I'm trying out Lucida Console as a coding font and I'm finding that it's extremely legible at small sizes. There are also bold and italic variants available these days.

‘Understanding how much Epstein clearly loathed [Lawrence] Krauss is essential to truly appreciating this next email from 2017, which reveals that at some point, Krauss assumed that Epstein was going to help him make a vampire movie called “Vampire Noir.”’ Oh I would love to see this script […]

I wonder if when people say "em dashes are a sign of AI," they mean a true em dash character rather than two hyphens.

Yes there are countless songs that use this chord progression, but this is the one Springsteen's new song immediately made me think of: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d0NxhFn0szc

The first and only time I saw Bruce Springsteen live was at a John Kerry rally in Cleveland the night before the 2004 election.

In a first for me I just saw someone on the street smoking a cigarette through a surgical mask. Not over the edge of it -- through it.

I find it so curious that #mermaidjs, for whatever reason, uses Trebuchet MS as its default font when rendering graphs -- not Arial, the (unfortunately) obvious choice. No matter where one shows up, there's Trebuchet: gangly and unmistakable. #typography

Signs on stamps; what's not to like. As part of the centenary celebrations for Route 66 the United States Postal Service is issuing this series of stamps that prominantly feature neon and motel signs. I'd love to know if this is a first, or if signs on stamps […] [Original post on typo.social]

Media Log: The Testament of Ann Lee (Mona Fastvold, 2025) ★★★☆ Watched: Jan 19, 2026 On 70mm! At times beautiful, but ultimately unconvincing. Aside from that: Josephine Foster is in this movie. #nowwatching #movies #medialog

I feel like the federated nature of...erm, the fediverse is difficult to explain, but once understood makes complete sense.
