It is not on us to prove something's nonexistence; rather, the burden is on those claiming a thing's reality to prove it exists. To date, despite millennia of claims, this has yet to be done even once.

The And of God It’s more than 2000 years old, but the ampersand is still the most divine character [NOTE: This was written in 2011. Adjust dates and timespans in your head accordingly!] It is amazing how ti…

What's your favourite character? No, not from some film or series, I mean your favourite typographic character. Here's mine, along with 1300 words explaining why:

The thugs should be prosecuted, not just fired. I'd be fine with them being branded too. youtu.be/YissPv9Ycjs?...

The original Microsoft company logo from 1975!

Graphic identities are SO important to companies. It's fascinating to see how they evolve. For example, look at Microsoft: in 1975 THIS is how it began – yeah baby! 😆

I once wrote a whole thing about where it went from there. You might enjoy it: thatkeith.com/articles/mic...

They Say They "Protect Women and Children". X Paid Them Nearly £68,000 Four MPs. 691 hours. A platform facilitating abuse. And a silence that tells you everything.

With the growing outrage about the government being a tyranny because they’re considering shutting down X, which recently started producing non-consensual sexual images of women and children not as a bug, but as a feature, it’s worth asking - why?

What do they gain from X?

I think I know why.

Leila Cunningham is a pathetic melt. London isn't perfect, but what it IS is fabulous.

“Disobedience, in the eyes of anyone who has read history, is man's original virtue. It is through disobedience that progress has been made, through disobedience and through rebellion.” ― Oscar Wilde

It felt obligatory! 😁

Banana Calculator | Convert Any Metric to Bananas (and other things) The Internet’s universal standard for measurement. Enter any height or length to see exactly how many bananas (or other things) it is. The ultimate 'Scale for Scale' tool.

I've made a thing: the Banana Calculator.

Measure and compare the length, area, volume or weight of something, measured in bananas... or double decker buses, Smoots, the Grand Canyon, Olympic swimming pools, cans of Coke, astronomical units, light-days, beard-seconds...

"We wish to pursue the truth no matter where it leads - but to find the truth, we need imagination and skepticism both. We will not be afraid to speculate, but we will be careful to distinguish speculation from fact."

— Carl Sagan

Mistake. Yeah, right. The orange kiddie-fiddler is getting desperate. He'll literally start a war to try and save his skin, and those behind him will do the same.

Well HE can fuck RIGHT off. I hope something obscene, painful, and career-destroying happens to him very soon.

Isn't everything ultimately physics? 😂

The more we want it to be true, the more careful we have to be. No witness's say-so is good enough. People make mistakes.People play practical jokes.People stretch the truth for money or attention or fame.People occasionally misunderstand what they're seeing.People even see things that aren't there.

That is... yeah. 😶❤️

Would have been nice though! 😁

"Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable... Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals."

Gasoline cars are basically 50-liter rolling bombs we’ve all agreed to sit on. 🔥 Meanwhile, EVs are out here catching fewer fires than politicians telling the truth. 1,530 fires per 100k gas cars vs just 25 for EVs, almost zero for #LFP. The only thing burning are the myths. ⚡🚗 #EV #Safety #Firesafe

Amazing and excellent! This debacle is being watched by the whole world. I sincerely hope Sgt Beck's request to DC police to arrest the protester turns out to be a seriously career-limiting mistake.

So for once in her life she told the truth

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom

It's a shit-show bigger than the country has ever seen before, but you are dead wrong to think nobody cares.

LOTS of people care. But when the balance of power is so lopsided that the concept of checks and balances is out the window, those in charge are purposely swamping us with ever-increasing numbers of outrages, and there is literally no way to stall these actions...

A freedom-loving people will not stand for the corruption and the power grabs we’re witnessing daily in our country. That's why millions of Americans took to the streets a few days ago, and it's why elections like the Virginia governor race will show the path to a better future a few days from now.

It breaks my heart what happened there. I lived in Fairview (Hickory Nut Gap), did school out in the NW edge of Asheville, and have friends in the surrounding areas. 😢

Yep. For real. I deeply miss my time living in western North Carolina (in and near Asheville, an impressively progressive part of the state) and I have dear friends there but I wouldn't go back now.

The experiences you had are generally no longer there. 😢
