Ready to Lose

Ryan Lizza:

Trump is either victorious or victimized, but never a loser. This week marked the end of Trump trying to actually win, and the beginning of him plotting to explain why the election was stolen.

“Even a six-year-old knows better”

Michelle Obama criticizes Trump’s behavior:

A six-year-old knows this is not how adults behave, it’s not how decent human beings behave and this is certainly not how someone who wants to be president of the United States behaves. Because let’s be very clear, strong men, men who are truly role models, don’t need to put down women to make themselves feel powerful.

What a moving speech. Who is better to speak on the women issue better than our fantastic first lady.

Jessica and Tim on Donald

Jessica Walsh and Timothy Goodman use their design skills to take on Trump:

I’m with her because he’s crazy. And racist. And xenophobic. And misogynistic. And homophobic. Trump doesn’t love America, he loves himself. You may not love every thing about Hillary, but we’re all in trouble if we don’t vote for her. Please register to vote!

The Washington Post Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

Ms. Clinton, in other words, is dogged, resilient, purposeful and smart. Unlike Mr. Clinton or Mr. Bush when they ascended, she knows Washington; unlike Mr. Obama when he ascended, she has executive experience. She does not let her feelings get in the way of the job at hand. She is well positioned to get something done.

Ada News Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

Simply put, Clinton is the one candidate who presents the opportunity for steady, reliable leadership abroad and here at home. Trump’s policies, meanwhile, represent a dark, dangerous direction for the nation if implemented.

The Salt Lake Tribute Endorses Hillary

Editorial:

If she is elected, Clinton would be well advised to be much more transparent and to wall herself and her administration off from the influence of lobbyists.

Burlington Free Press Endorses Hillary

Editorial board:

Clinton’s experience is in the real world of governing, a world that requires patience, nuance and the willingness to do the hard work of mastering the facts. The presidency is no place for someone who relies on bluster and bullying.

Aaron James Draplin: Draplin Design Co.

With Helvetica text set against different colored background, the book is a little hard to read. Once I get past that readability issue, I quite enjoy Draplin’s stories, especially how he got into design. Like the man himself, his work is filled with personality, particularly his logo designs. If you haven’t listened to Draplin on podcast, I highly recommend checking him out. He curses like a motherfucker, but a very kind heart. I have tremendous respect for him.

Digital Design Theory

I love the design of this book. Helen Armstrong, who is the editor of the book, had done a wonderful job designing it. The text is set in Seria by Martin Majoor and combined with Interstate by Tobias Frere-Jones. The essays, on the other hand, are not always exciting for me. I liked some, but not all of them.

Russell Peters: Almost Famous

In his latest special for Netflix, Russell Peters continues to bank on racial jokes. Even though the material is familiar, he is still killing it, especial his interaction with the audience. One particular line stood out is when he mocked Trump hypocrisy on immigration. How could he be against immigrants when when two out of his three wives were immigrants?
