit nuts

The commercials/trailers before the show appear just fine. I’ve tried watching a number of different shows, all with the same result.

@AppleSupport Just upgraded to Monterey (12.6) on an 8-Core Intel Core i9 MacBook Pro. I am logged into my Apple account and I see this garbled screen on AppleTV. Works fine on an iPad.

@ooma Your account cancellation process is terrible and very unfriendly to your customers. Why can’t I simply request this online rather than wait on hold for 20+ min., get hung up on, wait another 15 min., get transferred to another person to request the cancellation?

@georgeknight Happy #617Day! How about playing Permanent Vacation by the New Models?

Great thread about collaborating with UI engineers to achieve the design vision of your application. https://t.co/focA0gcr1C

Design leaders who want to improve visual design in products should spend as much time advocating for better UI eng practices as they spend focusing on practices within their team.

Here are questions you can ask to diagnose & fix any gaps to shipping high quality UIs: 🧵⬇️

@DougCollinsUX My partner and I are going to sleep now?

[Laura Yarrow @laura_yarrow]

A trusted agitator understands the importance of building, trust, credibility and positive relationships before storming in with all guns blazing, or martyring themselves in the name of design.

You don't have to sacrifice your beliefs and principles to follow this ethos.

⁦@KitchenAidUSA⁩ @kitchenaidcare We just bought our new dishwasher and installed it two weeks ago. Today we found this melted piece of plastic and the lower spray arm just loose in the tub.

I order two of these bamboo drawer organizers at the same time and they shipped in one box each - that was easily 20 times the size of the product. Not very environmentally conscious @amazon. #amazonpackaging

Despite the clickbait headline, a good article on evolving as a UX professional.

@GlobeChadFinn @YouTubeTV @NESN Well, that might be the end of @YouTubeTV for me

@RocketMortgage The outstanding item on the list to get to closing is approval to subordinate our home equity loan. We contacted our bank to see if we could push that process along, but found that @RocketMortgage hadn’t even made the request. Day 72…we were told this would take about 30 days…

[alavery @alavery]

@RocketMortgage I have to dispute the claim that Rocket Mortgage is the “fastest” way to refi. We were told it would be about 30 days to close. Here we are at 60 days...

[alavery @alavery]

@amazonmusic I find this confusing. So after 90 days I pay an (unknown) HD subscription fee + $5/mo? How much is the fee?
