i am once again asking you to resist the urge to turn every navigation click into some horrendous inescapable view transition. they are cool, but i can only watch your shit fly, zoom and bounce so many times before i claim you as a sworn enemy before the elder gods.

people gainfully employed by war-criminal-aligned fascist-adjacent absolute-dickhead vercel who were VERY quiet in the days around guillaume sharing his little jaunt with netanyahu now back out of the woodwork sharing their company-issued quota of blog posts and changelogs. well done lads.

Itโs truly scary how few mainstream publications are willing to publish working class voices and perspectives (let alone leftist ones), and every one we lose is yet another blow to the fragile hope for a better world

one thing i struggled with in design courses was the 'homework' was almost always half-arsed, two-sentence briefs to go and make something. fav part of the mindful design course has been putting together actual structured, educational exercises that aren't "mock up an app screen without any help".

just want pixel sprites back in my pokemon lads. so much charm lost in the shift to 3d. gen 3 sprites were some of the most expressive in the history of games. imagining a world where they went with the octopath/triangle strategy hd-2d vibes instead of this mess.

people willingly spinning up a substack in big 2025. get a grip! get a hold of yourself! have a word with yourself! take a good hard look in the mirror! contemplate how your actions overlap with bad actors! pontificate on how much your personal morals may flex under the weight of willful ignorance!

dunno folks, after spending decades making interacting with a computer seamless through things like signifiers and metaphors and then those things becoming conventions and being able to abstract away huge chunks of complexity maybe the future is not 'type every action you want to do as a prompt'

there are basically only two positions in the debate about AI. 1. i do not use it to generate things that strip the humanity out of anything that could bring joy 2. i use it. i am a big fuckin baby living in fear of epiphany and I suck at everything i am a huge baby and i am a sad little baby man
