I feel like the one of the lowest level human internet problems we haven’t solved is how to be around millions of people, many of whom vocally disapprove of at least some of our thoughts and actions, without letting our hyper-social status-sensitive primate brains either melt or devote themselves to arguing that all our positions are the right positions for everyone.

Like yes, some algos are bad, but we also just built structures we can’t quite handle and are perma-mad at each other about it.

This is the correct take. Harm reduction is the order of the day. Harris will be good in many ways, meh in others, but she and the Dems are so much better than the GOP in multiple dimensions that it’s no contest, and don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. https://mastodonapp.uk/@Stevenheywood/112852566490188902

And if we are lucky enough to vote in Harris with a democratic senate and house, she can really get stuff done. And then we work to push her in the right direction on those issues with which we disagree with her. That’s normal politics, but first we have to crush the fascists.

📕 My book On Web Typography is now free!

It’s 10 years old, and with A Book Apart winding down, I’d like to keep it available for everyone to read. Even though it’s about ever-evolving web typography, the information is still solid — I wrote it to act more as a guide for approaching aesthetics and function, and less about the specifics of code. Enjoy!

MY PET GODDESS
Posted on July 26, 2014 | Edit

We ride creative waves.
Chaste Goddess child, frisky muse
picks daisies, pilfers beehives.
Sweet as to please
deities craving
for innocence.
Secret games whisk us
to deep intimacy.
Supernatural companion, she
comforts me, familiar with these
cycles of light and dark
responsibility —
cosmic irony.
Mother’s reward.
Father’s Hetaera.
Beloved of mordant Destiny.
Beguiling affection, she cuddles
into my simple, abyssal fears.
She licks the eyelids of my
inner vision, coaxes me open.
Together we transcend
hierarchy,
frolic
dimensions between.

What JD Vance said in 2021

Vance’s comments stem from a July 2021 Fox News interview when he was running for Ohio’s U.S. Senate seat, and have resurfaced this week after Harris announced she was running for the Democratic presidential nomination.

"We are effectively run in this country via the Democrats, via our corporate oligarchs, by a bunch of childless cat ladies who are miserable at their own lives and the choices that they’ve made, and so they wanna make the rest of the country miserable too," Vance told then-Fox News host Tucker Carlson.

well that bit of cognitive dissonance has gotten lost in the shuffle...

Kamala Harris will win, primarily because of #Women & #GenZ.

The💰came in at a volume & pace so intense the DNC’s fundraising site went down several times on Thurs night. By Fri PM, the group had raised >$8.5M.

The idea for the call came from S Watts, founder of Moms Demand Action. Watts wanted White women to follow the lead of the Black women who quickly organized behind Harris’s candidacy, 44,000 of "Win With Black Women" raised $1.8M.
