This show started off curious but slow. By the end it was on fire though. 🔥 (Lots of spoilers in the article if you haven't watched the finale already).
Who needs drugs when we’ve got #Severance? My recap of the maddeningly perfect season finale, for @vulture. vulture.com/article/severanc…
Whenever I type "whether" I have to double check if I wrote what I meant or if I suddenly interjected something confusing about a castrated male sheep into the conversation.

I felt terrible for a moment having two drivers rate me 1 star, until I realized it was over the last TEN years.
To see how Uber drivers RATE YOU:
- Launch Uber app (make sure it’s updated)
- Tap profile pic
- Tap Settings
- Tap Privacy
- Tap Privacy Center
- In “summary of how you use Uber?”, tap “See summary”
- Tap “View my ratings”
Damn hard to find!!! 😐

The internet is full of stories and articles saying “be nice, assume positive intent” and just a few explaining why it doesn’t help us be better. thebias.com/2017/09/26/how-g…
I recently gave someone feedback on language usage including dictionary citations and when it wasn’t something they agreed with they pivoted into “you should assume positive intent; I hope society changes”.
I made it clear it’s not my job to determine what every person means.
@davemark you don’t have to wonder about the policy,it seems well documented in the guidelines: apple.com/legal/privacy/law-…

As a manager the culture (laws aside) around people sharing salary information helps me even when people don’t talk. “If Sam and Morgan discuss their compensation, how can I justify this to Morgan?” is a more effective tool when negotiating with HR or my manager now than it was.
Why would a man tell his female coworker what he's earning, and what happens when he does?
I spoke to men and women across tech who've had honest conversations with each other about money, and, turns out, the ripple effects can be huge.

The people making fun of how facebook might have needed power tools to access their servers today haven’t truly worked through their own outage contingency plans; or they are glossing over depending on someone else having power tools.

I like it when we figure out how to do a thing and @timbunce says some variation of "just a small matter of typing then". With ideas and a bit of typing we can do anything. Sometimes a lot of typing...
its so confusing to me when people say a software problem "can't be solved". software is magic. we're literally wizards. anything is doable.

For a while years ago Google had me as the 3rd result for “Ask”… Not sure if it’d have made it easier for people to believe it’s my name.

My version of this story didn’t even get to ASD. We only got to how in the paper there was an op-ed on ADHD being over diagnosed and <parent> can hyper focus for hours and just need to <all the ADHD mitigation strategies> and it’s fine, so no - it’s not real.

Yup. Except it can be loud noise or any other sensory input that’s too much (including just whatever my brain has going on).

Come for the tweet, stay for the follow up from @amandaknox.
when the guy behind the counter says your full order name (from credit card) and then looks up to hand you your coffee. 😂😘

Weird indeed! My current personal transportation options weigh in order how frequency of use about 2.5, 0.01, 1.5 and 0.009 tons. Some of these are clearly bulkier than the others… (fortunately I don’t leave the house very often).
does anyone else think it's weird that in most of America, whenever you go anywhere, you bring your 3-ton hunk of metal with you? that just seems weird to me

I know the day is going well because I just had a serious and long look in the fridge for my AirPods. Because maybe, right?

Google's "your Android phone got hacked" (?) page - g.co/ABH - has my initials in the URL and somehow that leads people to email me for help. Which is helpful since I was almost down to inbox 9,000. Can't have me go and run out of unread emails now, can we ...
