- I mean is ebay still relevant?
Marketplace kind of bullied this, craigslist and any/all other classified(s) full on, eh?
Design system is slick AF though IMO.ideaist - Still relevant in EuropeOBBTKN
- ooh nice presentation!! Yup, love it.
Now, about that logo....Projectile - Very very well doneprophetone
- I quite like the site itself.. very nice.exador1
- not designed by pentagram.oey_oey
- It looks like a credit card company that's trying to be friendly. It sucks.cannonball1978
- Let’s call it a Swiss derivative. Also, a color palette that includes ALL colors, and a style that includes any type of illustration or photo. Real tight.monospaced

- They're already fucked. Trump's idea of "ending" the war is Putin keeping what he's taken, and a 20 year ban on a NATO bid for Ukraine.garbage
- At what point do you think this war became "unwinnable" when the objective was never to "liberate" formerly Ukanian territory than it was to drag RussiaKhurram
- into an interminable war in order to effect regime change in Moscow and break up the Russian Federation so to secure total global geo-strategic domination forKhurram
- American imperial interests? At point do you think that happened?Khurram
- ^ at least one alternative to this is the war continues and Ukraine loses more of its territory. It's not fair, but it might be wise.monNom
- (alternative to @garbage)monNom
- Poor Russia, dragged into a conflict it started unilaterallyrobotinc
- Khurram is talking like Russian didn't start this over a decade ago.garbage
- Did they? And at what point did you decide sacrificing Ukaine in the hopes of regime change in Moscow was a winnable strategy?Khurram
- All the Ukrainians I know are either living in Bali or Thailand. Who are they going to draft? Not enough terrorists to be supported by USA either. Shucks.Beeswax
- Remember when you said Russia would never invade Ukraine and the idea they would was all propaganda by the Western imperialists?yuekit
- This is an equally delusional take as that one. If the West wanted Russia to invade why did Biden, Macron and every other world leader beg Putin not to?yuekit

Rebrand of the Day
Spurs announced an extension of their current brand and it's quite nice. I'm very happy the monogram is back.
https://tottenhamhotspurs.shorth…
- was chatting about this yesterday at work. What do you reckon? Looks like they could have a lot of fun with it, but Spurs fans are miserable cunts!Ianbolton
- It hasn't been well received but I think a lot has to do with the timing - the Ipswich loss right before an Int. break still tastes bad. Levy isn't popular.Luda
- BUT, modern sports is also a race for branding/recognition in the marketplace. I think the whole "brand remastered" is really good. Adding orange to the...Luda
- ...palette is brave as it's so close to red. The font changes are nice. The bespoke Spurs font can now be used in sentence case. Small touch but nice.Luda
- Levy is a dick and the fact they thought they were big enough to be part of the super league a few years ago was almost hilarious.Ianbolton
- But as a designer i'm all for seeing good football brands work and bring more life to the game.Ianbolton
- Spurs were invited to be part of it so it's obvious that they're a big enough BRAND to be involved, which is what the Super League was about.Luda
- But the gap between the board and the fans is big. The timing of this branding has been seen as "tone deaf". Only on-field success will appease fans.Luda
- This is a good one. Nothing major but nice all the same.HAYZ1LLLA
- A chicken on a Segway?skinny_puppy
- The bright secondary colours feel a bit too similar to the Premier League branding, which as become widely imitatedChimp
- cock on a ball :Probthelad
- minor tweaks really, hence the overblown super swish page showing it off - lots of movement to disguise the fact that not much has changed.hans_glib
- sadly i think they've blown the monogram. they've tried too hard and ended up ruining it.hans_glib

blog
Start day! Got laid off in March and FINALLY back to work today. For the past several years I've been focused on web projects, content experiences, and content hubs as a principal UX designer at a content marketing agency.
New role is leading UX strategy for a huge enterprise application project with a major US bank. I'm excited for something more focused and specific; my role for the past several years came with so many hats, and every ounce of eccentricity, egos, arguments, creative disagreements, and more that the ad and marketing world can conjure up.
I'm going to be back in the city three days a week and taking the train again, which I'm pretty excited about just to be around other humans again and not in my basement all day.
- Congrats. That’s quite a jump. Enterprise must be full on design-system land?mort_
- Good luck! Hope you will not be bored after a year, banking moves very slowgrafician
- Woot!!!YakuZoku
- Graf - that's one thing I'm actually excited about. I was staffed to an enterprise client years ago and the pace was nice. The world I've been in was a zoo.mg33
- mort - it sounds like it. I'll be doing less design work than I've been doing and much more strategy, which is a direction I wanted to go in anyways.mg33
- Go get itgarbage
- That's great news mg - best of luck!stoplying
- fargosted
- Great news. If a UX job takes 8 months to find, I expect a motion designer job to take about 3 years once I lose my job early next year.CyBrainX
- Congrats! 3 days in the city is pretty ideal. I'm on a similar routine.slappy
- Good stuff. It sounds like the right thing for you man. Good luck!pseud

- Thanks everyone! I appreciate the congrats. Man it's wild to realize what a constant QBN has been across so many of our careers. :)mg33

Food
Is In-N-Out Burgers really that great? Has anyone tried it?
- I grew up with it, and I think they have one of the better burgers around, for sure.monospaced
- They also go out of their way to have the freshest ingredients, keep prices insanely low, and treat employees well.monospaced
- Great burgers but their fries suck. If you order "animal style" they'll add cheese + grilled onions + sauce over the fries making it not suck.koma_
- Shitty fries as koma_ stated—and just as mono said—good burgers. Their patties are never frozen (meaning it's butchered / sourced very close by and recently).PonyBoy
- Its ok. There are like 100 better spots in so cal, but prices + quality keep people coming backfuturefood
- aren't their fries cut from actual potatoes? Whose fake fries are comparing them with? MD?Beeswax
- They’re just not twice fried... yes they’re immediately / freshly cut (thin) then fried on the spot... they’re okay immediately out of the fryer-just a bit flimsy.PonyBoy
- If you ask they’ll fry them twice. They’ll do just about anything custom. And the fries are awesome just different and fresh.monospaced
- #2 add onion, no tomato. Pink Arnie. You Golden.thenohero

- Didn't say they weren't old, but 100% a meme burger. Did you forgot all the republican politicians that went all "RT IF YOU JUST FELL IN LOVE WITH IN N OUT"garbage

Elon Musk
Freedom of speech my ass.
This fuckin guy bought a major global publishing platform, took it private so he could be in control over shareholders, then forced the engineers to push notify his tweets to all users so that they would get more reach.
Freedom of speech my ass. Laughable. You’re an uneducated fool if you buy that line.
- Does the US government still have control over what appears/doesn't appear on X? Are dissenting posts...or people...silenced or removed?MondoMorphic
- Being from the Left, seeing his or Right-centric posts might be unusual, but that's just because they were previously being silenced.MondoMorphic
- You’re an idiotnb
- Musk has turned Twitter into a blatantly political, biased site...exactly what he was supposedly complaining about.yuekit
- The app triggers a push notification to me for most of his tweets even though I don’t follow him.nb
- That’s not me being over-sensitive to opposing views. It’s just him turning up his own voice over others.nb
- I have a tight curated twitter, I don’t follow anyone who drifts into politics — right, left or center. I don’t find twitter to be useful for that.nb
- But since he bought twitter, the app pushes me about 1/3 right-wing tweets, 1/3 bot follow requests, and 1/3 Elon’s posts.nb
- You can mute him. Blocking doesn't help :))grafician
- lol people talk about this guy like he’s a tech genius. He’s just a rich dude with tons of confidencenb
