Socialism is what they called public power.  Socialism is what they called social security.    Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.   Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people. —Harry Truman, 1952

I finally got access to Figma's AI tools, and I am pretty sure they have halted development on it. I had heard it was garbage at launch, and it doesn't appear to have gotten any better a year later.

Men will literally start a trade war with every other nation on earth instead of going to therapy.

xAI being valued at 80 billion is laughable. Grok provides zero value in a flooded market of overvalued AI companies.

Does @figma.com support hidden components anymore? I want to use them for situations where I need to swap out variants in a top level component, but the library updates never make it to my design file.

This isn’t Lincoln or Omaha. This is a town of 25,000 people that hasn’t voted for a democrat for president since 1996.

Someone made a Wiley E. Coyote style painted wall to see if Tesla’s autopilot would detect it and well…

Chuck Schumer Helps Pull Democrats Back From Brink Of Courage

Bobby Witt Jr. has a left forearm contusion. X-rays are negative for a fracture. He will be reevaluated in the morning.

What are y’all using to do animations? I want to do some fun micro interactions for AICE, but most tools I’ve seen are way too complex for that kind of work. I recently tried Lottie Lab, but the Figma import and design tools are lacking.

If this is actually happening, what a bunch of children, but honestly based on how Trump and Vance acted on camera toward Zelensky I’m not surprised.

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell. This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Small men always grow angry when they are confronted with the type of man they wish people saw them as, but can never be.

Greg Sharpe, who recently completed his 17th full football season as the lead radio play-by-play broadcaster for the Huskers, was 61. Evan Bland has more on Sharpe: omaha.com/sports/huske... Colleagues and friends remember Sharpe: omaha.com/sports/huske...

Ooooh well played.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉

Welp, there it is. Busboom Kelly is the next coach.

Man, what a career. Coach Cook will be missed at Nebraska. Hope the AD opens up the pocketbook for Busboom.

Jack Hoffman, one of the Huskers' biggest fans and a beacon of hope for many across the United States, has died of cancer. www.ketv.com/article/nebr...

Be me. Be out of town for the holidays. My daughter is up all night with an ear ache. Look up what places are in network for our insurance. Turns out there is literally no urgent cares in network. Call Aetna, get no help. Go to out of network urgent care. Hope deficiency of coverage claim accepted.

Well done RollingStone for reporting it accurately.

Anyone else experiencing 500 errors in @figma.com? I can't access teams or files at all.

Been building a design system, essentially from scratch (some of the tokens being borrowed from other design systems), and it is a ton of fun, but maaaan, the amount of documentation takes time. Always good to remember that design systems start small for a reason.

Meta playing catchup again. Big tech doesn’t know how to innovate any more. It’s all just copy/pasta.

Whenever I feel imposter syndrome as a designer, I’m going to look at this abomination.

What do content designers do? This. #ux #ooux

Design today isn’t about empathy for empathy’s sake. It’s about finding opportunities to build something people will use in a way that will drive business growth. There’s nothing “soft” about it, except maybe the cat memes.

How many boxes did you make this week?

Netflix needs to stop asking if I’m still watching and start asking if I moved the laundry to the dryer

Hidden benefit of alt text (for YOU, the poster): it's searchable! I can't find 90% of my silly design memes on the dead bird website but here they are all at my fingertips because I can just search for their content

This is the worst version of the game I’ve ever played.

Would love some help from folks on this one. I’m also not seeing much in the way of fitness feeds. Hopefully adding a few hashtags helps with reach. #fitness #homegym #weightlifting

This thing is beautiful.

Bluesky is currently the #1 free app on the Top charts 🔵 Twitter (X) is no longer in the top 25

How does #designsky feel about these components in website builders?

I was super pumped for the new Arcane season till I realized I remembered next to nothing of what happened in season 1, and the recap was awful. Why do these streaming services take so long to release a new season? It’s been 3 years.

I’ve been doing research on building a home gym and one of the things that’s recommended is rubber flooring or rubber mats. What do I do if literally everything is carpeted and my garage isn’t an option?
