“Apple’s Tim Cook is among a group of CEOs being eviscerated for traveling to the White House on the same day Border Patrol agents killed a Veterans Affairs nurse in Minneapolis.

"Cook, who gifted President Donald Trump a 24-karat gold desk ornament on his last White House visit, returned on Saturday to attend a dinner and screening of the first lady’s new documentary, ‘Melania.’”

When we look back on his leadership in the future, let this be Tim Cook's legacy.

@danielsaidi Thanks! It was a pain in the but to get those image animations to scale properly across iOS/iPad & visionOS but i'm pretty happy with the results. Most importantly my signup conversions have increased.

Introducing my partner (Sociologist professor with ZERO interest in SW) to Star Wars by pitching her on Andor. But first I suggested she watch Rouge One before we started Andor and she really liked it!

Starting Andor S1 tonight. Wish me luck 🤞🏽 #StarWars

@danielsaidi I love OnboardingKit! I use it Chunk for popovers.

Not to stroke my own ego, but I recently redesigned my onboarding, taking inspiration from Apple’s “Invite” app. Would be cool to have something modular and flexible similar to this style if possible.
