Been up an hour and our dogs ability to deep sleep at any moment still amazes me

Michael@donohoe· 8d

Same. Maybe it only knows three character? Apparently I’m not a beautiful or unique snowflake

Occasionally I wonder if I could join the NYT Games team and add basic offline support the roadmap. No reason why you shouldn’t be able to continue your crossword or sudoku etc with no internet. People get bored on airplanes and subways.

Screenshot of trying to open a in-progress sudoku game in iOS NYT Games app. Blank orange screen with spinner in center. No ‘back’ button.

This is my life now. Just bailing. Me and Boxzilla. Boxes fear me.

The bailer, almost full of chatter cardboard boxes at the Park Slope Food Coop in Brooklyn, NY.

I'm at @sideprojectsaturday.com working on a #atproto based bookmarking service. I'm currently focused on the UX for archived posts - anyone have glowing examples of their favorite design/aesthetic/features that make sense for an mvp?

Screenshot of web page for "302". It shows a sidebar of options on left side, the main content is an archived post with title, byline, featured image and first few lines of content in-view.

This will never get old. Not being sarcastic.

Cartoon panel of boy being chased around table by two wolves. Caption reads: Luposlipaphobia is the fear of being pursued by timber wolves around a kitchen table while wearing socks on a newly waxed floor.

Sorry, couldn't resist. Would applaud if someone figured it out.

Four panels of frames from TV show Arrest Development:
Man: Random people on the socials think they are special and can solve consumer micro payments
Woman: Did it work for those people?
Man: No, it never does... but it might work for us.

I can never donate to a political campaign again because of this. It’s taken me years to reduce the flood of these texts to current still-annoying levels.

iMessage screenshot of message from phone number starting 213 : “Barack Obama just inspired a House majority MIRACLE! (Trump is FREAKING OUT!!)
Look at Obama's MAJOR comeback: LINK DemocracyHQ End2End”

Walking the dog through the depths of NYC

View of the lake at sunset at Prospect Park, Brooklyn

Cute small white dog sitting, but looking up directly into camera.

I had no about this, and the implication, but the headline is just the start "Cyclospora Spreads Through Human Feces. How Did It Get Into Our Food Supply?" www.nytimes.com/2026/07/21/w...

Highlighted text: Then, a leak in a septic system or heavy rainfall might have somehow allowed human waste to seep into water that was used to irrigate crops.

I would be so happy to have my laptop right now but I appreciate taking a break and staving off burnout

Photo of lake beach. No people, blue waters, trees in distant shoreline, big blue clear skies.

The eldest child unit graduates from High School today and I have all the feelings

Scenes from Arrested Development TV series:

Person 1: Every media company eventually decides its requirements are too unique for off-the-shelf software.

Person 2: Did it work for those people?

Person 1: No, it never does.

Person 1: ...but it might work for us.

Of all thing things I was hoping they’d explain this plastic packet on the wall…

Of course switching from t-shirt to full suit when it was 82 out feels short-sighted now, the situation required it. Thankfully a tad lower now and Q train AC helps

Friday night in NYC and the lady and I are not staying in

Cha-Ching! My personal information is my retirement strategy

Michael@donohoe· Jun 8

I think it boils down to: is there a more comprehensive lexicon that already exists that I can leverage for better interoperability - rather than inventing a new flavor?
