Three episodes in, and I’m impressed. It strikes a great balance in tone, some weird mix of humour, fear, and existential dread. Keen to see how it develops.

Started building a new website for TRANSCRIPT 👀

Why is there such a huge discrepancy between weather data from these different sources? (this is Hello Weather, using data from Apple, AccuWeather and Foreca) 🌞

In-between things, I find myself re-reading Bird by Bird for the gazillionth time, that little, perfectly written writing bible that helps fight doubt, anguish, perfectionism. www.trema.website/anne-lamott-...

Still thinking about what an eviscerating insult "This book reads as if it were punched into a phone while the author was hiking" would be if it appeared in a review.

Just surpassed 1,000 visitors to Trema, my publication on books worth reading, since analytics were introduced in @ghost.org on June 1st. → trema.website 📚

Ik probeer de literatuur te spekken en wat @dasmag.nl boeken te bestellen, maar die website!? Kan haast niet slechter 🥲 — waar is mijn winkelwagen? Er zitten twee boeken in, maar ik kan ze niet terugvinden.

I always come back to this. nicolasjaar.bandcamp.com/album/pomegr...

Wrote a few words about day one of my weeklong residency, here in Aulus-les-Bains. www.daniel.pizza/journal/camp...

a “Space Force”, if you will

TIL simply having a boarding pass in your Apple Wallet and displayed on your home screen is a massive battery drain 🫠

My partner, @meganpearson.bsky.social, is talking about and demoing @raycast.com tomorrow, at their meetup in Amsterdam. It’ll be fun: she’ll show you how to use your computer muuuuch more smartly 👾 RSVP for free! luma.com/diq5vla1?loc...

[vibe]coded a little Strava integration on my /now page, mimicking the one I use to display my recent GitHub contributions. → www.daniel.pizza/now/

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Getting into running to supplement the tennis I play, especially in winter, when the weather often disrupts the possibilities for play. Running shoes are insane, they all seem like they were made in a distant future.

My friend Iris, with whom I make TRANSCRIPT, has started a newsletter. It's called Easy Puddings, and you can read its first issue here: buttondown.com/EasyPuddings... 🌞

It’s Matthew Carter’s typeface, Shelley (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/27...), but like much Word Art it’s been artificially bolded. But the White House has a Chief Calligrapher (en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...), so why not have her do something proper? (Unless she’s been laid off like everyone else.)

No matter how poor our form is, the rendition of You’ll Never Walk Alone at Anfield never ceases to amaze. Up the reds ❤️

Wrote a new post about Teju Cole's “Open City”, a novel that reads like a great essay might, pulling in references to art, music, literature and history, weaving in facts and stories, building a collage that invites further discovery beyond its pages. I loved it 💞 www.trema.website/teju-cole-op...

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

I wish @obsidian.md allowed comments. Is there a great plugin I'm unaware of that I should look at? When I write, I like to use comments as notes to myself (quotes, further reading, etc.). I prefer them not to distract from the text, available in a sidebar (perhaps), for referencing when I need to.

A few snaps from September, when we participated in Mag to Mag, the magazine fair for independent publishers in Milan 🇮🇹

Still surprised to see how many websites in 2025 don't have proper hover states. For clarity, yes, but also just for making the thing feel *alive*. Big chunk of the web still feels like I'm hovering a poster.

Over the past months I've written and edited the NoGood book—it's been a very enjoyable collaboration, and I can't wait to see this thing in print ✨

This may well have been the worst Liverpool performance I’ve seen in… years? 🥲 Puzzling, mind boggling stuff.

This comment on the (drumless) Caribou, Floating Points and Fred Again mix sums it up well → youtu.be/TEp-Uk3Dfx4?...

One could argue that you took a wrong turn at some point if you feel the need to offer a setting to disable the primary USP of your design language. www.macrumors.com/2025/10/20/i...

The Oh No Book looks lovely. Not sure if it's a tad too specific to folks wanting to create typefaces for me to purchase, but it might make a nice addition to our workspace's coffee table. ohnotype.co/info/book

Zie hier de rol van de media in het voeden van de migratieobsessie en sensatiezucht als verdienmodel.

We ran the fourth and final TRANSCRIPT event last night. Great, great fun—looking forward to finding out what our next incarnation will be 💭

Time for new Solange? It's been a minute 🥺

This week I've started getting involved with product design at enode.io, back in the same room (ish) with my pal Kristian Hjelle—four years after our paths diverged at Bakken & Bæck 🫶

Is the irony of the president’s friend buying something called “the free press” and immediately installing a government truth compliance officer lost on everybody?

Yup, second that. Lovely fella, great designer, and knows more about obscure films than anyone you’ll ever meet. Djordje on your design team is A Good Time 🤗

I've thought a lot about the scene in A Clockwork Orange where Alex finds out that the droogs he used to rampage with are now policemen

I made some changes to the RSS feeds on my website. If you were following via RSS, have a read, and re-subscribe to continue reading. Thank you! www.daniel.pizza/journal/merg...

Please - stop doing the screenshot no link thing on Bluesky. This platform does not punish you for posting a URL. You picked up the habit from Meta apps? Stop doing Mark Z's bidding. Link ESPECIALLY to authors, reporters, bloggers, etc. where you quote the work.

I’m looking for my next product design role ✌️ - 10+ years of experience designing software - Open to both full-time roles and contract work - Ideally remote, but open to on-site roles if it’s the right fit More info here: djordje.work

I’ve been trialing @thestorygraph.com. The app is clunky, and difficult and confusing to use at times. Its design is too finicky and, as seen here, a little cheesy, but … I … appreciate it. They get away with it. Not everything needs to be polished and perfect.

My personal website featured on @maxibestof.one—thank you! → maxibestof.one/websites/771...

I’ve gone and read a few of the posts DHH wrote, as mentioned here—despicable. Completely lost the plot. It was to be expected after the 2021 meltdown of Basecamp, but here we are.

We’re launching the fourth and final issue of TRANSCRIPT in Amsterdam on October 10th. There will be readings, an audiovisual intermezzo, music and drinks. If you can make it, I’d love to welcome you! 🫶 luma.com/cpeqs1fd?loc...

If international trains are to compete with air travel, I think the role of software cannot be understated. The experience of booking an international train (or getting information while traveling) is often so poor, the frustration can be incredibly off-putting.
