How Elites Rebrand Power as Virtue - CounterPunch.org
https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/05/18/how-elites-rebrand-power-as-virtue/

A well informed rant against rutger bregman and his school for moral ambition, a powerwashing school for the elite, for them to feel good, but not to solve the issues they cause irl.

Design Beyond Barriers
https://designbeyondbarriers.com/

I don’t agree with this quote, as someone who uses code as a design tool, but …

But readable type, intuitive navigation, and smart color choices start in design, not in code. Developers build the product, but we set the foundation. It’s time to own that responsibility.

… but I really like the website and I think it is a great idea for a book.

Toolspace
https://letterror.com/articles/toolspace.html

Very interesting article about the idea that designer should make (hone) their own tools. Some quotes:

It is precisely the task of designers (graphic, industrial or whatever) to discover new possibilities.

Limitations and demands imposed by a client are easier to accept than the arbitrary limitations of your digital tools.

After all, programming graphic programs is much too important to leave to programmers.

Explorers, and that is what they are, do not want to do the same thing twice.

James Bridle: ‘The Denial of Genocide Is on the March Everywhere’ - ArtReview
https://artreview.com/james-bridle-schelling-architecture-award-the-denial-of-genocide-is-on-the-march-everywhere/

Shocking article about the ‘hysterical obedience’ in Germany:

very common in Germany, that to be law-abiding means not merely to obey the laws but to act as though one were the legislator of the laws that one obeys.

Contra Ptacek's Terrible Article On AI — Ludicity
https://ludic.mataroa.blog/blog/contra-ptaceks-terrible-article-on-ai/?1

A few extra arguments against LLMs. Mostly a personal answer/rant to an earlier article, and mostly pointing out flaws in the argumentation. For instance, that something was bad 6 months ago doesn't mean it’s good now. The same argument was used 6 months ago by the same people. Comparing people to large organisations when it comes to copyright Anonymous examples The fact that something gets attention doesn’t mean it’s as good as stated: see apps, crypto, etc. The fact that CEOs want us to use it, same thing, and even worse, because CEOs etc

The Hovercar Framework for Deliberate Product Design • Lea Verou
https://lea.verou.me/blog/2025/hovercar/

The idea that product (design) teams need a vision to work towards. The examples are a bit outdated (a car and a cruise ship should not be the ultimate goal anymore), but this is something our students should probably learn. And something we, as a school, should do as well?
