@ilyamiskov The way its been done on foldable makes sense. Not so much here in my opinion. We will see an influx of small screens on other devices such as headphones and bud pods.

@Adweek Twitter will be no more. X seems soulless in comparison... Why not make an X app from scratch? To make X a meta or alphabet level umbrella business?

“Walking is among the most life-affirming of human activities…. It is the living proof that repetition — placing one foot in front of the other — can in fact allow a person to make progress.”

Day 6 of my creative "retreat" and my pen has almost ran out of ink. It's been too long since I've finished a pen or a sketch book during a week. Feels good to bleed ideas again. #brainstorm #creative

Great thread for freelancers looking for new ways to find clients. I'll be trying some of these out myself!

[rileythedesigner @rileyj_s]

Freelancers who aren't relying on referrals, how/where are you getting clients?

I'm really tired and my feet are sore #30sthings

It's no wonder that so many people are freaked out by ChatGPT.

Why?

Because one thing that ChatGPT does brilliantly is to lay bare the inadequacy of the indoctrination system that we call school.

Authorities said, "Study hard, get good grades and you'll do well!"

But really, they taught you to act like a robot.

And now real robots have come along to take your job.

It feels like a broken promise.

It feels like we were sold a lie.

(It might not have been a lie at the time but it sure turned out to be false)

The good news is this:

You're not a robot.

You're a human.

Robots are good at robot stuff.

Humans are good at human stuff.

Compete on the human stuff, don't compete on the robot stuff.

Does this mean you might have to reinvent yourself?

Yeah, you might have to.

But you're not doomed.

Spending time on public transport really gives you time to think and process. There is so much I want to do, now I have the time to figure out how to do it.

@jaromvogel @Procreate Holy crap this looks cool!

@ilyamiskov Fantas original focus, an orange flavoured drink, is completely lost now. The brand doesn't seem as focused on as easily to identify. Get the fruit back in there!

[Mike James | Graphic Designer @mj_dsgn]

@dribbble I like it, beats the last logo. It's nostalgic to many who had kids parties at pizza hut in the 90s. I still prefer coke though!
