CIRCLE WITH A DOT

My latest newsletter, in which I talk about MAiD and addiction epidemics to try to make the point that new, better ideas rarely have a chance in government, and that’s literally killing us. This one’s maybe my most depressing piece to date, but it feels important to discuss. https://www.everyonescreative.net/p/the-biggest-problem-in-government

@ludd I keep saying “90% of CEOs want to be fed into a meat grinder and have all their assets liquidated and given to public libraries” but for some reason I never get quoted ️

If your compassion for people is limited to the extent of your patience, then I don’t think you were ever actually feeling compassion. You shouldn’t be able to be annoyed out of seeing someone’s humanity.

A lot of shit has me pretty riled up right now so let’s stop and smell the roses for once and everyone appreciate my great new (old) clock I got for my studio.

This stupid joke doesn’t work on my website because I use a font that doesn’t have ambiguous characters. Isn’t accessible design fun?!

I posted yesterday about how Adobe had randomly shoved generative AI shit into my custom workspace layout, which I promptly closed. But surprise, when I opened InDesign today this bullshit was back! Has there ever been a feature forced into people’s faces against their will as much as AI?

Gonna need to really try not to get a big head now… I’m assuming YouTube mails you a plaque for all milestones, right?

@jakalopes Of course! I got them from a stationery shop in Toronto, but it seems like they’re sold out: https://wonderpens.ca/products/sticker-box-banana-glck-57
I guess the brand is Greeting Life? I’m not familiar with the brand but searching GLCK-57 brought up lots of listings for the bananas

The best purchasing decision I made in 2025 was getting this tiny box of banana stickers. They have never let me down and there’s so much joy to be found in sticking bananas to things.

I rarely open Adobe applications anymore, but when I do, they have added a fucking GenAI panel to my custom workspace and have also done a double attention-grab badge on the blue “share” button nobody fucking uses. Jesus Christ, Adobe is garbage.
