“Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious. And however difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.” ~ Stephen Hawking

[David Perell @david_perell]

The decline of beauty in everyday life shows up in even the smallest things, like tickets, where we’ve let our obsession with efficiency win out over personality and artistic expression.

Like the ticket from the Guggenheim Museum in New York, which I've shared in the first photo. It's an iconic building that could have so easily inspired a beautiful ticket design, but they opted for the most economical option instead.

Each example of this decline isn't a big deal, but the world becomes less charming and enchanted when people stop caring about craftsmanship.

For some alternatives, scroll through the photos. The second one shows old Japanese train tickets, the third one shows an old circus ticket, and the fourth one is a World Series ticket from 2002, which felt magical when I got to hold one as an eight-year-old.

So yes, there’s definitely been a decline. And maybe we’re okay with it! But it’s worth remembering that this decline isn’t inevitable. There is another way.

You tweet crap like this and then Indians would retaliate then that would get clipped up and you’ll say how Indians are bad. Seen this going on a lot now

Creativity isn't an exercise for you to practice.
It's a force that is always active.

If you don't become aware of this, you'll create deeper self-destructive habits expand the identity and beliefs that society perscribed to you.

If you do, you'll leap ahead of 99% of people.

What *actually* great looking cities look like

[Mustafa @oprydai]

study calculus.

not because you need to pass an exam.

because calculus teaches you how the world changes.

• derivatives → how fast something is changing right now
• integrals → how tiny changes accumulate into something larger
• differential equations → how systems evolve through time
• partial derivatives → how one variable changes inside a system with many moving parts
• gradients → which direction changes something fastest
• optimization → finding the best solution under constraints

then connect it to reality.

• velocity is the derivative of position.
• acceleration is the derivative of velocity.
• energy can be accumulated through integration.
• control systems are built around changing states.
• neural networks learn using gradients.
• physics is full of differential equations.

don’t memorize calculus as a collection of formulas.
draw it. simulate it. derive it. write code for it. connect it to motion and physical systems.

calculus becomes beautiful when you stop seeing x and y.
and start seeing change.

Don’t think there’s a name for it but there was this 1980s photography trend that doesn’t really exist anymore

[🍂 @Lovandfear]

There is a Japanese practice of owning one very good version of something rather than several adequate ones.

One knife, kept sharp. One pen that writes exactly as you want. One bag chosen carefully and used for years.

This is not minimalism as aesthetic. This is minimalism as relationship.

You learn the object. You know its weight. You know how it responds to your hand.

The object becomes, over time, an extension of you.

That cannot happen with things you do not stay with long enough to know.

나두 이런 뷰 좋아해서
도쿄가면 무조건 모노레일 타고 시내드감
절대 다른거 안타고 모노레일만
빌딩숲사이를 유유히 미끄러져 들어가는 느낌때문에 용 등에 올라탄 느낌을 줌.. 🐉

AI as a relighting tool is still improving ... but getting better every day. I crept down some dark suburban alleyways to see if Minimax H3 on MiniMax Design could do a complete day-to-night transformation on my footage.

Verdict: we're not a million miles away from being able to shoot horror movies in the daytime!

faux real

[Shav Ngah ★ @shavnyuyngah]

An architect built her parents’ dream home and named it after divine joy.

Sowmya Manne designed this Hyderabad farmhouse for her own parents on five acres of mango and neem trees. 14,000 square feet, named Ananda, the Sanskrit word for divine joy.

She didn’t treat it like client work. She reinterpreted the manduva house, her family’s traditional Godavari courtyard home, and built the entire layout around Vastu principles. Orientation, zoning, a spiritual spine running through the pooja, a tulsi kota, and a reflecting pool.

The real problem she was solving wasn’t spiritual. It was the sun. Angled mullion panels line the western wall, cutting Hyderabad’s harsh light while still framing the garden from inside. The same panels rise two storeys, letting a bridge connect the north and south wings above a double height courtyard.

Materials were kept deliberately restrained. Basalt, kota, and jaisalmer stone. Reclaimed wood pulled from the family’s ancestral home sits inside, next to art and trinkets collected across decades of family travel.

“This is my parents’ dream home,” Manne said.

Weaver birds nest in the trees now. Squirrels cross the lawn. Vastu gave her a set of invisible rules to design around. She used them to build peace instead.

Jacqueline was a master. Her work will teach you a lot about visual balance, type, and the power of restraint.

Take a simple idea and take it seriously.
