Sometimes running away from things is also good.

“In every reported case where police mistakenly arrested someone using facial recognition, that person has been Black”

In every reported false arrests based on facial recognition, that person has been Black

Facial recognition software has always had trouble telling Black people apart, yet police departments are still using it.

I have to admit, I feel like if you’ve seen one cave you’ve seen them all

I made some zines https://www.matratype.com/projects/isl-zines celebrating street lettering in India, and wrote about them in my newsletter https://mailchi.mp/matratype/typographic-eye-9-zines-street-lettering-india. This set, which is hopefully the first of many more, showcases signage that uses tile as its primary material.

If you’re in India, you can buy yourself a copy from https://www.matratype.com/shop.

International payments and shipping are a headache and really inflate the price, but if you would like a copy or two, ping me and we can try to figure things out.

I bet my girlfriend that this picture of our cats could get 10 billion boosts on Mastodon.

She said she doesn't believe me. She said there's only 13 million accounts on Mastodon. She said there aren't even 10 billion people on Earth. She said it concerns her that I struggle so hard to comprehend large numbers.

Let's prove her wrong everyone. Boost away and show her just how awesome the Mastodon community is.

This heat is going to be the death of me
Bangalore has a nasty virus with n>=3 circulating which I caught, very sore throat, bad cold. So my 36-hour voyage home was no fun. When in Bangalore, I read the Deccan Herald, The Hindu, the New India Express, and the Times of India every single day. Not a single article. So much for the news.

Last night the 11yo broke down the Google Slides middle school Chatroom for me:

1. At first they used a Google doc but the infinite scroll was too chaotic
2. In the slide deck each new slide is one “post”—some all text, some images, some both—
3. They use slides’ comments feature to “reply” to each other’s “posts”
4. This allows participants to easily flip between posts using the slide thumbnail navigation, so they can find the conversations they care about easily
5. He owns the file & if anyone spams it, deletes other people’s posts, or gets nasty, he can revert the file to its previous save state & remove the spammer’s access
6. He did share the file with me on purpose, I think because he was proud & wanted me to see what he’d made

Essentially they’ve created a chatroom with moderation in Google Slides, so they can get around the school’s ban on platforms like Discord. It’s kind of brilliant
