It was always my hope to write something that helped the broader world understand the stakes involved in UX...

User Friendly by @cliffkuang. Covers the consequences of getting UX right from self driving cars to nuclear power plants. A brilliant, seminal work in my opinion.

BREAKING: Ken Burns just delivered the clearest and strongest arguments for why we need to stop Donald Trump in November. Burns has long remained politically neutral, but not this time. The stakes are too high. Retweet so all Americans see.

Coco Gauff says she believes in climate change & can’t be mad at the protesters: “I believe in climate change. I don’t know exactly what they were protesting.. I 100% believe there are things we could do better. Would I prefer it not happening in my match? 100%. It is what it is.. moments like this are history defining moments. I wasn’t pissed at the protesters. I always speak about preaching what you believe in. It was done in a peaceful way. I can’t get too mad at it.. if that’s what they felt they needed to do to get their voices heard I can’t really get upset at it.” ❤️

We should all be furious that as a summer of climate fueled event wreaks havok on our planet more isn't being done to stem the tide. Record heatwaves, record floods, record droughts, record wildfires. How many more records before we #ActOnClimate? #climate #renewables

Okay, the Mountain Valley Pipeline approval is a blow. I get it. But once we’ve put this MAGA default threat behind us, we’ll need to focus on four things.

* First, make a signifcant public policy decision. * Then, execute on it. In this case reclassifying NPR as state broadcasting. * Finally, research your decision and get the basic facts. npr.org/2023/04/06/116845584…

Elon Musk says NPR's 'state-affiliated media' label might not have been accurate

In a series of emails with an NPR reporter, the CEO of Twitter suggested that the designation is being re-examined, but it has not yet been removed.

I found the recent @nytimes opinion piece on AI by @harari_yuval @tristanharris @aza very interesting and I agree with some of the overall thrust and points but object to MANY of the important details. So, time for a 🧵 detailing my critiques: nytimes.com/2023/03/24/opini…

Today me and many of my talented colleagues from Google's Insight+Innovation team were let go. Grateful for the exciting ride.✌️ My heart goes out to all those affected. I'm still processing, but in every end is a new beginning. I'm looking forward to discovering what's next.
