Friction and not being touched
https://tante.cc/2025/07/30/friction-and-not-being-touched/

AI is an everything machine, which fits perfectly in a frictionless dystopia. A plea for more friction. I agree fully.

Opinie | De geesten worden klaargemaakt voor een permanente mobilisatie - NRC
https://archive.ph/LVZm3

Kritiek op westerse oorlogstaal wordt gezien als naïef, maar er is een blind vertrouwen op een industrie die geld verdient met het uiteenrijten van lichamen.

Laten we weigeren onze kinderen op te offeren in naam van een natiestaat

A Useful Guide to Bad Type
https://letterror.com/articles/bad-type.html

Very useful, extensive guide. Many points apply to other fields of design as well.

Creating a tool to execute the idea means innovation. Compromising the idea to the tool leads to stagnation.

I should sit down one day with some colleagues and write a similar useful guide to bad web design.

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.
