About a year ago I discovered this fabulous/atrocious tour bus in Zürich perfect for people-watching designer death stares

Eerie street art I found in Eindhoven. Even though it’s kinda “scratchy”, the letters feel well balanced.

The best argument I heard against it is that (paraphrased), “having a human in the loop is a fallacy because it won’t make AI more like us, but it will make us more like the AIs” Creativity is never something inherent, the creativity is the work you do; the process. Something like the original London Underground map was made because we had an electrical engineer (basically, an outsider) give a unique view and perspective on it. Something that would be statistically noted as “not-relevant” for The LLM. Any arguments on “sure but you could have just asked it to do that!” with the AI is also silly. It would be like arguing that any human with a paper & pen could be good at: art, writing novels, architecture, and reconciling quantum physics with general relativity

Every visit to Letterspace Amsterdam really begins at the very typographic Wibautstraat metro station featuring gorgeous painted type

Unexpectedly interesting art deco type found in Helmond, out of all places

@eWalthert@typo.social Ghostery does have have business model where they sell user data of which trackers were blocked. At least for adblockers, UBlock Origin/UBlock Origin Lite is definitely the best one, set in Complete filtering mode. I’m unsure of extensions that block cookie notices (maybe UBlock origin has that option)

Don’t ever tell me that “we care about your privacy” when your website cookie notice begins with “We and our 600 partners…”

I spotted this lovely uppercase Q when I was in Brussels the other day

When even the people doing the graffiti are fed up with filthy Belgian train exteriors. I guess this still counts as typography?

The just Affinity app is nice and all, but today it somehow “logged itself out” and requested that I open a browser to login. I think I’ll keep the old Affinity apps installed because there’s no way in hell I’d want yet another cloudflare oopsie woopsie prevent me from doing design work
