Well it only took 8 years but I finally have a portfolio site again. Check it out, tell your loved ones, indiscriminately shoot guns off in the air in an act of celebration: stuctaylor.com

@TadCarpenter Turd Crapenter is going to absolutely roast y’all.

Honored and terrified to have our rebrand of Fishetarian Fish market on Brand New this week: underconsideration.com/brandnew/archi…

@Joshua_Ariza “Swallowed” is quite the choice

free her

Right there with ya ⁦@el__dick⁩ and ⁦@Joshua_Ariza⁩

@jaybsauceda Also love using an AI image to talk about how great things used to be

Austin has events that look like this seemingly every week. Go outside and meet your neighbors.

@tomjohndesign @Joshua_Ariza Didn’t say software wasn’t a product. Have a good day!

@stuctaylor @Joshua_Ariza I think you’re digging your heels in unnecessarily. It’s a product. We design it. Saying that software isn’t a product is dumb.

I was unaware that designers make things without intent to publish

@tomjohndesign @Joshua_Ariza I would argue that “product” can be—and over the course of human industry, has been—broadly applied to far more physical manifestations than digital ones therefore it feels disconnected when “product designer” means someone designing in the digital space.

@stuctaylor @Joshua_Ariza Product: something (such as a service) that is marketed or sold as a commodity. Would you say you’re not using a product right now? That’s software is not one? Do Google, Microsoft, etc not make products? What’s the point of having this distinction?

@tomjohndesign @Joshua_Ariza “Product” has traditionally been used to describe a physical item that people interact with. It seems like a much more apt description for an industrial designer. I’ve always felt like “product” was co-opted by the UX/digital design crowd simply because the term was available.

@stuctaylor @Joshua_Ariza Genuinely curious, how is it confusing to be called a product designer? Seems the most accurate description I’ve found.

@NotJackKemp I always strive to pass the guac test. I don’t need a mansion or fancy cars, I just want to be able to add guacamole to my Chipotle bowl whenever I feel like it.

people will often ask me “hey how’s stuff going since you left the ticket, how’s business” and I just picked up the six-month supply of contacts instead of the three-month for the first time, so uh yeah, I’d say *pretty* good

@TadCarpenter Alright, I’ll give you this one.

Gwen Stefani has definitely never been a graphic designer because we have SO MUCH Doubt.

@BiasedSlightly Thought you were holding a Super Soaker

shit makes me emotional

I’m not remotely qualified for this but this looks like a super fun gig.

Fun Fact: Cooper Flagg has the most points in a game by an 18 year old and the most points in a game by a 19 year old.

Alright, who in the Mavs front office has dirt on The Athletic? @NickVanExit @IsaacLHarris @BiasedSlightly @NotJackKemp

I watched the debate. This clip omits the whole quote: “Our border should be like our front porch. There should be a giant welcome mat out front and a lock on the door. We should have a pathway to citizenship and keep out people who do us harm.”

It is time for Christians to unite in calling for an end to policies that harm our neighbors, in opposing ICE as they terrorize families and detain children, in prosecuting everyone who perpetrates these atrocities, and in reclaiming the name of Jesus from those who have hijacked it to justify cruelty. History will remember where Christians stood in this moment. Our children will ask us what we did when fascism came to America wrapped in the flag and carrying a cross.

@NickVanExit Dang. The wave is high and tight tonight!

How did you feel seeing Luka Doncic's 2nd return compared to the 1st time?

Actually incredible thing to say as the president of America
