Just remembered this headline from September.
The August 27th, 1995 episode of 120 Minutes might have been the best episode ever. Hosted by Soul Asylum. Videos from PUSA, Pennywise, Matthew Sweet, Built to Spill, Geraldine Fibbers, Mike Watt, John Spencer, Wilco, That Dog, Bjork, Ramones, Gas Huffer, CIV, Pavement. All so good.

Why is it that every disappeared US citizen is not front page news? At the very least we should have a little box with a count of the number of citizens who have been taken away and are not locatable and a link to a story with photos & min-bios, just as we used to do with military casually figures.
In Portland, Oregon, masked ICE GOONS abducted and vanished US citizen Gonzalo Catalan last week. Tragically, his family remains unaware of his whereabouts and has not received any communication from him as of today.

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Stephen Miller: "The scandal is how Democrats & the left scarred the landscape of our country w/grotesque so-called modern art that celebrates ugliness ... very importantly, President Trump is making sure it's in the neo-classical design around which our nation's architecture has long been directed"

ICE has been cracking down hard across the vast expanse of the greater Chicago area, and I wrote a little bit about what you need to understand about what it’s like here now. Plus, I compiled some resources for locals to get alerts and whistles. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Brand designers love the control, originality and ownership of making their own fonts. But how is custom type reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself?

Elizabeth Goodspeed on why design studios are making fonts
Custom type has become branding’s newest obsession, promising control, originality, and ownership – but its rapid rise is reshaping the culture and economy of type design itself.
