Made a site comparing the sizes of living things :) The great Julius Csotonyi spent 5 months painting over 60 illustrations for the site, no ai used > neal.fun/size-of-life/

Just waiting on my GP to send me a ‘your year wrapped’. Hope the devs were allowed to put some digital confetti in there.

A friend of mine wanted to sell some of my pottery in his shop, and so I gave him a few pieces. They have nearly all sold, and I’m overjoyed on one hand. On the other hand my desire to keep doing the day job is now at an all time low.

This is such a joy of a book for Beatles fans. Obsessively deep analysis of their work. It occupies a similar place in my heart as @andrewhickey.500songs.com’s work.

I fucking love memes you can understand through the language barrier, holy shit

Testing a thing I’ve made. My blue for ‘It’s All Over Now, Baby Blue’ by Them. colourgame.jackanapes.org/share/k573qv...

It’s for a thing… Songs with colours in their title/chorus (extra points if they’re songs you have a particularly strong opinion about the colour involved). Eg. Is your golden brown deep and brassy, or bright and lustrous?

My initial reaction to this take was a knee jerk ‘Oh really? Not, perhaps the walled gardens of BigTech’s social media?’ But @youngvulgarian.marieleconte.com helpfully clarifies further in-thread that she meant the entire fucking internet took us further from God. No notes.

Pluribus seems to be heading straight into the category of things that for me are fine enough and engaging during the watching but occupy next to no serious thought outside of it. FWIW I had the same issue with Better Call Saul.

have we all seen Noah Smith managing to book a flight from Dublin to Paris with a 90 minute layover in London and concluding this demonstrates Britain is doomed

Bit obsessed with the idea that big tech is trading software’s asset-light advantage for utility-like capital intensity. Massive GPU spending will hit hard as depreciation whilst AI productivity gains prove illusory and are really just induced demand for low-value features.

In my experience, the people who adore new tech very rarely understand other humans. And even more rarely have any developed sense of taste.

One of the things that Australia really excels at is consumer protection.

Fresh from the oven, and still crackling.

I love that Mamdani is what the right claimed Obama was: A Muslim socialist born in Africa. The right practically manifested Mamdani into existence.

Ten things I took away from one remarkable, history-making moment. Turn the volume up. www.anildash.com/2025/11/05/t...

If you don’t know how to behave in a pub, you don’t know how to behave in society. Be the punter who takes the empties back to the bar.

Stunning. Then read what it took to create it.

On this day in 1981, I was taking photos of Depeche Mode at the Locarno in Birmingham. Here are some from the soundcheck, backstage and the show (THREAD)

Was thinking this seems pertinent to UK politics too. Too much political energy has been caught by marketing-brain people who fell in love with advertising/social platforms.

If it’s any barometer, I’m turning down some incredible home swaps simply because they’re in America.

Hear me out Slow Horses but Muppets, Jackson Lamb the only human

He’s designing the ballroom with AI isn’t he www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Negative something. Many of these I will go out of my way to eat.

@stachopeter.bsky.social 👀

this is a fearless, clear, alarming explainer by @edwardluce.bsky.social on how Trump is trampling over democratic norms in the USA www.ft.com/content/1377...

I was intrigued to see which two of the Vatican’s ten Raphael tapestries were chosen for today’s unprecedented service in the Sistine Chapel. The tapestries are very rarely shown - was Pope Leo XIV conveying any message in the choice? 🧵

This you @croxton.bsky.social ?

“putting a portico at the end of a long facade and not in the center is what one might say is untutored.” If you ever wondered about the architect of Trump’s monstrous carbuncle. Wild to me that he worked under Peter Eisenman and seemingly learnt nothing. www.punchlistmag.com/p/what-to-kn...

Kind of wish I hadn't stumbled across that Rail Clock. What a missed opportunity.

‘Rationalism is to Silicon Valley as Scientology is to Hollywood’ killed me.

The decisiveness is by design. We plant ourselves in neatly delineated camps, all sorted and ready to have ads posted for us. That’s what social media wants. Excellent thoughts from @jonnelledge.bsky.social

These ‘unhinged literary opinions’ are tending towards laboriously hinged.

Look, we hate craft beer as much as the next person but it's rapidly approaching the end of 2025 and we've just seen a fairly well known satirical spoof news site doing a story about how there's lots of IPAs with stupid names and hipsters like them. Mind boggling.

Hello again, sleep paralysis.

It is good.

Look at these beauties!

Now folks, we're just going to ignore the goatse in plain view because this looks like a cracking playlist.

he’s gonna end up inventing antisemitism from first principles lmao

Skyscanner yet again are looking for a leader to help transform their design org. You can set a clock by how often this role comes up.

He could’ve made the same point talking about spending 90mins in Redcar or Cornwall or wherever and only seeing white faces. For some reason he chose not to.

Having work by Sutherland appear regularly in your phone is a very wonderful thing. Thanks to @gsutherland.bsky.social

Christened.

Happy with this one. Trying something new with the rim of the dish.

Six very irregular sake cups, or egg cups if that’s what takes your fancy. These were me trying to throw very small things consistently. They are small at least.
