just my bias, but i'm increasingly reading this kind of design (colorful, humanist, overt celebration of creativity) as a subtle statement against gen AI

young designers: you most assuredly do not need to be grinding on social media every day in order to be successful. no one can produce their best work *every* day. spend your off days walking, dreaming, baking bread

you know why people don't run their own servers? because a couple decades ago american ISPs said "no" to having a web server in your home, and it's been the same ever since. synology could've been the macintosh of the home server, instead we all use dropbox and web 2.0

so it's clear: i'm not saying apple is sending a subliminal message about gen AI, i'm saying any art like this (even from long ago, not from apple) reads different to me now in the current context. and i get that apple is gonna do AI: better believe they'll still use this imagery

it is absolutely a tragedy. she was shot by a cop and she was in there in the first place because of many massive failures of authority. if we lose sympathy for each other's humanity here we have lost everything. do not wish for stupid people to be shot, it won't go how you think
Please stop saying that woman's death is a tragedy. She was a traitor and a terrorist. She was prior military and sure as hell knew the risks of breaking into the U.S. Capitol. Stop excusing the heinous actions of white women. It's absurd.

the web site* shut its doors. the contract is still there, the nfts are still there, new nfts are being minted, the site itself was forked; this incident might be the best example yet of what makes decentralization so valuable

if you're looking for somewhere to start with art nfts, i really can't recommend @hicetnunc2000 enough. tezos is cheaper and faster than eth, the emphasis is strongly on collecting, and it feels like an after after hours where the artists are playing for each other

lil investment advice: if you buy something cheap and it then moons and becomes 99% of your portfolio, sell it right now. you simply can't afford to keep it. good for you and everything but lock that shit in immediately, nothing should be 99% of your portfolio (or anything close)

my personal theory is that this one little policy (as well as upload caps) has done more damage to the web than anything else over its lifetime, and led us to this moment of clamoring for decentralization. it's still something no one talks about or pushes back on

people talk a lot of shit about taste and craft because they really are rare. if you have even an ounce of feeling about doing things correctly you're already far ahead of 99% of people trying to turn a buck, be it furniture or software

cryptoart is a brave new world with many risks and pitfalls, but almost everything in this graphic is false. i'm a "real" collector, i understand that money isn't a zero-sum game, and telling artists their support for each other is a pyramid scheme is wrong and insulting

hi, friends: i've recently been incapacitated by crohn's disease, which is something i struggle with always but rarely in public. occasionally it's bad enough to require surgery and that's where i'm at now. i'll be fine! but please forgive me if i'm extra slow on various channels

if you're rushing to build an NFT project right now to 'catch the bubble': don't. just don't. you're early, there's plenty of time, and the good stuff will stand out strongly amidst the low effort. you're so early that there's many bubble expansions and contractions yet to come
