24. :facepalm:

26. “Clearly this wasn’t implemented properly and we have disabled this feature for now.” buzzfeednews.com/article/ryanma…
27. Deep inside my public library, I found this oldie, but goldie from 1994.
28.
29. Sort of the inverse of some of the above, but this entire thread is too good to pass up.
30. “Facebook started testing an auto comment feature and promptly disabled it after users called the tool’s suggested comments on news coverage of a shooting «dystopian.»”

A few tiny things I learned about London Underground today that delighted me, a small thread:
1. There’s a station called Farrington that was recently massively upgraded, but it’s been done in a way that the new entrance is opposite the preserved old entrance, so the past and the future are literally staring each other in the face:
2. Interestingly (but unsurprisingly) given the “London Underground” name there is a separate map denoting which parts of it are in tunnels, designed to help users with claustrophobia or other anxiety conditions.

Mind blown, but also:

If a design detail is so invisible no one knows about it, is it a failure?
We’ve seen this not so long ago with the “hold space to move cursor” trick in iOS, too.

“Where have you been all my life” years down the road doesn’t feel like a good UI strategy.
This feels different to me than “hey, there’s an arrow in the FedEx logo” (smile in the Amazon logo, bear in the Toblerone logo, whatever). Too many things end up feeling like Easter eggs, even though there is a long gradient between an Easter egg and something truly crucial.

I just finished a story about ghost stations in San Francisco.

I was inspired after my little Forest Hill station thread, and then I found some really great photos and cool stories about the early wild years of SF transit plans, streetcars, and tunnels.

So many thanks to @enf for help with research, and encouragement, and proof reading – and the massive/impressive SF archives he collected over the years.

Also thanks to @outsidelandz. This tweet/photo jumpstarted the whole project:
(If you ever wondered about the weird way J Church goes in between the houses, or about the abandoned tunnels on the side of Market Street, or about the footbridge in Dolores Park… this post might shed some light!)
