I coincidentally walked past on my way to an appointment at 4p and honestly the way the place was crawling with emergency cycles made me think there was a shooting or something. Haven’t seen this kind of police presence in NYC since the BLM protests in 2020.

Here’s mine!

Smart launcher and crayon icons

In terms of money and business, my fav is how Xerox didn’t know how to market/capitalize on what was effectively the first personal computer before personal computers were even a concept, which is estimated to be a $1.4 trillion mistake.

What launcher and icon pack is this?

What launcher is this?

I’m in marketing haha, I joke that I’m my parent’s IT person, but that’s just about as technical as I get

I pinched a nerve in my back late last week and today was the first morning I woke up without any immediate pain, so that’s progress at least

I’m hybrid and I only go into the office once a week, though I live near the downtown area. We have (compared to the rest of the US) a fairly robust public transit system, a bustling tourism industry, and I think around 100 universities with the students that entails. Between students, tourists, and the extremely wealthy, I don’t see our downtown slowing down anytime soon.

I’ve noticed that storefronts are cycling through more frequently than they did in the past, but empty storefronts are very quick to get rented back out. Rents are definitely unaffordable, but I’ve noticed that for people who actually live here, many are willing to live a little further out and take public transit in to experience downtown outside of needing to be here for work.

Disclosure that this last point definitely doesn’t apply to me, but I’m also seeing a lot of people who actually go out of their way to go into the office now. With roommate situations and tiny apartments, I’m hearing more and more about people who are hybrid or fully remote, but actually enjoy a big working space with what might actually be more peace and quiet than they’d find at home.

I’ve never felt so called out in my life

My partner and I got a beach house for a long weekend so we’re planning on doing a whole lotta nothing!
