Is there a world where Apple released the Vision Pro a couple years ago at like a ridiculously subsidized $200 leveraging their massive stockpiles of cash and ushered in a new form factor? Part of me wonders if they’d been bolder about taking a loss if it would have been a success in a way it wasn’t

This hits me right in the feels. I’m old enough to remember when Framer WAS a “true design tool.”

I remember like 10 years ago when fascism was seen by most people for what it is: criminal behavior, and not “political opinions”.

Banned books are not a relic of history.
Maya Angelou, John Steinbeck, and Kurt Vonnegut have all faced bans.
So have dozens of contemporary authors writing the truths of our time.
The goal is always the same: limit access, narrow perspective, reduce who gets to speak.
