I love references to kerning and leading, and this one is <chef's kiss>
The kerning here is absolutely SENDING me

And even in my list of things I didn't add... I forgot Watchmen, and I think about that series all the time.
NYTimes giving me a chance to vote for my favorite TV shows of this century (www.nytimes.com/interactive/...), and while I like my list (below), I'm just annoyed about what I couldn't put on it.

What scene makes you emotional no matter how many times you see it?
"And, I know what a greater fool is, and I want to be one."
"Ask me again."

During the pandemic I really got into long form video essays -- to the point where i started to write and draft my own content that I thought i would produce.
The thing is though no one will want to see me talk on screen for 20 or 30 or 40 minutes or whatever. (I know I wouldn't.)

How the AI will take over:
I use my AI helpers to break down tasks and create to-do lists, I wonder if it won’t be so much the AI killing of us like in Terminator, as much as it will be subtly taking over our days in online calendars, online todo lists, and ticketing systems

I probably think way too much about eggs.
For example, I made french toast this weekend, and I used extra large eggs as opposed to large eggs. I noticed that I could make 1 more piece of french toast with the same number of extra large eggs vs. the same number of large eggs. Why? Standards.
