Visited @archive.org today - what a lovely organization. I became an even bigger fan.

The servers in pic 2 are their primary servers (well, 10% of them) located in a non-climate-controlled church hall. "We use the heat they produce, and if it's ever too hot - we open a window."

I think every designer should write a love letter to a font at least once in their lifetime.

This is mine: A 150-year-old font you have likely never heard of, and one you probably saw earlier today.

Ебать! This American-Russian-Jewish Brighton Beach neo-noir drama is incredible, and I’m pretty shocked I’ve never heard of it. Definitely the best movie about “Russian mafia” I’ve seen. Beautiful, dark and depressive. Love love love it!

A couple more photos of a worshipper of Cornichon Jon, the Gherkin God. I'm working on a new mask and helmet rn because the visibility in this one wasn't so great

I was explaining to a friend why I've been feeling down, and I literally described myself as "not a human, just a robot produced to consume noise, horror, and depressive shit" 💩

Needless to say, this is not sustainable. Had a long walk, ate some veggies, listened to a good Brazilian comp.
