If your anti-fascist march has people holding the image of the Ayatollah who slaughtered thousands of peaceful protesters then you’re on a fascist march.

"I don't actually think politics should be suffused with religious dogmatic ideology. I think it's dangerous. Politics should be a predominately secular space. I don't want to see people in the Green Party presenting themselves as "Muslim candidates".

@joshpuckett @LukeADesign Maybe meta-data categorization? Foundry would be the simplest that comes to mind. Dream would be style of typeface, but gets elaborate to detect. Opentype alternates? Again maybe local. Sorry for the laundry list.

[Kristoffer Sølling @krissolling]

@joshpuckett @LukeADesign Sure your already there but copy logo (svg) + text as SVG so it can be pasted as vectors wherever. Auto sizing the SVG in relation to x/cap height (optional). Inverting colors on the SVG when it's done on the text. Letterspacing (local to each?). Arbitrary font folder dropping.

Susanna Reid, "What did Nigel Farage say to you when you were both at Dulwich college together?"

Peter Ettedgui, "He regularly would come up to me and say Hitler was right, and he's also come up to me and go, gas them"

Susanna Reid, "Are you Jewish?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yes"

Susanna Reid, "So he was specifically targeting you because you were Jewish, with the most hurtful comment?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yeah, absolutely"

"My German Jewish grandparents had escaped Nazi Germany in 1937, so I kind of grew up knowing about the Holocaust and everything that had happened"

"This was the first time I had ever been targeted for antisemitic abuse in my life"

"I have to say it was also the last time. I have since never remotely had anyone say anything like that to me"

Susanna Reid, "How old were you at the time?"

Peter Ettedgui, "Between the ages of 13 and 14"

"When I was first approached to talk about this back in 2013, I felt that it was an unfair thing to do. And it was only after Nigel Farage denied it, that I had to say something, because there's no way he couldn't remember"

"I was really worried that it was one person's word against another, but what has come up in the more recent reporting there's a large number of people who not only corroborate my experience but have their own experience"

Ed Balls, "Nigel Farage has at times said this is untrue. At other times said it's playground banter. That it was a long time ago. That there was no intent to cause harm"

*GMB play the clip of Farage denying antisemitism"

Ed Balls, "He's never directly racially abused anybody"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "That's not true"

"Peter and I were good friends at school, and I've heard it live"

Susanna Reid, "So you weren't the target of Nigel Farage's comments but you witnessed them. Were there any others?"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Yeah, anybody who wasn't white would likely to have a comment"

"That was for many years. We're talking 13-14, all the way up to senior school"

Susanna Reid, "So what else did you witness?"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Anybody who was not white, Nigel Farage would go up to and say useless, or, send them home"

"Nigel Farage used to draw NF (National Front) all over his schoolbooks, with pride"

"When I came over from Belgium at the time as a ten year old, my father was in the military, my mother was from Germany"

"While I had no conflicts with Nigel Farage, it was odd to come to this big school in London and to have such an obvious thing"

Ed Balls, "Playground banter. We all grew up in the 1970s. It was harsh then. People said things on television about disability which you wouldn't say now"

"But, the Nazi's were right and the hissing of the gas chamber"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "When you think about it its crazy"

"When I used to be called, because I'm from Germany, the K word, but you say, things you couldn't imagine saying now"

"That's the point. When you look online, those things are starting to come out again, and that's the dangerous thing"

Susanna Reid, "Was this a one off?"

Peter Ettedgui, "No. We were in the same class. Neighbouring desks because we were seated in alphabetical order"

"This was, whenever he saw me. It was almost a kind of gut reflex when he saw me"

"I was very struck by an interview a classmate gave to The Guardian the other day, where he said, I don't understand why Peter took it, why he didn't react"

"I think learnt to throw a protective cloak over myself and ignore him"

"I found my own tribe at school, and it wasn't all bad"

"So I kind of got on with my life"

"That experience marked me"

"Antisemitism is often called the oldest hatred, and when I think of the oldest hatred, it's Nigel Farage's face that I see in front of me"

"I'd like to pick up on this thing about it being the 1970s, it was a different time, you're absolutely right"

"But words like, the K word, the Y word, the Jews, the P word, those were being thrown around"

"Nigel Farage was of a completely different order"

"The regularity, the intention with which he did this, to so many pupils of different races"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "The singing of the song: gas them all"

"He used to regularly sing that at school"

"It's horrendous. I don't want to sing it on TV"

Peter Ettedgui, "Another story has come out from another Jewish pupil, younger than me, who remembers Farage and his pals waiting outside Jewish assembly, waiting to taunt the kids coming out"

Ed Balls, "Nigel Farage says he didn't ay any of these things with intent"

"But standing outside the Jewish assembly at Dulwich college to say things about the Nazis, feels like it has some intent"

Peter Ettedgui, "A great deal of intent"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "Regular"

Peter Ettedgui, "Yeah, and the targeting of other students of ethnic minorities waiting at the school gates"

Ed Balls, "Last night Nigel Farage told us that the stories they are telling about him from 50 years ago are not true"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "It said these things also when he was 14, 15, 16, 17, when the issue of the prefect of the nomination came up, it wasn't just 50 years ago when he was 11"

Ed Balls, "He says the two of you are politically motivated"

Jean-Pierre Lihou, "I don't have any political affiliations at all"

Peter Ettedgui, "And neither do I"

"There isn't a political, but a deeply personal motivation"

"I do not want to see a school bully become my prime minister"

"That probably goes for all 20+ people who have spoken out about his behaviour at school"

@w__h_ nah that aesthetic just became available again imo, who's gonna lay claim it? there can be only 1

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

Zelensky is a wartime leader watching his people suffer and die under Russian attacks every day. To be lectured and lied to by Trump and Vance, as they defend the war criminal dictator committing these atrocities, is unimaginable agony. An everlasting shame for America.

@kieranstartup Would be curious if you find any. Been looking at Haystack just based on some cursory research myself, they have some free video resources that seem well made

@Chuckwacka @rachlsara Several months I’ve been getting this one!

[Kristoffer Sølling @krissolling]

@ChristyCPGs @iiiitsandrea @smashbrand What about https://t.co/7LlPdEY5zG ? If retailers are cloning well known brands, at scale, right next to them on the shelf, why should startup brand owners care or even attempt protection?

[Kristoffer Sølling @krissolling]

@w__h_ bezier interpretation into straight curves cause the vertices to be very close to one another which makes later manipulation hard, then the auto generated faces are very bad to work with. Probably not solely type designers remit though

[Kristoffer Sølling @krissolling]

@w__h_ For use cases that Apple show yes, issues happen once you manipulate text as an actual 3d object i.e. bending, beveling https://t.co/GxbRFNYJAl or https://t.co/2vYUyJetC6 I don’t know much about other 3d packages so maybe this is a blender specific issue that others have solved

[b-boy bouiebaisse @jbouie]

okay so twitter has basically been almost unusable for awhile but this latest “innovation” of appending unrelated tweets to threads makes this app truly unusable

[Kristoffer Sølling @krissolling]

@LucaRood Ah I didn’t actually realize that about images. I’m specifically interested in the String to Curves node so I can change Fonts without diving into the node groups, where currently the font selection part doesn’t have a socket. Wondered if there was any way of doing that w. Udon

[ICE T @FINALLEVEL]

I do not give a flying FUCK about Fonts... Weirdo shit.

Tech guys when the startup has money: "Our AI will crush you under its heel. We are rendering you, teeming human biomass, irrelevant. I am become death destroyer of worlds."

Tech guys when the startup money is gone: "I'm just a rural farmer, farming my code. I'm a family man"
