he U.S. Postal Service wants to weigh in on mail-in voting while struggling to deliver its core product—mail—on time. Before limiting how Americans use the mail, perhaps concentrate on delivering it reliably and on time. Delivery is the core business.

USPS Certified Mail is losing my trust. One important letter never arrived. Now another, mailed Monday within Louisiana, may take a full week to reach its Louisiana destination. Tracking a letter while it crawls through the system isn’t service. First, deliver the mail.

A single bee visits 5,000 flowers a day. Without them, we have no food. Pesticides are killing them. No bees = No food = No future. Protect pollinators.

Bank of America needs to face a class action from its customers over the incredible human time it wastes just to make a payment online. Complaining to the CFPB achieves nothing—the bank knows how to answer with a foolish canned response. And it still isn’t using passkeys. Any lawyers out there?

It's 2026. Users shouldn't have to wonder if their words made it into the text box. Losing focus, dropping keystrokes, and overwriting text are problems we should have solved in the 1990s—not a quarter of the way into the 21st century. #UX #SoftwareDesign

The same goes for Apple. AI features are nice, but the basics still matter. A cursor should stay where I put it. A text box should respond immediately. I shouldn't have to fight the interface to write. Great software starts with getting the fundamentals right. #UX #SoftwareDesign #AI

Tech companies keep chasing the next shiny AI feature while ignoring the fundamentals. If the cursor is in a text box, it should stay there until I move it. I shouldn't have to fight the editor or pound on the keyboard just to type. Fix the core user experience before adding more features. #UX #AI

I bought Microsoft Word to own it, not lease it. Today it refused to edit my own documents because it wanted Microsoft 365. If software can take away functionality you paid for, do you really own it? Microsoft is history for me. Never again.

"André," is a collaborative kinetic sculpture created by artists Amora Doris & Jules Bonnot. It functions as a hand-cranked mutoscope, driving a series of 100 ink illustrations that create a delightful animated scene. IG: @amoradorisplasticienne
