This is the web nerd. For the cigar: For the wine: Thank you.

@marcoarment Definitely seeing this. Glad it’s on your radar, so to speak.

[matthew @donmateo]

@jeffehobbs “contentful”

[matthew @donmateo]

“Graphic designer”?

[matthew @donmateo]

@jeffehobbs Maybe if they just shot for Captain…

@benjpasek Forgot egos!

@benjpasek Gypsy: ...he goes, ...she goes, ...amigos. And I love the Cole Porter story about it.

Dear @comcast @comcastcares @Xfinity etc. Nice work with the shameless fleecing of your customers! The regional monopolies are awesome, and the punitive bandwidth caps are pure genius! Way to screw folks while you’ve got ‘em over a barrel! Deliver that shareholder value!

[matthew @donmateo]

The way the word "bets" is thrown around when talking about the stock market really reinforces the fact that a massive portion of our economy is just a big casino. And there aren't even any showgirls. Or free drinks. What a ripoff.

@joshgondelman One time I got a crew together and packed a bunch of gear to go out on a hunt for people to deport. It was an extradition expedition. I’ll show myself out.

@Faith_Salie Rich is having enough to cover necessities, basic luxuries, and savings on what you earn from your job or business. Your car is nice, and you enjoy Costa Rica, but when the vacation is over you drive your nice car to work. All that and more and never having to work is wealth.

@mathowie Cool! I guess the universe is old enough to drink!

[matthew @donmateo]

What a thoughtful, nuanced take! What possible harm could come from using the power of the state to silence voices we don’t like? No way that could ever come back to haunt us!

[matthew @donmateo]

It warms the heart.

Just Happened. Military Band practices “Hit The Road Jack” right outside the WH! 😂😩

@JoshthePagan @MiekeEerkens @abbymanuel Other popular hollow gestures to increase profit: cheaping out on product and underpaying employees. A gesture of kindness, even if performative, can benefit both the giver and receiver. It’s like the way that simply smiling for its own sake can make you feel better. Try it!

we need a complete shutdown of graphic design until we can figure out what the hell is going on

@blackteslacat @aliamjadrizvi This kid’s rant is over the top, but not entirely unfair, and “vile” is a bridge too far. The far right and the Rs have undeniably drawn together, whereas the Ds have no use for the left once they’re elected. Biden a Socialist? Hilarious! Trump a Fascist? Arguable.

[matthew @donmateo]

@blackteslacat @aliamjadrizvi Malignant mischaracterization? Weaponized caricature? How do you explain the last 30 years of the common conservative’s views about liberals?

[matthew @donmateo]

Referring to yourself a pet “parent” is demeaning to both you and your pet. Pure cringe. I get why “owner” is problematic, but are you really a “parent” to your eight year old Great Dane? English has a lot of words. Let’s find a better one.

[matthew @donmateo]

@stuntbox I’ve been firmly in the “don’t hate” camp, but improbably, it is starting to grow on me.

[matthew @donmateo]

It feels disingenuous or naive for people to be upset about the new “checks” making up the difference between the $600 that passed and the $2000 that should have passed but still isn’t enough. It’s only because it was talked about as “checks” that it was ever unclear.
