The “a” is the worst part for me. You can’t see those little stubbs at a distance. So it reads JoGuor at a distance. They didn’t just fail to create a good logo, they failed to preserve the name. One bit of advice I always give is “imagine this logo on the back of a golf card or a Pride brochure. If the logo isn’t crisp and readable in black and white in a 1/2 inch square then it sucks.” This design fails that test. Not just because of the messed up “a” but the wide spacing makes those unreadable "a"s even smaller than if the letters weren’t so widely spaced.

I would have failed every design class I took in college if I submitted that. Why such wide kerning? Why lower case but upper G? Why so round? Why so completely unreadable at a distance because of micro serifs? There isn’t one good design element in this.

We will not be rewatching that. I couldn’t make heads or tails if it when it was on the first time and I’m definitely not trying to revisit it. But it is that bad.
- Comment on B5 crossover 1 week ago:
We are working our way through it now. The first season is absolute trash that is so dull and slow that it’s almost impossible to watch. After that things pick up and start getting good. I’m told that you can skip the first season and come back and watch it later with an understanding of everything it’s setting up. But I decided to watch the first season in proper order.
After we finished this it’s on to Farscape.

Egypt didn’t use slaves to build the pyramids. They used paid skilled workers. We have their living areas and pay receipts. You are working with outdated information. Cathedrals cover a 1700 year period and multiple labor strategies. I’m sure some were built with slaves but the majority weren’t and slavery was all but absent for the majority of the period unless you count serfdom, but serfs didn’t have the skills to build them so they don’t count.

It’s not doctors that need to know. It’s the insurance companies. They wrote the policies that pay doctors based on the BMI metric. Until those policy changes happen nothing will change.
Insurance companies quietly control so much and most people don’t realize it.

- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 4 weeks ago:
Partly. Except the time different Mastodon instances were not federated much or at all. If you wanted to go follow someone on Mastodon you had to know the exact server they were on. In an environment like Reddit and Lemmy where you’re there for the communities instead of the people that isn’t an issue. But if you want to go follow some specific podcaster you need to know the instance because there’s no guarantee that whatever instance you happen upon is going to be joined up with the one there on.
Everyone was busy running their own servers and not trying to tie everything together. It was a thing that could be done but a thing not enough were doing.
- Comment on X's idiocy is doing wonders for Bluesky. 4 weeks ago:
I’m on Bluesky. I have seen a drama increase in followers in the last few days since Twitter let blocked people see content that were blocked from.
It’s a big blow to Twitter that people are finding someplace, anyplace , else to go.
I had to decide if I was going to Mastodon or Bluesky. I picked Bluesky because after reading Mastodon’s integration problems with itself I wanted nothing to do with it. It couldn’t scale unless each instance played nice and in the years since it went live they had refused to do that and showed no signs of even moving in that direction.
- Comment on So bad it was actually entertaining 4 weeks ago:
When I lived in the Tidewater area I practically made a hobby of going to places with okay food and entertainingly bad service. We were always on a mission to find the worst food. We found it at one of the “Steak Seafood Pasta” places on the Blvd. Everything came from a microwave and the freezer section of some supply company.

Oh, that’s nice. Well done.
- Comment on 3D printed 'suicide pod' used by a human for the first time 1 month ago:
It being 3D printed is the least relevant part of this. But it has to be in the headline to get clicks. But it apparently also has to be the lead? "Molecule based “suicide pod’…”, “Carbon neutral ‘suicide pod’…”, “Self actualized ‘suicide pod’…”, “Corporate sponsored ‘suicide pod’…”
There aren’t many things you could put in front of the real story here that change the story without creating an even bigger story. And 3D printed is definitely not one of them.
