[Video] I made a video about the free and paid, neutral-ish, sans serif fonts I recommend that aren't just clones of Helvetica.
This is for everyday folks bored with the default Arial, Helvetica, etc fonts that came with your word processor.

Excellent piece on the convergence of post-colonial Englishes and 'AI'-speak. I can't find a single pull quote because the whole thing is fantastic.

my favorite thing about the benoit blanc movies is that they aren't really about benoit blanc. he is not grappling with demons from his past. we are not getting flashbacks to the husband whose murder he never solved. he just shows up and does his job like mary poppins for homicides

Happy anniversary to The Expanse, one of the (if not THE) greatest scifi TV shows ever! The first episode aired OTD in 2015.
@abraham.bsky.social, congrats. 😀

There are no anniversaries without gifts, and since tomorrow marks THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE EXPANSE ON TV, the first of my articles (out of seven, already) devoted to the art and ships of this great show is open to everyone! 🖖

How boys get sucked into the manosphere
It starts with one innocuous video. It ends in misogyny, anger and nihilism. Welcome to this online rabbit-hole of toxic masculinity.

Australia's over reaction, aka social media ban for under 16s, will go into effect tomorrow.
Please look out for the children – particularly the most vulnerable children – who are going to be negatively affected by this.

It’s infuriating to me that I need to evaluate media to determine whether it’s AI generated now. The great “time saver” technology wastes incalculable time and energy for people who want to retain their grasp on reality

#ThrowbackThursday to this headlamp photo I took at the Antique Car Show Karachi in 2024. I wish I could remember which car this was, but I cannot for the life of me remember! Oh well.

Every time Microsoft Office gets a refresh I have to ask myself, "What fresh hell will I be facing now?" and Copilot never disappoints with the freshness of its hell. This time the little paste-options icon that appears every time you paste something in Word has changed to "Paste with Copilot". 🙄

I'm starting a blog post series in which I share cool font pairings I find online (or basic pairings done well). This is both for others who might be interested and to build my own future-inspiration catalogue. Please share your favs so I can take a look and talk about them as well. Thanks!

This dog in my neighbourhood is keeping a watchful eye on its territory, which is serious business for a very serious looking dog. The second photo is from when I heard another dog being walked down the street behind me just after I'd taken the first shot :)
