Less intense and emotionally possessed than normal, but no less effective because of its pointless coloration.

@JLBarrow I hear the editor who picked the photo is a real whiz kid.

I'm sure that the Wells Fargo CEO wishes this story hadn't leaked.

It's clearly yellow journalism.

@jasonchaas Really good point. Also, the tablets are functionally just QR code displays at this point. A sticker plus human interaction would work fine.

From highway exit to boarding the plane, Newark Airport is a user hostile experience.

@jasonchaas And we will not speak of the crimes against food committed by the vendors. Nor the crimes against reasonable pricing.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

@jasonchaas Yeah my initial impression was that this is an interesting approach (probably worked great for COVID too). But the experience is terrible and dehumanizing for everyone involved.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

@JLBarrow Agreed. But...hear me out: almost all pranks aren't funny.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

The rest of us, the bungled and the botched.

@JLBarrow Your dad and I could talk academics and later, photography. With your mom, I felt heard and seen. (Not at all a criticism of your pops. Different approaches for different people.)

The Irish word for pound is púnt and this is why you should have some diversity in your marketing teams.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

Amusing. 6 hours after posting this, I'm cleared to post. Still took a week, though. Not ready for prime time.

Tried signing up for Cohost, only got pineapples on plates.
Disable VPN... pineapples on plates

Things definitely seem a bit overwhelmed there right now. Maybe I'll check in when they have it a little more together.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

hahahaha it's been a week and I'm still ~5000th in line to be "activated". I'll keep the account, but this is not how to run a social site: "Sign up and maybe in 2-3 weeks we'll let you post something!"

Thirteen million dollars is less than what the NYPD gets every 12 hours.

Ok, I did the Mastodon thing. @[email protected]. I guess I should look at other instances at some point. Maybe.

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

The drive to be petty can be overwhelming.

Does the Steam UI only suck on Mac, or across the board? Janky, slow, inconvenient. I thought gamers complained and got stuff fixed?

[John Paxton @paxtonjohn]

@AnneBenjelloun Properly trained then. I suppose you'll be assimilated earlier. 😉

I keep hearing that AI and algorithms are going to revolutionize my social media experience. But IG reels just served me vaccine misinformation followed by the idiot representative from Colorado's 3rd, so I remain unimpressed.
