When I see this all I see is clutter. Hard to read text, my eyes aren’t sure where to go, annoying fonts. Ugh.
Wait… are y’all suggesting that The Verge has bad taste in design and user experience???
You know what that reminds me of? Magazine layout after the graphic designers got their hold on Quark XPress and/or Adobe InDesign.
I’m not the biggest fan of The Verge, but it was a daily stop for me.
I can’t digest the new site. I’m really trying to quell the whole ‘change is bad’ reaction people have when sites redesign. So I won’t call it bad, but I personally am just totally lost when I hit the page and not sure how much longer it will take me to adjust

I don’t know why I do this to myself but I read the article. If anybody’s wondering, the couple’s spiritual journey ends with them buying a brand new $2.7 million luxury condo that has “positive feelings”.
My spiritual journey would probably be pretty good if I could buy a $2.7 million condo.

How long a spiritual journey can I get for (checks pockets) 53 cents?
In fairness to the headline writer, there was a point in time it wasn’t a crime in Germany.
This is not the WaPo getting better.
Balko had been doing stories every week or two, then out of nowhere it was a month+ in gaps and now he’s gone. Wish I knew the full picture, but I liked his stuff.

Balko is one of the best out there and WaPo axing him so we can get more hot takes from idiots is a huge negative.
Heh. I remember the first car I got with TPMS. That indicator came on a few months later and I was very much “WTF is that icon???” That was over a decade ago though. Definitely a little weirder to not recognize it now.

Also weird to post it to Twitter instead of Googling it.
But apparently I’m the weird one who encounters something strange or unknown and my go-to isn’t to ask random strangers first, based on some of the stuff I see on the internet.
Edit: And my current car was the first car I’ve owned that had this light. The second I saw it I pretty much knew what it was, but wasn’t sure, so I looked at my tires and thought: “I was right, it’s a tire pressure indicator”. I also saw it a shitload because one of the tires had a slow leak so for that entire winter I had to top off every 3 days or so.
