Yeah, somebody is gonna need to print a special edition and use that.

This isn’t a rebrand just for the sake of it. It’s a reflection of who we are and who we’re becoming: B2B-minded. Purpose-driven. Uncomfortable with ordinary. Check out the new site and let us know what you think: grafik.agency

What's changing? Starting today, Dribbble designers and clients who meet on Dribbble must keep payments on Dribbble. This means designers are no longer permitted to display or share their contact information (like email addresses, phone numbers, social media handles) prior to client payment on Dribbble. After payment, designers and clients are able to exchange contact information.

I have seen some dumb sh*t in my day, and this move by Dribbble will easily fall into the top 5 dumbest things a company has done to its user base. What kind of idiot thought this would be smart, FFS?

Hearing that a client is using ChatGPT to listen to presentations in real time because this person cannot form intelligent feedback on their own—FOR THE JOB THEY WERE HIRED TO DO—is the bee's knees. /s

Seriously. The complacent air of defeat is driving me nuts.

Democrats MUST BOOO whenever the republicans clap. DONT JUST SIT THERE quietly!

What are we back from?

There goes mail-in voting

Dangerous game using placeholder copy that seems so real it could be confused as final. I use selections from Alice in Wonderland—looks like real text, and has sentence structure like real text, but is very obviously not the real text.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

No doubt

Practice and training to ensure that the gov can continue to function in the event of a crisis and are designed to protect national leadership to maintain command and control. They happen with regularity.

Swasticars.

IS THIS WHAT'S HAPPENING HERE? Trump is fast-tracking an economic crash; The resulting unrest allows Trump to activate the Insurrection Act; This gives cover to suspend Posse Comitatus and deploy the military on U.S. soil; Which then allows Trump to declare Martial Law and suspend the Constitution.

Don’t forget how many Germans in the Nazi party were just “doing their jobs.” This kind of complacency and denial is very dangerous.

Currently trying to extricate myself from Instagram. Man, the addiction is real and it's fucking hard. Must. Quit. Meta.

Hoping to see UnderConsideration and BrandNew join Bluesky soon! Their industry voice and impact is a much-needed addition. Help spread the word so we can get them on here too!

Bluesky, meet Butter. There is no low-fat substitute for this kind of handsome.

Maybe it's an unpopular opinion, but removing actual rear-view mirrors in favor of digital screens is a MAJOR misstep. Digital screens cannot convey 3-dimensional space like a mirror, have a limited field of view, and because of that, they're less safe and terrible for far-sighted drivers.

That is terrifying and it will be a miracle if that home hasn't burned.

Bet they’re wrong

Yeah, it's definitely that.

I dunno. It's kinda nostalgic. In the right scenario, it could be really nice in that way.

A throwback to this illustration I did for a local restaurant serving up authentic street-style Mexican food. Inspired by the Mayan jaguar mask and set amongst a jungle of tacos!

And people claim there is no such thing as systemic discrimination. 🙄

Agreed. @figma.com's model is highway robbery.

Don't close your screen on that. The touch bar was SOOO useful for keynote presentations. Miss it.
