🔠 Die Grotesk design information

Klim

Because every creative endeavour has a small part of your soul and spirit, it would be too vulnerable and unbearable to admit the real cost and fear involved in making something new and offering it up to the world, to our customers and savage imaginary contempt of our peers.

Not me thinking about buying Die Grotesk despite having both Untitled Sans and Helvetica (and a terrible eye that can only slightly tell the difference when they are side-by-side
) On a more serious note, I love reading these long pieces about the thoughts, ideas, and process that goes into designing

đŸ€– The sort of mother fucker who makes SlopTok

I think people who are high on Sora 2 as The Next Great Thing are giving the same energy as those who thought Clubhouse was going to kill podcasts a few years ago or that NFTs were actually a great idea and were totally not just a bubble that would immediately pop.

Yes, exactly. And this is why I always said people who have zero concerns about AI are living in the clouds. Financially, economically, environmentally, ethically, and culturally—there are major concerns across all five of these areas. And the people in charge of these companies don’t

The film is “conceived to celebrate the poetic and dreamlike language of great European cinema” and directed “by an AI agent” called “FellinAI,” according to a statement.

All travelers to New Zealand are required to declare any guns or gun parts when entering the country, New Zealand’s border security agency confirmed Wednesday. The agency, Customs, wouldn’t disclose what declarations Patel made on arrival.
Visitors must seek a license to possess a pistol on New Zealand soil. It wasn’t immediately clear if Patel had sought one.

Hey, New Zealand! Please arrest this man! He broke your country’s laws and seeing as he is an officer of the law and is supposed to uphold the law he should be forced to follow the local
