    not to be a downer but a lot of the important interior designers from that era were killed by the AIDS epidemic

    Sometimes that Boston accent slips out when you least expect it

    One of my hotter takes is that this is a significant reason for pro-urbanist and anti-car attitudes in younger generations. Cars stopped looking cool.

    I’m no engineer but I feel like there’s probably a good reason that nobody’s ever made a successful car with flat surfaces and sharp angles

    Genuinely can’t think of a single part of driving a car that would be made better with a touchscreen.

    I’ve always appreciated the hand painted chrome-style lettering all over Detroit and had no idea all these signs were done by one guy

    For the past month, I’ve been working on a project to map out and document the work of one of the most prolific storefront sign painters in the US - this is Detroit’s Ron Signs

    Korean fried chicken…. I don’t get the love for this? The sauce is too spicy and garlicky. The breading is to thick. If you’re going to eat fried chicken a schnitzel is the go to option. Not this trash.

    Feel like I’m living in a different world from the people who use AI for entertainment. Like I’m watching people devolve into a lower form of intelligence.

    This is peak advertising. You could pay ad guys a million dollars and they wouldn’t come up with something this good.
