Tip: if you've previously subscribed to @heyjasperai and have canceled your subscription, make sure to set things up so they can't charge your card. Why? I canceled, and their their billing system just tried to charge me anyway.

Bonus: LinkedIn almost works in the browser. Links open directly, in the browser.

What happened to twitter's preview cards, and why are they so terrible all of a sudden? They look like photos now.

Når det tar mer enn fem timer å rydde etter en trafikkulykke, hvorfor har vi ikke systemer som varsler bilister, og råder dem til å velge en alternativ rute, langt unna skadestedet? Til slikt trengs ikke et fullblods ITS-system, bare bedre info samarbeid. @VegvesenOst

Great thought for day KURT VONNEGUT: I went out to buy an envelope ~ Oh, my wife says,  well, you're not a poor man, You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And, see some great looking babes. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is, is we're here on Earth to fart around. And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And, what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And, we're not supposed to dance at all anymore. ~ Kurt Vonnegut 100%

Loving the Slack redesign (really!) but wondering why the 0"💬Threads" tab doesn't display threads you've _contributed to_ but not yet received follow-up in. So odd.

It's been so long since I posted something on a phpBB forum that I forgot that yes, it will gladly lose your whole post when you hit "Submit". Modern web apps with autosave are the best!

Yes, modern interaction design is going swimmingly well. Top marks all around.

That’s a lot of Abigails! Is this level of synthetic activity the new normal?

The first two are somewhat akin to the style of Bill Finger & Jerry Robinson, whereas the last to are quite close to Frank Miller's pen. Prompting etc will improve over time, but still.

We desperately need better stock photos for AI / tech. Here, touching the screen somehow creates lens flare, instead of a smudge

This technique is genuinely novel, and great fun (if you don't see it, zoom out).
