Mockler: It's honestly humiliating that other countries are treating our president like a child, like a baby. It's like if I created a peace prize and I gave it to myself. I'm like, I'm just going to keep this medal on all night. Our president is an actual child

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women". Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

A happy #BlueBeanieDay to you and yours, celebrating an open and accessible web. ( #pixelart design for @alistapart.com )

Winter Storm is on for today in Chicago. 5-9 inches predicted. Drive carefully!

The early web revealed how many of us are creative. The current web shows how many are morons.

The ol’ morning Fruit Ninja workout

Blue Beanie Day comes but once a year. Thanks for supporting web standards, UVA.

I’m still thinking about “quiet, piggy.” No president should be able to speak to a member of the press that way and remain president. That moment encapsulates how vile, misogynistic, and horrible that man is.

Pam Bondi this morning

WOW, new signage!

Thursday's Chicago start with an autumn accent.

dawg not the steakhouse wedding font

As seen in the latest print edition of The Onion (via u/madebysquirrels on Reddit). #design #adobe

GOP: I can't believe Dems are trying to stop us from taking away your healthcare. Just for that, no food for you.

Absolute Batman beating up a corrupt cop in the latest comic 🦇

Every fucking day with this asshole

Greg Bovino, Kristi Noem, and DHS need to answer for their unchecked attacks on Chicago residents. ICE is an out-of-control danger to our peaceful communities. The images from the Sun-Times today speak for themselves.

A lovely bake by u/cestnepas-magritte from Reddit. A dessert near and dear to my Chicagoan heart.

On National Coming Out Day, know that I will always be an ally to you — no matter where you are on your journey. I know that times may be scary, but you are seen, safe, supported, and loved here in Illinois.

About to take my morning meeting with TRON

Now: Hundreds assembling in the Chicago Loop for a march and rally to demand the National Guard leave town. Folks chanting "Donald Trump you racist clown! You're not welcome in this town!"

Not sure how the movie will turn out, but the #design / visual flow / #typography of the “Ballad of a Small Player” posters continues to be on point

Infinity hallway

The language of non-consent around AI is really telling. "It's too late to be scared." "It's here whether we want it or not." "You'll have to learn to work with it." "You can't fight the inevitable." All just variations of "you're not allowed to say no." Creepy technology made by creepy people.

Instagram user “c.c.y.99” posts brilliantly designed daily #pixelart portrait work. Please join me in appreciating today’s piece.

Seen on this morning’s run. I ❤️ Chicago.

This is the playbook, folks. If you're not paying attention now and doing something about it, then you're going to have to sit down the rest of your life because democracy is being taken away. Do not be quiet in this moment.

Absolute Batman will be 'beating up white nationalists' in the upcoming comic special 🦇

Fantastic Friday Finish. This evening in Chicago.

If I fits I sits: racket edition

I too—and four books and 30 years of blog posts bear this out—use em-dash in my writing. Like, a lot. Yet few readers will mistake what I write for AI slop. Style. Personality. Realness. That’s how real, human writers win. Always has been. Alt z avatar: @pseudoroom.bsky.social. Details: ALT text.

Some thoughts on letting #AI take the wheel in the #design process: “It will continually come down to this, as we create: is the tool a mindfully integrated collaborator, or a deferred-to arbiter for output and outcome?” medium.com/@pseudoroom/...

The design / flow of this poster for Edward Berger’s next film is 🤌🏻

I’m not sure how I feel about this configuration—as a speaker or an attendee. www.reddit.com/r/mildlyinte...

Today’s office: Kruger Rock’s summit

🍫 + 🥜 When two independent consultants combine their strengths, they create something neither could offer alone... In this new ep. of The UX Consultants Lounge, I talk w/ @steveportigal.bsky.social and @pseudoroom.bsky.social about their recent decision to collaborate.

This morning’s commute

Back to the morning grind. Monday's start in Chicago.

Sunday Chicago Sunrise. Today in the Windy City.

Spent Father’s Day morning bottle feeding baby goats—and it was good

Pretty damn good. Can really taste the sap.

The fog blowing in off the Lake this morning. #Chicago

I’m happy to announce that - in addition to my existing practice - I’m also working with clients in partnership with @pseudoroom.bsky.social. We are really excited about our small-but-mighty unified offering!

Heavy liminal space energy outside the Nashville Parthenon this morning.
