Gotta have a music video too

#ChatGPT prompt: “Describe in detail what the scenes in the music video would like like”

ChatGPT prompt: “Write a song like California love by 2pac and Dr. Dre but make it about cookies instead. Include names of who sings the verses”

Cookie Monster and Mrs. Fields was the collab I never knew I needed

Apriums are better

[Don Le @donl]

Trader Joe’s is usually good at curating but this time we were hit with the paradox of choice… apriums or plumcots.

Is it better to be apricot first or plum first?

We couldn’t decide so bought both…

Having a child makes you get into the details of what you’ve never had to think about - like the difference between jaguars, leopards, and cheetahs

This TEST TEST TEST confirmation page doesn't inspire confidence that I'll get a response for help from @WAStateDOR

It’s useful to know how software is built - couldn’t get the timer on my Twinkly Christmas lights to work, then decided to try UTC time zone instead and yep it worked as expected.

Deceptive ads like this are unethical and should be banned. My mom thought ad on YouTube was a real notification and started deleting photos, and tried to click the “Clean” button only to be taken to a confusing app install page.

@lorenmorris Haha enough Twitter references today that you found me 👋

@kenjilopezalt I’m Seattle born and raised. There’s a weird badge of honor here about real Seattleites not using an umbrella. If I’m outside for 10+ min in the drizzle, it’s more pleasant for me and others around me at my destination if I used an umbrella.

@Steveroni Thanks Steve!

Excited to finally launch RedfinNow in SF and our hometown Seattle. If you're looking to sell your home, you can skip the listing process and get an all-cash offer on your home. https://t.co/jin9MPelYW

@pythonista Some of my colleagues have returned to their hometowns from Seattle during this period. Others, even before then had already moved to places like Texas. This experience will normalize being able to work from anywhere.

[Don Le @donl]

@pythonista Yep the current situation is just accelerating the trend we’ve seen at Redfin - the opportunity to work remotely increases the number of people who are moving from higher priced metros to lower priced ones: https://t.co/PfyOQe2qk4

When you're dealing with exponential growth, the time to act is when it feels too early.

Yesterday was the calm before the storm. Today, in span of a few hrs:

Seattle schools closed for 2 weeks, so daycare is too

Person in my office building (not at Redfin) tested positive for COVID-19

Tom Hanks has it

NBA suspended

Travel ban from Europe

That escalated fast.

Mariners are going to have an unfair advantage with their experience playing in front of empty stadiums #COVID19
