Hey Simon, you like Clowncore. I bet you like Louis Cole's stuff.

This is a link post Tony has died
After a nasty terminal cancer, Tony of Spite Your Face has died.

He was a housemate to my wife when we first met - a house full of animation graduates - and he was doing brickmation for fun, along with commercial work. Without him, there probably wouldn't be a Lego Movie. Knights of the Round Table in Lego - that was his, and lots more.

Go take a look, raise a glass, and be happy he did good work for us to enjoy.

Global cancer research is getting billions in funding. A quick Google shows the US alone is spending about 2.7% of it's GDP on cancer research. That's a greater proportion than they spent on the Moon landings.

This is a normal post Degenrative diseases get much less mainstream covfefe
Because they're not new in humans, are slow to develop, and the number of cases doesn't fluctuate as dramatically as in a pandemic. They also lack the social aspect of a contagious disease. It's a different story with science news feeds, where cancer research generates dozens of headlines daily.

I also really don't understand how she's championing selling Indian and Kenyan tea to China, but somehow global trade in other food is a disgrace.

I'd really like to know where she thinks the 1/3 of tea we don't import, according to her, comes from.

Edit: I stand corrected. Apparently, tea is grown in Cornwall, although I highly doubt it amounts to 1/3 of tea consumption in the UK. Also, zero tea is grown in Yorkshire, and Yorkshire Tea contains zero British grown tea.

This is a normal post I recall being told many years ago when doing IT stuff in London that I was eminently unqualified to do that serif fonts like times new roman were inherently more legible than san serif fonts
because the serifs conveyed more visual information about the letters allowing for more rapid identification, though I have no idea if this was based on research. Most designers shy away from them because they look old-fashioned, and perhaps even if the above was true once it no longer is now, as millennials are less familiar with serif-fonts (and cursive handwriting for that matter) than the older generation

If the pixel density is high enough (a 27" 4K screen, for example), then you'll have no issue with serif font legibility, but assuming the average office screen is a 23" 1080p display, the serifs are still going to be problematic.
