From Morris to Material Design How the Arts and Crafts Movement Shaped Digital Product Design

There’s something beautifully ironic about finding 19th-century craftsmanship principles embedded in the sleek interfaces of our smartphones.

Trump’s Plan to Sell Out Ukraine to Russia His proposal to end the war isn’t a peace planβ€”it’s a reward for aggression.

β€œTrump is not a fair broker: He is acting as a de facto Russian ally and making demands as Moscow’s proxy.”

Trump & Vance’s Power Play Backfiresβ€”Weakness Exposed Trump stacks the deck for Putin, and against democracy

How Elon Musk Executed His Takeover of the Federal Bureaucracy The operation was driven with a frenetic focus by the billionaire, who channeled his resentment of regulatory oversight into a drastic overhaul of government agencies.

This should never have happened!

Elon Musk's DOGE.gov Was Made So Sloppily That Anyone Can Vandalize It Elon Musk's DOGE.gov website is so poorly designed that it lets anybody make changes to an unsecured database that it's pulling from.

Agreeing to Disagree: A Survival Skill for the Opinionated Editor's Note:From one point of view, Peter Kaizer and The Stony Man agree on almost nothing. Β From a deeper point of view, we agree on almost everything. Β I asked Peter to write a post for The Stony Man because I value his perspective on the deeper issues at stake in today's political milieu. Β I gave him carte blanche to pick the topic, within a few parameters. Β I was pleased, but not surprised, when he chose this topic, which I consider to be one of the most important topics if we are to save our democratic republic. Β Peter and I frequently go head-to-head on the political issues of the day. Β But we've been able to maintain respect for each other as persons, even though we usually don't agree. Β I thank Peter for his thoughtful contribution to The Stony Man.Peter:We find ourselves in a time of political and cultural polarization in our nation and beyond. In a world where everyone is one social media post away from a meltdown, the ability to β€œagree to disagree” has become a lost art. Every disagreement is treated like a personal insult of the highest order, and changing your mind is seen as a weakness. Standing firm is mistaken for righteousness when it’s just believing what you believe.Let’s be honest; not every disagreement needs a winner. Sometimes, the best move is to step back, nod, and move on, or even better, try to gain an insight or an appreciation for an alternative point of view.
