I teach product design organizations to think like brands and vice versa. Tweeting about design systems, media, politics, and hockey. Misanthrope.

I can't explain how surreal it is to see a @TheFP billboard in Times Square is given this all started at a kitchen table....



The lesson behind Argentina’s miracle recovery — after rolling back socialism trib.al/RVl0WuV






Is this like a religious point? That there is some great plan out there, a supreme being dictating the actions of billions of people all at once? That's the only way in which I could possibly understand someone thinking that "the economy was designed".

Just to add some nuance to the propaganda here. If you look at the median rather than the mean, which is what actually reflects how most people live, the picture changes quite a bit. Once you also account for unavoidable out of pocket costs like healthcare and education, life in the US looks much more average, and often falls behind Northern European countries for the typical person. The US model clearly creates immense wealth at the very top, but for the vast majority of people, median living standards are what really matter. And by that measure, the story is far less impressive than it is often made out to be.

✈️ Within a minute, the IDF eliminated 180+ Hezbollah terrorists in 3 areas simultaneously in a large-scale strike based on precise and high-quality intelligence. ~100 targets were struck simultaneously across Beirut, the Beqaa, and southern Lebanon, including main command centers, military structures used by Hezbollah commanders and multiple terror infrastructure sites used by top Hezbollah operatives. Prior to the strikes, steps were taken to mitigate harm to uninvolved civilians as much as possible, including using precise ammunition and aerial surveillance.
