I make fonts and make others make fonts. One of the people at fault for glyphsapp.com and schriftlabor.at. Probably somewhere.

Russia struck a civilian bus in the Sumy region, killing three women aged 66, 74, and 78.

Just like that. A bus. No reason, no military justification. Pure terrorism.

G.M. Profit Shrinks on Billion-Dollar Tariff Hit General Motors was the second auto company this week, after Stellantis, to show the toll that President Trump’s trade policies are taking on the industry.

General Motors said on Tuesday that its profit in the second quarter fell by more than a third, after President Trump’s tariffs cost the company more than $1 billion.

Österreich braucht dringend wieder mehr Kinder

Österreich braucht dringend wieder mehr Kinder

Zur Erinnerung:

In Österreich wurde wegen des Zuzugs von Kindern Anfang Juli eine gesamtstaatliche Notlage erklärt um die Familienzusammenführung zu stoppen.

Russians burned Bundeswehr vehicles in Germany and posted videos of it to Russia propaganda telegram channels.

Is this the very-very last wake-up call for Europe or nah?

Mein großartiger Kollege @fabianschmid.bsky.social hat den Journalisten und „Columbine“-Autor Dave Cullen (leider nicht auf Bluesky) zum Attentat in Graz befragt. Auf X gibt es höchstes Lob von Cullen für das Gespräch - und was soll ich sagen? Fabian ist einer der besten 👏.

ICE just arrested Brad Lander, the NYC Comptroller and one of the leading candidates for Mayor, without grounds.

He was conducting routine immigration court work, escorting individuals from hearings.

He asked ICE for their warrant - well within his legal rights.

This is political intimidation.

"You won't be needing that finger anymore"—so they cut it off.

It is a story of a Ukrainian POW, freed today from Russian captivity. 🤬

Bastards.

Why I joined DOGE — Planet Money

External Regime Change, I presume? Allein 1945 viel mehr Länder als bloß D und J; allein in Europa FR, IT, BE, NL, NO, RO usw., freilich im Sog von D, aber doch. Etliche Grenzfälle wie ARG 1982: zT durch Falklandkrieg.

More than 450 million Europeans. 29 countries. 1 shared freedom.

In 2025, we mark 40 years since the Schengen Agreement was signed.

This landmark event has reshaped how over 450 million Europeans live, work and travel.

Bildungsbereich alles nicht funktioniert. Dieser Tage kann man nicht oft genug betonen, wie viele wunderbare, empathische, kreative Lehrkräfte es in Österreich gibt, die unser Kinder durch diesen Albtraum begleiten. Danke dafür.

Das ist der Gipfel: Nun, da klar ist, dass der Täter keinen Migrationshintergrund hat, ändert der FPÖ-Klubobann Thomas Dim einfach seinen Text von "Ich wiederhole mich: Ein Land ohne Abschiebungen ist ein Land ohne Schutz" zu
"Furchtbar!". Das, nachdem zuvor in den Kommentaren übelst gehetzt wurde.

My friend Viktor Baltus has opened enrolment to all 4 of his type design courses (including 2 new ones), but only until this Friday.

I have an affiliate link if you choose to sign up, but honestly, as a past student, I’d recommend his classes anyway.

I’ve learned that Robert Slimbach — one of our greatest living type designers — is being let go by Adobe. He’s near retirement, but I’m disappointed he’s being shown the door rather than leaving on his own terms. To me, it’s more evidence of Adobe’s waning interest in original type development.

Make no mistake, Trump’s responsible for this, he gets all the blame, & it’ll certainly be a stain on his legacy…

He’ll be remembered for this pain inflicted on the American people.

We haven’t even experienced all the deceitful hidden agendas behind all these actions, stay tuned, they’re coming…

If your business model doesn’t work without breaking the law, then you’re not in business.

You’re in organized crime.

I need some #followerpower on how to replace #Uber. They are unable to issue correct invoices. The amounts do not match my payments & their form insists on UK postal codes and VAT numbers, even for Austrian addresses.

Recommendations? @asklyft.bsky.social?
