Next up at #Clarity2019: @_dte on Where We Can Go: an exploration of what tools could be like if they treated design systems as the building material: clarityconf.com/session/where-… @_dte Dan's origin story involved building a robot from a subscription magazine that sent out pieces one at a time, and after everyone had their completed robot the magazine shared pictures of how some people had customized their robot design, which he found really cool. #Clarity2019

Good morning, we're back for day two of #Clarity2019! I'm live tweeting the sessions again, starting with @MinaMarkham on Full-Featured Art Direction for the Web!

clarityconf.com/session/full-f… @MinaMarkham “What is art direction?”

Quoting @danmall: "Art direction combines art and design to evoke a cultural and emotional reaction.”

I.e. “Design is the how, Art direction is the why.”

To me, the problem with Disney firing James Gunn from GOTG3 is that in doing so, they simultaneously legitimize (somewhat) Cernovich’s baseless conspiracy theory AND undermine the whole point of accountability in the first place. Giving *any* kind of credibility to a man who has genuinely tried to sell “super serum” (don’t ask what’s in it), routinely conducts unethically, and profits off of peddling toxic conspiracy theories, is a huge mistake on Disney’s part.

And that’s not even the worst part.

The greatest gift in season 2 of @WestworldHBO so far, for me, is Maeve's response to Dolores' rebellion: "And let me guess: yours is the only way to fight?" I think back to it almost every day. This world is so full of conflict, it's easy to forget that we built it on love, on kindness, on the stories we told one another for hundreds of thousands of years.
