@Instacart the sponsored products are getting out of hand. Going through 4 rows of irrelevant results to get to what I actually want? I’ll switch to a new service that doesn’t waste my time. Thanks.

@TheSpaceGal my daughters tried the pizza box experiment and demanded I inform you: it really works! #emilyswonderlab And it was all self directed! Kinda a miracle honestly - on both fronts.

@SlateGabfest my daughter stumped me tonight with “what’s the craziest thing you ever learned” - could you do as a slate plus so I can cheat off your paper?

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@jonathangibs Right on! I love this! Miss your brain so much @jonathangibs

Friction is a feature. Vote for my talk - then share with me your example of this!

[Huge @hugeinc]

Friction-free – the removal of obstacles, frustrations, and inefficiencies. Is this a world that's a cost to our humanity? Or is friction a feature, not a failing?

Get to know more from Emily Wengert [@wallowmuddy] and @JSchlossberg for @sxsw 2022.

It’s been a rough week after a teacher got Covid and the kids got quarantined until Monday, but thank god for @Lin_Manuel’s #VivoMovie #vivonetflix for the laughs

[Jason Schlossberg @JSchlossberg]

Please consider upvoting my new #SXSW proposal with @wallowmuddy. We're exploring the much maligned and misunderstood benefit of friction in the creation of products and experiences. https://t.co/5AB26KtA9u

@Walgreens I hung up after 45 minutes waiting on hold. Terrible customer service. Would not recommend to anyone. Hi @cvspharmacy. Whatcha doing?

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@Walgreens when your hold message says “we will be with you shortly” and it’s been 35 minutes, it seems we have different definitions of “short.”

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@Walgreens what’s an acceptable length of time to wait on hold with your stores? Does 23 minutes and counting sound about right?

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

This matters. https://t.co/MB8d3SsPel

[Jinjin 孙槿槿 @jinjinxsun]

I want to talk a little bit more about this particular #100DaysofArtHistoryJinjins entry. I deliberately tweaked my copy, because I found the original image by Klimt gorgeous and striking--but also male gaze-y, orientalist, and an example of cultural appropriation.

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

This! A million times this. “In recent decades many Americans have conflated liberty with selfishness, adopting the notion that freedoms are self-sustaining, that liberty is a birthright that no longer requires sacrifice or collective action.” https://t.co/ZiC1dgyRLS

@Lesdoggg I feel certain I have you to thank for the kornacki cam we all get to enjoy. It’s a little spot of joy in this stress.

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@natalierachel Parent friends I know don’t use Santa as a threat. That’s in a song, but not day-to-day vocab. I suppose some must. I do it because my parents did (terrible answer) and the message once my kids figure it out is “now you get to be Santa.” Focus is kindness without needing credit

@ClareMalone @ABC I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been relieved and thankful to hear a woman’s voice on a data-driven podcast like @538politics. Probably every week for the past 5 years. @ABC you missed the point on this one. Clare, I can’t wait to see where you go.

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

Being anti racist can’t be a political calculation based on polling. It’s a sign of your empathy for humanity that isn’t negotiable. No waffling. No diluting. @perrybaconjr speaks to the tension of this in our politics. https://t.co/F2yKRw6GLV

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

Time won’t fix this. This is what systemic means. We should all be angry: https://t.co/HStSeTW735

Take a #sickofitday and vote early!

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@AmazonHelp Thats where I started. I see no link there to cancel a sub. What am I missing?

[Emily Wengert @wallowmuddy]

@amazon jumping through hoops to cancel subs should be illegal for consumer finance protection. A) it’s impossible to cancel from the app. There’s no good reason why except you hope to make it difficult. B) just finding this screen took 6+ clicks. And C) typed URLs no links! Grrr
