Does anyone know if Threads is Instagram with Twitter or it's own standalone app? And, if in the future it will work with the fediverse, is there any advantage or reason to start an account there vs. stay here on Mastodon?

@Brilliantcrank How do you like your services? Ads, overreaching tracking, and general enshitification or not?

It’s a trap.

Today is publication day in the US for my book, The Gutenberg Parenthesis, in which I examine society's entry into the age of print for lessons as we leave it. Bloomsbury just gave me 25% off discount codes: TGPJJ23US (US) or TGPJJ23UK (worldwide).

Just another day ordering more paper because my math didn't quite work out as expected.

Maybe now that I have some, ahem, free time, I might get back on finishing that long gestating typeface.

Third day of summer break. Decided to take my boys to the Denver Art Museum.

Not even 30 seconds into the first gallery and my oldest touches a priceless Monet painting.

The guard audibly gasped and started running towards us.

I love hearing from people that have received their free copy of “Linotype: The Film” after signing up for the Linotype Book Project.

The fact that now, 12 years from the release, people are still watching and enjoying our film about quirky people and a quirky machine brings me much joy.

@onpaperwings Expect that would be Denver maybe? Or earlier? Also old and forgetful about such things. @Luke

@onpaperwings He’s probably right. My mind is like swiss cheese when it comes to TypeCon years. It’s been a while. @erikvorhes @Luke
