"Frasier" s07e23, comparison of what it looked like directed and originally broadcast, and how it currently looks on Paramount+ (re-framed for 16:9 using previously unused film negative). Gotta love how you can see the elevator doors (which are 'closed') which are plainly visible in the 16:9.

Funniest AI glitch I've heard yet!

Actual quote by a guy on our local online message board, arguing that the t-shirt & slogan for the town’s annual 4th of July parade was too woke & anti-Trump: "I for one do not want to see a 4th of July parade celebrating revolutionary resistance."

Talked to a group of design students this morning. All their questions were about AI. Most of them feel like they’re graduating into a field where they’re no longer welcome. We have a new generation of people who want to do the work and we’re going to lose them. No one wants this shit.

I prefer Japanese poster designs for movies, but had this gratuitously masculine Italian Escape From New York poster on my wall for many years.

Paramount+ wanted to use the image on the left as a poster for the wrath of Khan, so they used everyone's least favorite technology to generate the rest of the image.

I've watched only the first 10 minutes, but holy crap this is great!

The State of CSS 2026 survey is out! These survey's are a huge signal to the browser makers on what people want, and the more people fill the out, the better that information is. survey.devographics.com/en-US/survey...

Bad motion design found in-the-wild that feels like a metaphor for current events.

Just did a little job re-doing something someone else made with AI that a client wasn't happy with.

SIGN OF THE DAY…

Still prefer the eye.

if you want to post you should submit a “post request” where a mutual will pretend to read it first and then approve a merge into the main bluesky timeline

‘Based on what I’ve found, I’d be surprised if more than 3GW of actual capacity was turned on in the last two years, which means that NVIDIA has sold anywhere from double to triple the amount of GPUs that the world can hold.’ www.wheresyoured.at/email/537d63... by @edzitron.com

would anyone want to collab on building and maintaining a site for people to submit tech stories? i have a domain and some early concepts, but tbh, the prospect of moderating submissions while i’m still dealing with my own burnout feels daunting

Some sketchbooks I like. Pith ‘Pomelo’ - very smooth, creamy paper. Slightly odd truncated A4 format but feels good in your hand

I wrote about why I quit my job, and how weird and tiring tech feels these days.

100% approve of this message.

If I was more liquid I'd be collecting fonts like this constantly.

I wanted to see what this would physically look like on the desk so I made a quick mock-up in Blender

We're all going to be using our devices for longer than we planned so my advice to you: settings > battery > charging > set limit to 80% [on iOS or macOS]. Making sure your computer or phone never goes above 80% will *quadruple* its life compared to charging it to 100% every evening.

PSA — though this definitely aligns with current events this is also an interesting data site for anyone that didn't know how much subsidies alter gas pricing in various countries. Hat tip to @daringfireball.bsky.social #gasprices

love a bit of continvouclous morging

Bondi laughing at the end is the real pièce de résistance. This is all just a big joke to her.

This is the aftermath of an ICE kidnapping a few blocks from my home in St. Paul—an hour ago. A quiet street full of broken glass and at least three wrecked cars. The target of the kidnapping was taken away by ambulance. He was on a stretcher and covered by a sheet, though a cop said he was alive.

This is who runs this account.

I've avoided using Adobe's Acrobat for years, but recently needed a specific feature — outlining fonts in a PDF for a client's printer, which is an issue all-its-own. Holy moly has Acrobat gotten even worse! Missing features, obscure UX, incorrect docs, bugs, and angry/confused users on forums.

this field biologist does a great job highlighting the insidiousness of AI editing these one-click AI edit buttons are incredibly appealing to many photographers, amateurs and professionals alike, and are framed as innocuous this is worth sharing and educating people about

When the Compact Disc (CD) format was new one of my first purchases was the Charles Dutoit Sony Holst "The Planets" recording; I bought that recording because it said "Sonic boom!" on the sticker with the mastering info. And indeed, it'd pump the woofers on the classic Mars track.

Zuck wasted $77B on failed metaverse nonsense and now a decade after I would have used a kid/parent setup on Instagram they’re advertising it heavily to me when I have no use for it.

One of the greatest web pages of all time: Embroidery Trouble Shooting Page. Enjoy.

This is how you make an independent game trailer.

y'know, if tech companies weren't so fired up to call every single thing "AI" it would be a lot easier to distinguish "ML spam filter that is well-sandboxed and tuned on your emails" from "giant context and IP-eroding foundation model that makes people paranoid and unhappy"

This is a really good idea. Can you think of any other films to at didn’t get a fair shake because of Covid? I think Malick’s A Hidden Life would’ve had a better theatrical run.

KEEP SHARING YOUR STORIES about increased ACA premiums due to the disappearance of subsidies. The stories clearly are having an impact, they help people feel less helpless, and they create solidarity that leads to action. Mine went from $395→ $821. What happened for you?
