- I've never felt more creative than right now.
- I know someone who works with Macron. Apparently he's incredibly kind to work for, yet firm when he needs to be.
- Every now and again my wife asks what song is in my head. A couple of times I've had to go: "Badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger, badger Mushroom, mushroom!" I wonder how many internet nerds of a certain age have the same affliction?
- I have to say that Bluesky is coming along quite nicely. I find myself enjoying it more as time passes, and I login frequently. Has anyone got lists of WordPress, Laravel and Design people I should be following here?
- Being liberal is acknowledging that other people know their lives and needs and best and so long as they're not harming others all is fine. You may disapprove of what they do, or feel it's not for you, and the weapon you have to change things is only respectful argument and data.

- Jeff's a good guy. If you're doing web products or apps he's got just the right balance of skills and human insight to do a great job. And he's been a communicator in the WordPress for as long as I remember.

- Word up to people wanting to get into Design Week - do NOT send us a massive picture with text and visual assets for it as a press release. I can read it but it's a nightmare to get the assets out of, the text can't be copied and pasted... a key thing is to make the job of a journalist easy!
- I met with Migrante creative director Valerio Le Moli and Davide Lupi of Stellantis to talk about the new visual identity for Abarth. As an old school gamer I'm all for pixel heavy artwork! Now they just need to add it to the dashboard UI... @designweek.co.uk
- Oh I like this. And I like the source it's based on too. Going to play with this one! I have a poster sized hole in my wall after being annoyed by one that was winding me up.
- Here is what I've been doing this past week: git.olaren.dev/Olaren/mapto... A little python program that generates poster for cities! You might have seen stuff like this around lately, but I modified it to put an emphasis on rail infrastructure :3
- Reposted by David CoveneyThe killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
- Reposted by David CoveneyThat would be since... 2016? I wonder what happened then?

- Misread the ranking score. People who code these systems...did I just bring down someone's average? Will my later replies be parsed?
- Reposted by David CoveneyLeonardo DiCaprio has stopped using Wikipedia.
- My Surface Pro was getting very hot and therefore slow doing a big update, so I placed it flush against a metal laptop stand to act as a big heatsink and it worked! You don't get these problems with proper tower PCs. Or ARM based laptops. But my MacBook is broken and I prefer Windows anyway.
