Ik probeer de literatuur te spekken en wat @dasmag.nl boeken te bestellen, maar die website!? Kan haast niet slechter 🥲 — waar is mijn winkelwagen? Er zitten twee boeken in, maar ik kan ze niet terugvinden.

Good literary translation requires understanding (language, culture, genre--on both sides of the translation) and an ability to write well. "AI" can't do that. There are no shortcuts. Treat your work and foreign language readers with the respect they deserve. You won't fool anyone with this.

Getting into running to supplement the tennis I play, especially in winter, when the weather often disrupts the possibilities for play.
Running shoes are insane, they all seem like they were made in a distant future.

It’s Matthew Carter’s typeface, Shelley (fontsinuse.com/typefaces/27...), but like much Word Art it’s been artificially bolded.
But the White House has a Chief Calligrapher (en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?...), so why not have her do something proper? (Unless she’s been laid off like everyone else.)

Wrote a new post about Teju Cole's “Open City”, a novel that reads like a great essay might, pulling in references to art, music, literature and history, weaving in facts and stories, building a collage that invites further discovery beyond its pages. I loved it 💞

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.
Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

I wish @obsidian.md allowed comments. Is there a great plugin I'm unaware of that I should look at?
When I write, I like to use comments as notes to myself (quotes, further reading, etc.). I prefer them not to distract from the text, available in a sidebar (perhaps), for referencing when I need to.

Still surprised to see how many websites in 2025 don't have proper hover states. For clarity, yes, but also just for making the thing feel *alive*. Big chunk of the web still feels like I'm hovering a poster.

Over the past months I've written and edited the NoGood book—it's been a very enjoyable collaboration, and I can't wait to see this thing in print ✨
