@rafrennie graphic design as aesthetics, sure. but graphic design as wayfinding or information architecture has plenty of scope for effective critique

the new teenage engineering portable speaker has MULTIPLE INPUTS so you can jam with your friends or kids, and usb audio out so you can plug in your phone and get full quality multitrack recordings of the session.

this is real social technology. I fucking love it

[Mark Hurrell @markhurrell]

@jape its an unexamined benefit of agile working imo

[Mark Hurrell @markhurrell]

@garbnzgh its just so considered about the role music has in people’s lives, as opposed to theoretical problem solving. I’m thinking it’ll make a good christmas gift for myself

What’s a sex scene that was genuinely essential to the story, revealing something about the characters or changing the course of the plot, rather than just being there for the sake of it?

everyone thinks you need to be a “prompt engineer” but sometimes you get the best result going full lobotomy

ebay also has the worst user experience on the internet

[BORED @BoredElonMusk]

eBay is taking ~14% of all sales between people. How has no one built a viable competitor to this for a lower take rate?

FB marketplace is slightly cheaper but very scammy and still 10%

Forget competing with Amazon @elonmusk you should just build an alternative to eBay. High trust accounts here would flourish.
