This post is dedicated to kondo-ing two books off my shelf today:

One from finding the author’s musings online that made me feel better about putting down a book that initially intrigued me, and Emi Nietfeld’s article on The Body Keeps The Score (great title, problematic book).

The social media era feels so much more literate than the book era; I can veer in and out to gauge intelligence, find well-communicated takedowns, etc.

Small indie industry ones definitely. Academic or single-corp backed ones not really.

For all the policy civil society yapping, there’s been a whole lotta policy changes realigning among health insurers this past week. From not cutting anesthesia to not pursuing certain debt to anti-monopoly bills. Each one of those likely shifting to save numerous lives and livelihoods.

This isn’t that, but I loved a lot of this book which talks about the cultural ways people navigated the later Soviet era, including the art and humor that came out as a response to the political climate:

“Everything Was Forever, Until It Was No More: The Last Soviet Generation”

I am collecting examples of the most thoughtful writing about generative AI published in 2024. What’s yours? They can be insightful for commentary, smart critique, or just because it shifted the conversation. I’ll post some of mine below as I go through them. #criticalAI

That was my bird app way for years when likes were public, only downside is no export or archive option.

Data viz I’d say is it’s own thing, though understanding typography and legibility very much helps. The rest seems like things in between text but I’m sure I’m biased 😅

I would say many of the typography books are layout. I mean, what else are you really arranging for the most part?
