I like the Utah Olympics logo but I haven’t seen the rest of the visual identity (if there is one yet). BUT I’m always excited for Olympics design discourse as I’ve already seen some wild takes.

One explanation for economic populism in the US is the recurring cycle of bubbles and bailouts that happens without any democratic input

Eric Swalwell absolutely sucks. His only positive is that he’s not Gavin Newsom.

Malaprop Workout Plan
#artcetera #webcomic
Three panel comic of Malaprop lifting a giant weight in the Artcatraz Prison yard. Panel 1: She grounds herself with the bar of the weight and says "No pain. No gain." Panel 2: She lifts the heavy weight, sweating and gritting her teeth, and says "Remember the Maine." Panel 3: She flexes her bicep and it's now so big, it rips off her sleeve. She says "To her with Spain!"

Listen. There’s a lot of discourse happening right now. But never forget the core truth of our craft: we’re all just weird little guys making weird little guys.

#3157 A helpful tutorial
A digital drawing of one of those drawing tutorials that says 'don't do this, do this.' The drawing is of an almost naked middle-aged man doing a flying kick. The 'Don't do this' one has a bunch of areas circled and a cross under it. The 'Do this' one is exactly the same but without the circles and a tick instead of a cross. The text reads 'Needlessly adding red circles will ruin your art' and a smaller bit of text at the bottom reads 'Bonus tip! Add a tick under all your art so people think you did it right.'

Why is Anderson Cooper platforming Errol Musk? Why is anyone? What insight can be gleamed with an "extended interview" with an unrepentant segregationist?

I love how capitalism is so deranged that we measure the affordability of a thing by how many coffees you have to sacrifice to afford it. Like the drug we drink to be able to survive our lives of labor is the only way we can understand actual value because money is ephemeral.
