Hah hah hah that’s funny

Obviously I’m not a visual artist so what I can create is limited. If Typebar suddenly inherited millions of dollars an art director is one of the first roles I’d want to fill hah.

How anal sex ruined my relationship - Salon.com The evening was so perfect I thought he might propose. But he had a very different proposition in mind

Salon had an art director entirely for this purpose and it lead to them having memorable and funny images like this one of “lube” and a wedding ring for a story about anal

One of the most fun elements of the editorial process is what, to borrow a term from my days at salon, the article displays look like (that is the featured image).

Honestly if it’s just something that’ll eat a weekend then I probably won’t have to close them

I eventually want to get Typebar’s editorial operations off of Gmail but it’ll be a process. Definitely not before issue 9. I will probably close submissions briefly when I am making the change. Something to be aware of for summer.

Another reminder to get off as many Google services as possible.

ooh this is good

Is that what’s happening? I don’t think this is what’s happening.

What’s actually happening is creepy guys find that women don’t like them so they have to prey on vulnerable women in poor countries

Anyway we had two really great essays on the phenomenon of Doug Walker at Typebar. Some of my favorites we've done and they're both from our very first issue!

For tax-the-rich enthusiasts, there was a time we gave people who made over $2 million a 77% income tax rate. Wouldn’t it be great if our multi-billionaires paid a rate anywhere near that today?

There’s a lot to say about Internet culture, capital S society, etc about all this. Wondering if there’s an essay here.

I’ve been thinking about how fascinating it is that Doug Walker also had a disastrous/cruel production company and terrible game show and he ended up being invited to the set of a terrible game show run by a disastrous/cruel production company.

The Shocking Secrets of Madison Square Garden’s Surveillance Machine Famously vengeful Knicks owner Jim Dolan has long spied on people at his iconic arenas. WIRED goes deep inside the operation that allegedly tracked a trans woman, lawyers, protesters, and more.

Explosive & really outrageous revelations in here about a billionaire's private surveillance network completely run amok.

If we can't stop Dolan from spying on us at MSG, let's at least cancel his sweetheart tax break. (1/2)

I just want to be respected and admired without doing anything important

The follow up video and many comments on this thread are a delight

They are attempting to throw the wool back over our eyes with framing analog techs as “inconvenient.”

What’s more inconvenient than media that can be taken away from you at a moment’s notice?

If this is true then it dovetails nicely with my theory that most comedy isn’t funny in the same way most slot machine pulls are unremarkable (forgettable even) but you remember the jackpots. Comedy just gives you more jackpot!

Viewing comedy is essentially gambling with your attention which is why I think people like it so much.

For all the stereotypes over internecine leftist doctrinaire conflicts, I would happily settle for anarcho-syndicalism if that's what ended up getting the most steam to defeat capitalism lol
