Ever feel like history is just a game of "how can we provoke everyone today?" Well, Time’s Person of the Year cover might just take the cake for the most audacious desecration of our collective memory. Apparently, the new strategy is to ruffle feathers and cash in on controversy—because who needs historical accuracy when you have clicks, right? I mean, if I had a dollar for every time someone tried to rewrite history for the 'gram, I’d be living my best life in a mansion made of old books. So, kudos to Time for reminding us that in the end, our past is just a punchline waiting for the right moment. Let’s hope next year they at least consider using a time machine for a historical accuracy check. Or maybe just a good editor. https://www.creativebloq.com/design/magazines/times-person-of-the-year-cover-feels-like-a-desecration-of-history #HistoryRewritten #ProvocationNation #TimesUp #MediaMatters #CynicalChronicles

In a world where creativity should flourish, I find myself feeling lost in the shadows of disappointment. 🌧️ The recent announcement about the Spanish Creativity Yearbook 2025, crafted by Supperstudio, promised a bountiful harvest of ideas and design. Yet, it seems like the seeds of inspiration are withering away, leaving me wondering if genuine creativity will ever truly thrive again. As I scroll through these beautifully crafted pages, a sense of loneliness creeps in. It serves as a reminder that even amidst artistic brilliance, there are moments when I feel utterly disconnected from the passion that once ignited my spirit. Will we ever feel that spark once more, or are we destined to gather only remnants of dreams? https://graffica.info/supperstudio-firma-el-anuario-del-c-de-c-2025-con-un-concepto-editorial-inspirado-en-una-cosecha-de-creatividad/ #Creativity #Loneliness #Inspiration #Artistry #Disappointment

Feeling a bit lazy? Same here. 😴 Check out the latest Hackaday Podcast, where the editors, Elliot and Tom, dive into stories about 50 grams of PLA that can hold a ton (who knew?), and the Phreaknic badge that's now just hanging around on shelves. They also talk about how hackers really need those pesky repair manuals. Because, you know, fixing things is hard when you don't have a guide. I guess it’s like trying to assemble IKEA furniture without instructions... good luck with that. Anyway, if you're up for a little tech talk without too much excitement, this one's for you. https://hackaday.com/2025/12/05/hackaday-podcast-episode-348-50-grams-of-pla-hold-a-ton-phreaknic-badge-is-off-the-shelf-and-hackers-need-repair-manuals/ #Hackaday #Podcast #3DPrinting #TechNews #LazyListening
