lots of chatter about "morning routines" but what's your "end of week routine" where you close out Fridays?
Some things I like to do:
- block 2 hours Friday afternoon to process email and attempt to hit inbox ~zero
- review the past week's calendar, think about followups from meetings
- collect todo items, links, and other stuff I email to myself throughout the week into some consolidated notes
- send a note to the team with 3-5 bullets on what I worked on this week (our whole team does this as a Friday ritual), highlighting small wins, outcomes, etc
- go on a walk before the sun goes down!
- if I decide to do an indoor walk instead, I've mostly switched to audiobooks where I have 2-3 items in rotation and run/walk. This is the only way I've been able to fit ~1 hour daily book reading into my cal
- try to wind down by 6pm max, walk the dog, take the wife out to dinner!
What do y'all do that's not on this list?
One takeaway for me is whenever designing a upgrade/payment flow.. don't block people because of internal issues - and if you really must, then give people a reason.
I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians.
I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor.
My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California.
That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people.
Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime.
It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand.
I want to tune out.
But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious.
And I will always be an American before I am a Republican.
That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz.
I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious.
For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing.
The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better.
It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed!
But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems.
It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful.
We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger.
That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz.
Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us.
And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org
@jaffathecake@matthewcp but I must assume I'm misunderstanding (as I often do) and the html that you showed was actually just shadow dom, and not some special elements you need to place to style them..?
@jaffathecake@matthewcp imo, it's a bit of an odd proposal. if you asked normal web devs, most would probably just be happy with being able to style the default select element a bit more like a normal block layout
I'm excited that we're finally getting a customisable <select> on the web. However, there's one detail of it I'm really not sure about, and I'd like to hear your thoughts.
Have your say before it's too late 😀

@jaffathecake@matthewcp ie.. being able to size it more like a div, allow it to have common html nodes etc as children + normal block level pseudo after/before selectors and the option items stylable in the same way
Over the last few months i've received 60+ emails from @photobucket with varying forms of "action required", "warning", "this is your last chance", "for your security" - etc all about my account about to be removed.
I don't even know what I have in there, and I have to pay a monthly subscription just to find out...
If this isn't a sign that photobucket is going in the drain, I don't know what is.
trying to get past all the sound bites and memes
does anyone have a long-form (ideally hour+) interactive interview with Vice President Kamala where we can see her talk, think, respond, argue, parry, etc. -- would def be interesting to watch
if so, link me!?
I'm relieved @KamalaHarris is running for president. Back when she became VP, my immediate thought was: "Man, she'd be a great president"
Here's hoping!
