@BarackObama I saw that you were at Buzz’s in Kailua recently! My family wishes we could have been there to have a chance to catch you as we are in the area. Happy holidays and new year to you and your family.

I’ve had the pleasure of working with @justmazer in 2 contexts - as a coworker and as a portfolio company. He knows his stuff; this is a great list and blueprint for how we run our process.

@justmazer Comboing is next level. Now I can only imagine you whipping your head back and forth between the two views

I feel like looking backwards over my shoulder when backing out in a car outs me as an old person.

@CatamyKX Happy birthday Cat ❤️🙂

[Tim Hsu @jest1]

@maddizzlee @Graydiance @CatamyKX @darkhorse4life TIL about moissanite. Also @CatamyKX agree on ring shopping together, at least to get a sense of likes/dislikes. Even if you know your partner really well, i wasn’t sure how that translated to rings 😅

Top listened artist in my #SpotifyWrapped … goes to @taylorswift13 (Taylor’s version) Seriously, what doesn’t she win 🏆?

[Tim Hsu @jest1]

I watched game 1 of #Worlds2022 by myself and was worried about a boring finals. Then I watched game 2 and it got interesting. Then I watched games 3-5 w/ friends as a virtual watch party incl someone who is extremely knowledgeable about league and honestly it was incredible

@BrainEngineer +1 to this. Quite a bit of the inertia/initial hesitance from folks starts with, “I’m not an artist or an engineer or a game designer”

[Tim Hsu @jest1]

@maddizzlee You and Paul are going to be such great (and cool) parents. Your daughter is so lucky! Also, I’m totally down to hang out - I’ll DM or text

@lindseycwilder The marketer in me wonders about the consumer insight that led to this feature. The PM in me wonders about the misaligned product requirements that made this feature unusable. The technologist in me thinks about dependencies and bugs/edge cases that deprecation will cause.

Why do microwave ovens have a “popcorn” button when literally every microwave popcorn that we buy and make explicitly states “Do not use popcorn button”

[Tim Hsu @jest1]

@CatamyKX Haha, amazing. It’s like the salon owner needs a blog or journal but only has their salon website and they were like “F it”, it’s all going on there

Yo @crusher do you know Heardle? You guess a track with a 1 sec opening sample. I regularly get biggie, Wu tang, etc tracks in the 1st second and my 13 y/o daughter is like wtf. If you’re able to hit up https://t.co/xaweWIiEfw today, you should try today’s for sure
