Tailwind is a very easy, efficient way to turn the internet into a sad, bland landscape of monochromatic rectangles.
I'm not against value hierarchy; I'm against dumping black and white into every color and calling it a palette, like it's a secret design hack instead of an elementary art exercise.

Everyone: “It’s a rounded square.”
Nerds 🤓: “Well actually…it’s a *squircle*.”
A shape between a square and a circle (a superellipse). Softer, calmer, continuous curves everywhere.
Rounded squares got rounded-er. Now they’re baked into the code that builds the web.
Tiny curve, a new global standard.

My therapist loves to... help? by searching the internet during sessions, but I moved beyond the skill level required to find a website with a word on it. It feels like I’m about to trigger a shonen movie montage:

Like rays radiating outward but of shadow, rays of darkness, not light. It's just physics backwards. Could you do it?

It's like some kind of sick joke, how eagerly platforms abandon artistic integrity the second artwork becomes pixels.

NO guys, it’s NOT funny when unethical CEOs show their ass by getting caught asking ChatGPT how to be scum. It’s especially not funny when ChatGPT’s answer is “pay up, scumbag.” It’s not. It’s not funny guys. Stop laughing.

Krafton CEO allegedly asked ChatGPT to help him find a way out of paying Subnautica 2 devs their bonuses because he wanted to avoid the 'professional embarrassment' of being seen as a 'pushover'
A pre-trial brief filed by former Unknown Worlds bosses says Krafton CEO Changham Kim was worried about losing his job for overpaying for the studio.

The best way to find out if someone is a good person is by secretly testing them in your head based on arbitrary rules you made up.
The key is to only tell them once they've failed.

The problem with calling deceptive design practices “Dark Patterns” is that the term has visceral appeal.

We’ve done our best to make computers human.
First we taught them math and they got real good at that but then we taught them art and they forgot how to count.
