It's never been easier to lie about your taste in music with... Spotify ReWrapped! https://spotify-rewrapped.pages.dev/

They say putting googly eyes on food prevents food waste.

turns out i did a lot of cool weird things in 2024

While other people take pics of fireworks, I like to take pics of people taking pics of fireworks.

I loved meeting all the creative, brilliant weirdos on here 😭. Posts was such a breath of fresh air. 

Let’s connect on that Bluesky place 🤷‍♀️: @melkdesigns.bsky.social

Refreshing for once to see this raw copy on a corporate website.

If you can’t handle me at my desktop, then you don’t deserve me at my downloads folder.

Half of my excitement for the Olympics is when there’s a great uniform design collab like this. Criola x Adidas for the Brazilian Skate team: https://www.instagram.com/p/C9yNgGyxaFm/?igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==

The news that Southwest is retiring open seating makes me SAD. That airline has consistently provided me some of the most personal, special service experiences I’ve had, and even made me an evangelist for the brand. Hope they change their mind 🤷‍♀️.

Budgets are opening. This is the month to apply for jobs! 🏃🏻‍♀️💨

HELP! What are your favorite low-cost website feedback tools? I want to install something like HotJar to visualize user behavior AND Medallia to get quantitative feedback. 

This is for a new website for an existing small-mid size business that uses Shopify for global e-commerce.

Thank you, emojis, for existing at a time like this so I can accurately describe my state at a moment when words fail. 😱😭🤗

Is it worth it? I don’t think so. https://www.wired.com/story/ai-energy-demands-water-impact-internet-hyper-consumption-era/

The longest email subject line I’ve ever seen! Content Strategists what do you say?

Bitcoin consumes the entire annual electricity consumption of the Netherlands, per year! And by 2027, AI servers are predicted to consume the same as Norway. Thank you Effective Accelerationists, full throttle ahead. Things are going great.

Leaf blowers 🍂 💨 are the worst modern invention besides lots of other things.

Does anyone else’s files permanently live in your downloads folder?

One call, that’s all! Great marketing as these shirts are ubiquitous.

Can’t stop thinking about our community in LA. I’m so sorry this is happening!

Finally gonna use this non-ironic chalice that I got 20 years ago.

Who has been to Toronto and can recommend cheap and authentic things to do? Bonus if it involves noods.

I appreciate the nostalgic branding here, but when your parents have a history of ignoring expiration dates (decades), this does not inspire confidence.

I love this ad, how cute, direct and large it is, and how it is so prominently located in a subway stop.
