I found out that Slack shows a "So happy you're here!", "Welcome to the team!", or similar banner on your profile if you set a start date within the last month. I appreciate that there was probably a meeting or two and a combined UI/UX/graphics effort just to make this happen.

Spent ~1 hour figuring out what a hotkey was triggering on macOS: Settings just said it was in use, the only dedicated app I found was outdated, and even disabling SIP to use opensnoop didn't help. Turns out it was in a nested menu all along. Could this please be made more transparent in the future?

I was mildly excited that it was a postal van that slowed down and flashed its headlights to let me cross when I wasn’t even at a crossing. Two things I like in one scene.

A glimpse of my walk yesterday, when I realized DC could be beautiful even while close-ish to a metro station and major streets.

If you don't want to commit to another platform or manually post on multiple sites, this is a quick reminder that cross-posting tools exist, e.g. Buffer.

It doesn't address content engagement, but making content more widely available feels like a good start.

I'm impressed that my grocery delivery, which due to my mistake was left outside on a commercial street with plenty of foot traffic for over an hour (in an open shopping bag!), was completely untouched. +1 faith in humanity.

I appreciate the near lack of advertisements on platform walls of the DC Metro, with a few escalator walls featuring poetry instead. While limited in other ways, this and the lower fares compared to e.g. London make it feel a bit more like a public service than a business to me.

A great take on the promises being delivered (or not) by this Indian government's economic reforms, and favouritism alongside protectionism diverging from the East Asian model.
