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

There’s an overlap in the results. But the way the expansion is achieved is fundamentally different. Both have their advantages and limits.

After nearly two years of economic failure and broken promises, JD Vance’s midterm pitch these closing weeks is “give us another chance.” The American people cannot afford another round of this - and the good news is we don’t have to.

I will never understand why train companies fail at this. When I book a train ticket (over the internet, with an app, fully digitally), I expect: a ticket I can add to my digital wallet, a proper invoice, a calendar file (with all details in the notes) so I can add the trip to my calendar app.

Hardly new or surprising at this point, but it's still so crazy how the US president goes to bat for Russia, aping the Russian government's propaganda, lying to the world on a Russian dictator's behalf, and trying to help Russian military aggression succeed against a US-partnered European democracy.

Zelenskyy calls Russia’s claim of a strike on one of Putin’s residences a “complete fabrication,” a lie designed to sabotage diplomacy, justify more attacks on Kyiv, and excuse Moscow’s refusal to end the war. He warns the world must not stay silent as Russia tries to derail peace.
