Good design isn’t just how something looks. It’s how it frames decisions, guides behavior, and encodes power.

Some days I design.
Some days I write.
Some days I just stare at the way the light hits a power line and think,
“there’s something beautiful here. I just don’t have the words yet.”

The weird part about AI-generated content isn’t that it exists. It’s how fast we adapted to it as if it always had.

One weird thing about working in tech and media right now is that you constantly feel like you’re living five minutes in the future while everyone else is still catching up to last week.

Sometimes I ask GPT-4 the same question five different ways just to see if it cracks. So far, it’s more patient than me — slightly unsettling.

Trump gets in bed with the Chinese owners, and suddenly Tik Tok isn’t “evil CCP compromised” anymore. These people believe in nothing. What Trump decides today is what they believe in today. Which changes tomorrow if Trump makes a deal with someone else to enrich himself.

Exactly this.
If you don't understand how the banning of TikTok and the threat to our democracy are intrinsically linked, put on your listening ears.
The three branches of our government just fast tracked the banning of our right to assemble (digitally) in a space that is not controlled (and PROFITED) by them.

This TikTok scam by Trump is really something. In a few days, we will be hearing from Trump about how he “saved Tik Tok” & “brought it back.” He literally created the problem by calling for a ban. Rs pass a law. It gets banned. It goes dark for a day or 2, then Trump “saves” it.
