Finally pulled together a portfolio! Feels good to have some of my fave [Brand, Editorial, Event & Public] design projects from the last few years in one place – minus those under NDA 👀

Thankful for trusting clients & talented collaborators 💛

Ban this shit immediately

Extraordinary. Good work here by the soldier.

We are never going to know what's real again. This is a tragedy. This tech is going to do enormous harm to any sense of shared culture and even to the very notion of an objective reality.

[Tom Goodwin @tomfgoodwin]

I'm not sure that people want to live this way.

Well, I think 10% of people want about 20% of this.
And 0.001% want 100% of it.

Having spent 2005- 2020 trying to make up good use cases for tech, it dawned on me this isn't how people are. Nor is the world built for this.

I can't afford baked goods, so I pay a subscription service to rob bakeries around me to get things a lot cheaper. I can't believe how much bakers are whining about this, they should adapt, this is progress. The entitlement is off the charts.

After everything we’ve been through these past two years, too many voters STILL didn’t understand the assignment.

What will it take?!

[bad_vertex @BadVertexDev]

humans forced to work grueling 9-to-5s to afford to live while the puppets get to paint and sing and write day and night. Why do this if not for contempt for the arts and for humanity. I just can't explain how much I hate you. I hate you so much

Made some pins to immortalise one of my favourite lines of film dialogue, from my fave film, HEAT.

Go solve cancer then instead of spending a billion trillion dollars promising to steal everyone's jobs.

Come back when you are done,

Everyone hates your soulless, joyless, miserable AI slop.

@peterdaou @AbdulElSayed @DropSiteNews Insane that this is controversial — to the average human this is just common sense wisdom. Sad that this is “staggering”.

[Peter Daou @peterdaou]

I've been in politics for a quarter century. It's hard to express how staggering it is to see a conversation like this on corporate US media. The Morning Joe panel gobsmacked by the directness of @AbdulElSayed's points.

What’s your favorite song you only discovered because it was in a movie?

Tom Hiddleston says happiness is overrated and spending your life chasing it can actually make you unhappy

"Happiness is overrated. Meaning is underrated. Happiness is like a sunrise or a sunset. Bear with me"

"You're there. It's lovely. You're present with it. The sun's rising or the sun is setting. It's perfect. After 15 minutes, the moment is over and it's gone. Trying to sustain it is impossible because it's over"

"And a life spent chasing the permanence of that feeling will make you unhappy because you can't hold on to it. The moment you try to hold on to it, it slips through your fingers and is lost"

"Meaning is a structure that only you create in your own life, an architecture with your own particular spiritual fingerprint, whereby if you're going through a hard time, if you're going through challenge, struggle, obstacles, suffering or pain, only you know why you're going through it"

"You might know, this is hard now. I'm doing it for my kids. I'm doing it for my mom. I'm doing it for my future"

"And then it makes enduring the hard times bearable because you know what it means"

"And meaning - this is the take - meaning yields joy. Joy is deeper than happiness"

This has always been one of the wildest videos in existence to me. The peace and tranquility, birdsong in the background and water crashing being interrupted by the most destructive force we’ve ever created is such a perfect metaphor for our effect on the natural world

I don’t even look at design anymore. I just wrote “do good taste stuff” in a markdown file and gave it to an agent.

It’s currently spending three months in Japan on my behalf.

It visits museums, digs through old magazines, and has life changing conversations with people who make chairs and an 88 year old guy named Torakichi who makes fountain pens. Every night it updates the file so I know what kind of person I am becoming.

Apparently the last three days in Kyoto completely changed how I think about layout. I found out about this "new me" from a notification I got while in a Costco parking lot eating a chicken bake.

There’s a second agent turning these experiences into posts about how important it is to get off the computer and experience the world to become truly inspired. A third agent is deciding which of my friends I’ve outgrown. I get a notification when someone is no longer part of my journey. If you're reading this you're probably on that list.

Yesterday a book arrived in the mail. I liked the cover. I just picked it up and thought it looked nice. It felt good.

My smart home alarm went off and my agent told me to put the book down. According to my agent I shouldn't be wasting my time on X.

But this is the new way of designing. If you're not on board you will get left behind. I love it.
