My cartoon for this week’s New Scientist magazine.
I listen to a local radio blasting the most random hits. I swear they use shuffle mode on their playlist!
do you like do listen to music while showering
if yes, what kind of music do you listen to
When something is free, you're the product!
my new role at work just dropped
my first act as product is to change all fonts on tumblr to magenta comic sans
Not to mention that by killing weak spiders you've been able to spot, you're reinforcing the spiders' gene pool, increasing the chance that one day YOU will be the one killed by a sneaky super-spider.
i just saved a spider in my room instead of killing it. my connection with nature has increased by 27%
crossed 3,000 pull requests last week in the tumblr backend repo 📈 good eight year anniversary metric. that's 375 PRs per year, more than 1 per day. woweeee.
Longest application process ever. So many interview rounds. So much traveling.
Dearest Tumblr!
I have returned from my meditative retreat atop the secluded mountain of the Pikaman, to resume my duties as Chief Merch Officer of the @emporium.
But Abstract Reactions will forever be in my heart — I’m even considering getting them tattooed!
Just to refresh your memories, on April 1st, Tumblr provided you with a bunch of Reactions to use on posts! Specifically, the emojis I had most recently used on my phone… I’m SO proud of how much incredible ENGAGEMENT the product received.
Over 100,000 of you spirited react-ers participated — and how many reactions did everyone use, you might wonder? Well, wonder no longer, I’ll tell ya!
🐛 was used over 20 million times.
🧀 was used over 7 million times.
🦀 was used over 3.8 million times.
And tied for fourth, 4️⃣ and 👻 and 🐴 were used over 2 million times each!
The special SUPER reactions of 🦄, Pikaman, 🍪, and even me, Brick myself, were unlocked over 15,000 times!
And at least one clever person figured out that I never thought about checking if someone could send negative reactions, so it turns out someone sent in over 120 million negative 🧀 reactions! So many cheesed posts got un-cheesed with that anti-cheese — and you know what, I’m not even mad about it!
Here’s to 🐛! Cheers!
Yours clickingly, Brick
But at least they serve espresso in espresso cups here, yes?

Every time I see a bunch of posts from Neil Gaiman on my feed I think, "Neil... you're procrastinating writing again, aren't you"

The French president Macron is trying to raise their retirement age from 62 to 64 (and 67 for some?). French people have protested peacefully for 2 months but yesterday his government went ahead and invoked an article in their constitution that allows them to force the bill past the National Assembly without letting its deputies vote on it. Now Paris is burning ☺️
The trash collectors have gone on strike and so 7000+ tons of garbage has been piling up in the streets, then they get set on fire by protestors at night ☺️

If you’re wondering - “Retirement age at just 64 and they’re burning shit down? In my country I can’t retire until 65/67/70+!!”
French people have kept it low BECAUSE they burn shit down if it’s threatened ☺️
You should read this article. Honestly. You’ll thank me later.

I’m Ngl I know people want the bots gone and the tumblr staff to focus on that instead of fun stuff, but two things:
A) Bots are extraordinarily difficult to get rid of. It’s like trench warfare and bots adapt to every new security measure you might take. The staff want them gone as much as you do if not more because it probably actually affects their daily job tasks lol
B) Fun shit like checkmarks and vanilla extract tumblers help fund the site so we don’t have to have ads that suck on it.
I know you want a better experience, but the staff are probably working on multiple things at the same time. Fun shit and maintenance shit. And they’re probably doing everything they can. Re-fucking-lax.
