Friends, I am trying to help collect journalism/comms/research job postings for colleagues impacted by the L.A. Times layoffs today. Some of you have sent some my way, but please send more!

Holy crap.

I’ve installed a projector on the ceiling above my gaming table.
Painting dynamic lighting using @Procreate onto the game or layout.
I use this for grid overlays, stats, fog of war, area of effect simulations, and for some dramatic lighting. #boardgames #conceptart #3Dprinting

Any former YOUtools users on #PowerPoint for Mac experiencing this pop-up since uninstalling? I've uninstalled and reinstalled everything down to the PowerPoint preferences files multiple times and still no dice. Now it's starting to crash the program, gotta sort it.

Today I learned that sometimes, plan as you might, the exact right order of events for a demo or workshop is actually “wherever the questions take you”.

Ever resize your presentation and have the theme frustratingly revert back to PowerPoint's off the shelf look and feel?

Yea, me too. Just now. But!

Shoutout to @PPTWiz for this:

Has #PowerPoint incidentally owned table design for like ever? The standard expectation is driven almost entirely by that specific exposure, right?

@ArlanWasHere @hirerunner “It’s about damn time” as they say.

[Scott Latyn @latyn_design]

Had a little fun this afternoon rapidly re-engineering a @hirerunner slide that @ArlanWasHere shared last week.

Just a thought exercise — I don't own or make claim to any of the assets or data.

A slide from last Friday’s internal @hirerunner💜🏃🏾‍♀️ meeting. Each runner makes ~$35k/yr gross! Projections show our income 4x’ing every 3 months in 2022. By December, we should be at 1,000+ runners in talent pool w/300+ active runners. Become an investor: https://t.co/jBLgraJqUn
