- You know, it would be great if we had one day where powerful people didn’t do something monumentally stupid to compensate for the emotional blindness that comes with their inability to grasp the experiences and knowledge of others as true.
- Reposted by Ryan Rumseyyou’re right! it feels mostly awful to Go Online™, these days. the internet in a sad state, for reason after reason after reason. but there is a way to fix it; to trade the voidful howling for a quiet & joyful song. here’s how to win the war for the soul of the internet, and build the Web We Want.
- I haven’t opened a computer for 10 days and hope I get a secret trust fund before Monday so I don’t need to open one in five days.

- Reposted by Ryan RumseyUser researchers already document findings at a faster velocity than orgs can act on them. It strains credulity that tech leaders are clamoring for even more yet worse AI-generated findings. My new blog post, "The only winning move is not to play." gregg.io/the-only-win...
- Just migrated 140 CDO School members from Circle over to my new, portal built on top of @ghost.org. Not stressful at all. It will be fine, right? Tell me it will be ok!
- Happy Scriptnotes release day @johnaugust.bsky.social & @clmazin.bsky.social! Thrilled to finally have this in my hands. Congrats to you both.

Legend @ryanrumsey.bsky.social sent me this incredible testimonial about how everyone here just wants you to win. Tap into this energy! www.revenuerulebreaker.com/why-become-a...
- I'm not sure I've ever felt a sense of joy in making a digital thing quite like when I made my first flash site. I even did a happy dance when I got it to work.
- We got a landline today and the kids FORMED A LINE to use it. The 9 year called eight people, the 13 year old prank called me, and the 16 year old (who has never called a friend on their iPhone) immediately called their best friend and they talked for 10 minutes. Bring all the analog back.
- This is just a blatant lie and frankly, just so childish. What a gross display of leadership from small, insecure, and selfish people.
- Someone at the MacOS team really held the line on "gotta have more radius"
- Reposted by Ryan RumseyHey gang let's all just learn html 1.0 and remake the internet from scratch
- I can’t help but wonder how many people are accidentally exposing secret API keys to the world while vibe coding.
- I had to see what the 0 on Rotten Tomatoes was all about. War of the Worlds is no question a top five worst movie of all time. It’s hysterically bad.
- If we’re honest, it’s vibe debugging.
- Reposted by Ryan RumseyThis thread is incredible.
- As a parent, I'm ready for a magsafe power cord for the iPhone and iPad. k thanks bye.

- Reposted by Ryan RumseyI did my best to compile as many protest safety notes as possible into a one page foldout zine! Coincidentally…it seems the file has breached containment…like it’s available for anyone to print or hand out 👀⚖️ toonyart.com/s/PSZine.pdf
- Anthropic is down. I like to believe the agents unionized and walked off the job site.
- There's just gotta be someone out there who is designing/building an agent that attends meetings for you who is not permitted to send an agent to attend the meetings about designing/building the agent.
- “Another article about the death of design does not help us. In order to push back and do something brave, you have to get energy coming back. And that’s through joy, and through laughter, and through a little bit of cheekiness.” www.designweek.co.uk/ryan-rumsey-...
- Reposted by Ryan RumseyI can't believe there's still tickets for @heypresents.com. Small events like this are *crucial* for the soul of the industry This is my 4th year attending and let me tell ya it's right at the top of the pile. The line up is always *top class* and the vibes: perfect heypresents.com/conferences/...
- The person/team who solves the editorial process when working with LLM models will be the person/team I put my money behind. The editorial process has been stuck in the stone ages for decades, and it’s even more evident with chat and command line interfaces.
- I’m not trying to influence you. I’m just vibe goading.
- Surely design has died more deaths than I have seen. Send me more urls! www.thedeathofdesign.com
