 Trump just slapped a 50% tariff on Lesotho—a country where the average person lives on less than $5 a day. Why? Because we import a few hundred million in diamonds and textiles from them, and they’re too poor to buy anything back. That’s it.

We’re hammering one of the poorest nations on Earth like they’re China. You think Lesotho is the reason we lost steel jobs in Ohio? Be serious. This isn’t strategy—it’s punching down for applause from people who can’t find Lesotho on a map.

topic_title: QBN Conspiracy of the day

post:
 I'm working on a generic all-purpose response I can cut and paste into all discussions with the enlightenedocracy

this is what I have so far but it seems way too tame not crazy enough:

Yeah exactly! - Soros bankrolls the destabilization cells through "grassroots movements" that are just proxies for the Open Society sleeper network. Meanwhile, Bill Gates — a eugenics frontman since his dad's Planned Parenthood days — funds synthetic meat initiatives to collapse the gut biome and make you compatible with CRISPR 3.0 edits. The Bilderberg Group takes orders straight from the ancient Phoenician merchant guilds, and the Trilateral Commission? They’re just the middlemen between BlackRock asset managers and the breakaway human elites hiding in Antarctica. The Bohemian Grove rituals aren’t symbolic either — they’re binding spells to keep the masses docile while DARPA engineers 6G brainwave grids in partnership with the Vatican’s Jesuit tech division. NASA’s firmament-monitoring stations are failing, CERN keeps ripping holes into lower astral planes, and no one talks about how Big Pharma and the Rothschilds sit on the same steering committees. But go ahead — laugh. That’s how the Archon program identifies who’s ready for the next round of mass memory wipes. It's all connected.


post:
 or this

You have no idea how deep it goes. George Soros is just the public-facing wizard — the real strings are pulled by the Saturnian priesthood hiding in the Arctic Circle, the original architects of the Great Reset. Bill Gates? He’s the soft-speaking horseman of the biotech apocalypse, slipping graphene oxide into synthetic milk while his AI farms terraform the soil to reject natural life. The Bilderberg puppets meet under DUMB bases linked by Tesla tunnels operated by the Black Sun Order — yes, them — and the World Economic Forum’s 2030 Agenda? It’s a blueprint for psychic farming. You think your dreams are yours? They're harvested nightly by frequency siphons disguised as 5G towers. NASA’s real job is maintaining the holographic dome while CERN drills interdimensional escape routes for the elite families — the Rockefellers, the Rothschilds, the Li family, and the Jesuits — all under the Committee of 300’s orders. Meanwhile, Soros-funded NGOs are setting up urban containment zones, training insects with DARPA microchips to enforce post-collapse quarantines. The pyramids? Giant resonance batteries. The Queen didn’t die — she shifted density. And every time you scan a QR code, you sign a spiritual consent form you didn’t even know existed. Look at the logos. Look at the hand signs. It’s all ritual. They’re not hiding it anymore. Wake up. WAKE UP. Before the black cubes activate and time resets again.

 The AI Race Has Gotten Crowded—and China Is Closing In on the US

https://www.wired.com/story/stan…


post:
 I guess the most recent "golden age" of the US might be post-WWII boom, around the 1950's; America emerged as a global superpower, with massive industrial growth, suburban expansion, strong middle class.

A high school diploma could get you a house, a car, and support a family. College was affordable and often free in public institutions. There was a big government investment in infrastructure, education, and science (think: highways, NASA, public schools). There was more trust in institutions, and America was a manufacturing powerhouse.

Today, dual-income households still struggle to afford basics like housing, childcare, and healthcare, sadly.

topic_title: Science

post:
 “One of the most powerful laws is the second law of thermodynamics, which establishes that entropy—a measure of disorder in an isolated system – can only increase or stay the same, but it will never decrease.”

Based on this famous law, Vopson expected that entropy in information systems—which his previous research defined as a “fifth state of matter”—should similarly increase over time. But it doesn’t. Instead, it remains constant, or even decreases to a minimum value at equilibrium. This is in direct contrast to the second law of thermodynamics, which inspired Vopson to adopt the Second Law of Information Dynamics (or Infodynamics).

“We know the universe is expanding without the loss or gain of heat, which requires the total entropy of the universe to be constant,” Vopson wrote in The Conversation. “However we also know from thermodynamics that entropy is always rising. I argue this shows that there must be another entropy—information entropy—to balance the increase.”

Vopson argues that this law plays a role in atomic physics (electron arrangement), cosmology (see above), and biological systems. This last one is where Vopson makes a big claim: contrary to Charles Darwin’s idea that mutations occur randomly, mutations actually occur so that information entropy is minimized. Vopson analyzed the constantly-mutating SARS-CoV-2 (a.k.a. COVID-19) virus, and his paper on that investigation—published this past October in the journal AIP Advances—shows a “unique correlation between the information and the dynamics of the genetic mutations.”

What this all adds up to, in Vospon’s estimation, is that the Second Law of Infodynamics could also be used to prove that we live in a simulation.

“A super complex universe like ours, if it were a simulation, would require a built-in data optimization and compression in order to reduce the computational power and the data storage requirements to run the simulation,” Vopson wrote in The Conversation. “This is exactly what we are observing all around us, including in digital data, biological systems, mathematical symmetries and the entire universe.”

All of these claims require significant further testing and verification before even being considered plausible

post:
 “Weird.”

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with that word.

Growing up, half my friends called me weird like it was a put-down. The other half wore it like a badge. I had one foot in with the mainstream crowd, the other with the new wavers and skaters — the ones who embraced their weirdom, turned it into art. For some, “weird” meant off. For others, it meant original.

Recently, one of those old mainstreamers threw it at me again. In a group chat, he misread something I said and replied with: “your weird life up north.” I took a breath, steered myself away from a harsh reply. Because here’s the context: at that exact moment, he was drinking alone, babysitting his ex-girlfriend’s dogs, making vile, racist comments about his Indian clients who dared to negotiate his overinflated home improvement prices.

This is a guy who drank himself out of two relationships, can’t go 60 seconds without talking about him or his “awesome kids,” had his wife do his books because he coasted through high school, he's buried in credit card debt and living in the exact part of town we used to laugh at — and sings like a hammered karaoke fail during Zoom calls.

I find that weird.

So when grafician calls palim “weird,” I can’t help but laugh — the same kind of laugh I have when people who lack self-awareness try to sound sharp. Because weird is deeply subjective. Personally, I find palim to be pleasantly avant-garde — like someone you’d meet at an art opening in SoHo, someone who makes you think.

And grafician? I find him weird. The kind of weird that’s strange and hollow. A narcissistic blowhard who hasn’t posted a single piece of professional work on QBN, yet somehow finds the time to post daily rants about America, MAGA, and Donald Trump — like a guy living rent-free in a country he doesn’t even inhabit. He leans on AI for insight, cosplays as a geopolitical analyst, and pretends to know everything about everything.

That’s not bold. That’s not artistic. That’s just fucking strange.

And I've been holding onto something for a long time now...

Several years ago I received two emails from an anonymous person. It said that I was a second-rate marketer in broken English. It was short and the person said "it was only time until I get your phone number". The email was from MrMister.

The broken english, the lack of creative email name, the fact that they had to work to find my information and that they signed off with "someone you pissed off" points my radar at a QBN user.

This I find unacceptable. Whoever did that should be kicked off the platform. And whoever did it should never have the balls to call anyone else weird for the rest of their weird life.

 If you read this article from last year they seem to be describing exactly what Trump implemented...

"The simplest way to achieve trade balance would be through a global tariff that adjusts up and down periodically based on whether the United States is running a trade deficit."

So these ideas were already being planned by right-wing nationalist "intellectuals" for a long time. But the media mostly ignored it because they didn't think the Trump admin would be stupid enough to actually try to implement them.

Just another day for you - spiraling between insecure sarcasm, shaky historical claims, and what amounts to a tantrum disguised as a roast.

You keep asking for proof of America’s golden age like Google’s blocked in your timezone. We literally had a multi-decade stretch of booming industry, tech dominance, middle-class expansion, global cultural export, and innovation from the microchip to moon landings. But sure — act confused so you can keep playing the smartest guy at QBN, the designer's forum that you haven’t contributed actual work to, Mr Buttons.

You wanna lecture us about fonts? Graf, you’ve been on QBN since 2011 and still haven’t posted a single piece of real design — but suddenly you’re the final boss of typography? No one’s begging you for font help, Mr Bitters, and you easily confuse font identification with actual creativity, concepts, composition and design all of which you apparently lack or you would've posted work here.

And yeah, the Web was invented by a Brit — congrats. So were teabags. America still built the platforms you're whining on daily, in English, using American software, on American hardware, complaining about American elections like you have voting rights. You hate the U.S. so much, but you orbit it like it’s your sun. You blame all Americans for Donald Trump because your critical thinking is critically low.

You're not the scourge of QBN. You’re the mascot for empty flexing and intellectual cosplay. Either post work or log off, we’ve got fonts covered "bro".

 I'm no Arsenal fan, but what Declan Rice did yesterday is bonkers. To score ONE free kick like this...in the quarters of the Champions League....against the absolute kings of the competition (Real Madrid)....and against one of the top top keepers in the world....is an outstanding achievement.
But he did it TWICE, with the second kick being arguably better than the first. Take a bow, Declan Rice.

 It must be so frustrating as a graphic design fan boy to run into successful designers who don't know every font published.

Knowing every font and never designing is like being a librarian who’s never read a book — technically impressive, functionally useless. Like memorizing every guitar chord and never writing a single song.

I’ve worked with national brands and global agencies while you’re over here acting like a glorified font sommelier... swirling around typefaces without the design to back it up.

It's UNREAL.

I don't care whether I've earned your respect, I've got this list of REAL WORK and REAL BRANDS I've worked with in the REAL WORLD.

BRANDS YOU KNOW
American Express
Camel
Chrysler
Dentsply Sirona
Dodge
Dodge Racing
Jeep
Kimberly-Clark
Kleenex
Land Rover
Mazda
Mercedes Financial
Mopar
Motorstate
NVIDIA
Orient-Express Hotels
SEGA
Thompson Hotels
Vail Resorts
YUASA

BRANDS YOU MAY KNOW
Agency 7 (Kickstarter)
American Academy of Building Arts
Andersen Material Handling
Aries (automotive)
Beachman (electric bike)
Bilstein (automotive)
Blackbridge Motors
Casa Saltshaker
Cedar Palace
Charleston Area Rapid Transit Authority
Coastal Tees
Collectors Automotive
Coverland (car covers)
CURT (automotive)
Cypress Capital Group
Detour Auto
Fiberspoke (racing steering wheels)
Get’em Garage
Gourmet Easy
Hilton Parker (law)
InMotion (automotive)
Just Dashes (seen on Jay Leno)
Kalitta (automotive)
Luverne (automotive)
Michigan Facial Surgeons
MOJA (event)
Moorehead Dentistry
Oil Advantage
Parks Auto Group (fleet management)
Performance Improvement
Power Direct (marketing)
Pro Leasing Services (fleet management)
Quest Defenders
RawleMurdy (advertising)
SHEA Construction
South Carolina Aquarium
St Clair Inn
Teal Autoparts
Tenurgy (utility & finance)
The Charleston Place
USS Yorktown
Venture Technologies (IT)
Voltbox (product)
Whip-It! Inventions (cleaning products)

This is like the third time you've mentioned the What the Font thing, I hope you get it – your opinion of me and anyone who doesn't know all the fonts in the world is completely irrelevant to being a successful designer.

I've got new music coming out, can imagine how stupid it would sound if someone dogged me for not knowing how to play the french fucking horn or bassoon. Even if they did, I got music signed, and they don't, so there's really no argument to have anymore.

So, nice try, and please stop trying.

comment: No, that was actually a pretty accurate IMAGE I have about you. Maybe the REAL you outside QBN is beautiful

comment: So maybe STOP projecting and being insecure with the boasting about careers to make a point *facepalm* AGAIN

comment: You called me a font-ignorant dork and now you’re pretending you’re the victim of projection? That’s rich.

comment: I pointed out that doing actual design for real clients means more than memorizing type catalogs like a trivia night host.

comment: You don’t sound like someone defending a point — you sound like someone scrambling to save face after realizing being a font snob doesn’t make you a designer.

comment: Don't you understand basic language? YES I called you that because thay is MY opinion of you. Just like you project a lot of bullshit about me. Fair? :)

comment: Being a "font snob" is not a thing. You projected that.  I consider a designer a person with basic typography skills and I am surprised you don't seem to have

Now, for the Punches for:

What exactly IS the TV bit of Prime? My kid's gotten into Tom and Jerry, so I Googled and found places that show it - one of which is Prime, so I thought "Ok, I can use that for the last month I'll have it" but nope - you have to pay for it. Wut. I knew it did that with movies, havng borrowed a friend's account a while back, but Tom and fucking Jerry? Literal 80-year old content? I can't recall what the cost was, but it was like £2+ an episode. *hands in air*

So I did what every right-thinking person should do, I Torrented about 6Gb worth, so the kid'll be fine for a wee while.

 Huge props to the guy who smashed his Escalade into my parked (and empty) 2015 Subaru yesterday. He wrote an apologetic, sincere note with his phone number and called his insurance company to report the accident. One hour after the accident (my wife was in a meeting at her office and had no idea what happened), his insurer called me to tell me they had an appointment set up with a quality local body shop, and had arranged for a rental car to be waiting at the body shop for my wife to drive.
Kind of sad that I feel lucky that this person was doing the right thing, but here we are. Damages are exceeding $4k and we won't have to pay a dime.

 In 2024, the United States exported approximately 172.8 million dozen eggs, encompassing both table eggs and egg products (measured in shell egg equivalents). This represents a 4.5% decrease from the previous year.

That’s more than we imported. Weird.


post:
 In 2024, the United States produced approximately 109 billion eggs.  During the same year, the U.S. imported around 15 million dozen eggs (equivalent to 180 million eggs) and exported approximately 344 million dozen eggs (equivalent to 4.13 billion eggs).

This indicates that imported eggs accounted for approximately 0.17% of the total eggs consumed in the U.S. in 2024.

 RE: suspicious bump

Had a biopsy yesterday and should get results within 10 days. It's likely to be basal cell carcinoma, but there's another condition that can look just like that.

The dermatologist said that based on the position (it's basically in  the fold between my left nostril and the regular skin of my face beside it) surgery wouldn't require too many stitches and the incision would be minimal. That really made me feel better because I've seen some insane incisions to pull skin tighter for even a small bit of skin cancer.

Glad I got the biopsy done and eager to hear the results.

topic_title: Grafician Hate Why?

post:
 The difference between someone who has made it — or at least worked at legit shops — often comes down to one thing: the ability (or inability) to take criticism.

The evolution usually goes like this...

Infantile: “I got a job at a great place. I must be awesome.”

Youthful Hype: “This place is cool, and the clients are big — but wow, there’s a lot of talent here.”

Awkward Teen: “I love telling people where I work. But damn, I haven’t sold anything yet. Am I even good?”

Getting Real: “That Creative Director just shredded my concept... and they were right. I should stop taking everything so personally.”
Grounded: “That feedback was legit. It’s not about me — it’s about the work.”

Experienced: “I’ve sold some things. I’ve failed on some. Either way, I’m open. Let’s make it better.”

Zen Mode: “Creativity isn’t constant. Some projects hit, some don’t — and that’s okay. It’s not about defending every pixel. It’s about the result. The goal. The growth.”

Graf, when you 'stand by your work' like it's untouchable, without recognizing the difference between what’s good and what’s just... there, you’re not showing confidence — you're showing you’re stuck.

Still defending your output like a fragile badge. Still reacting like feedback is an attack, not an opportunity. That’s not Zen. That’s still Infantile Mode with a portfolio.

If you’re really as seasoned as you act, you’d know: standing by mediocre work without self-awareness isn’t bravery. It’s just blindness dressed as pride.

 thanks @Continuity for featuring some of my work around here

I am very proud of my work, always trying to make it better, and will post more of it soon

I also featured some of your work, and while you think my work is bad (compared to what?!), I find your work to have great potential, so if you consider a job currently, I will ask around my old buddies in agencies if they have anything for a junior executive creative director okay?

Thanks again man

THIS! Coming from our number one shit poster with an average of at least 15 posts in "America is Fucked" and "Donald Trump".

Your fixation on the United States isn’t intellectual—it’s always emotional. You don’t sound informed. You sound wounded. You need America to be the villain because without it, you’ve got nothing to rant about, nothing to hate, and no one to blame. You talk about the U.S. more than its citizens do and you're not challenging power in real life... you're just cosplaying as its critic because it gives you an identity. It’s not activism. It’s dependence. And at this point, it’s embarrassing.

As expected I was right.

Buttons aka Gaffe has a portfolio of work for literally Acme companies. After a quick look I would expect that about 85% of the "works" in his portfolio are not commissioned, never sold or are personal project/exploration.

How can someone who claims to have worked professionally since 2008 not have any real work in their portfolio? Serious question.

The deadpan giveaway is the lack of fluid understanding of how graphic design projects works... as in he doesn't explain the problem or challenges and the solutions and decision making process. The work itself is not offensive by any stretch in fact there's a few winners in there, but of course, it's not real.

You can't claim to be a professional unless you've dealt with real world problems like clients coming in and ruining your great idea, or a copywriter coming in and flipping the script: adding another 3 words to fuck up your headline layout, or having to pull an all nighter because of the lacky account team not doing their project management job, or any other headache that we have to solve throughout the process of launching a campaign, site, etc.

Jagov creates a perfect world in which to showcase his home work and calls himself a designer. Jagov creates a perfect world in which to showcase his homework and calls himself a designer.

That’s like someone building a treehouse in their backyard, calling themselves an architect, then mocking people who’ve actually dealt with clients, budgets, and clients who want the windows moved after the house is framed.

The difference isn’t taste — it’s battle scars. And you don’t earn those by picking fonts and posting homework.

He's a joke. We all knew it.

About as real as those two randos who suddenly showed up in the middle of the night to 'critique" my work. Two accounts, no content, no history, no prior interaction — just weird personal attacks out of nowhere.

https://www.qbn.com/bigrobot/
https://www.qbn.com/robthelad/

They've also been members for 15 years yet there's no content trail. No work. No threads. Just shadows.

What kind of pathetic person creates fake accounts and uses them to harass members?

Was the work successful with the client and target groups? Project goals achieved? Money in the bank?

Did you had fun doing the work?

Anything else doesn't matter, we work for our clients not for the opinions of other designers...

comment: what? so u are not in it for aesthetics but for the bank .... thats lower than low..

comment: if u dont care about other designers work u dont care about the discipline...

comment: No, not really, opinions of other designers after the work was completed and shipped are moot :))

comment: so only care that u have but not the designers watching it... very altruistic...

comment: have fun

html_comment: have fun

comment: I get your point @never but weshould care if the work was successful for the client. No ego and all that, aesthetics come after

comment: So that explains why you talk so much shit about other people’s work. It’s because aesthetics come after client needs and all that. Got it.

comment: Even you said canoe's banners are not there :)) talking shit, not so much, when several people point flaws, maybe reconsider the post/work?

comment: fuck the client.... especially when he has an asshole product like alchohol, cars or sports...

comment: I never took the same position that aesthetics don’t matter, so I’m not holding myself to that. YOU said that.

comment: I wasnt super impressed with his ads (not banners necessarily), but they aren’t shit by a long shot.

comment: So basically you're admitting graf that you hate-trolled my work because you don't like me. I knew that already ofc I just didn't think you'd present your bias

comment: so everyone would know that you haven't matured past your early teens. Swift man, real swift. Why does everyone hate grafician?

 AND on a side note, funny that you used Neutraface, the same typeface that this loser @canoe didn't know and triggered his hate for me when I pointed it out...

Maybe you knew that, maybe you didn't ;))

post:
 I only had and will have this @grafician account, as my work is public and I can own anything I post.

Just like dopepope, PhanLo, maquito and many others - we do the work, we have public profiles, lives outside QBN...

Anybody that says I create new accounts around here is an idiot to say the least...

comment: As for the work, posts on dribbble are with real work, shipped most of those. I also post some personal and wip bits.

comment: The years and the work all there. Switched from mainly in advertising jobs to product design around 2015-2016

comment: sorry, will not boast about my career like canoe to prove a point he's the most amazing lol

comment: This forces you to finish the project the same month. To be safe I don't take clients on December otherwise I would have to split  the files.

comment: By year, with project's name and month worked yes

comment: That's weird, I don't perceive our generation as being very right-wing. Maybe because the older Gen Xers grew up during the Reagan era?

post:
 145% tariff on China is going to wipe out many small businesses

Even though Trump paused the larger tariffs the current situation is still disastrous

Trump supporters seem determined to find out what happens when they shoot themselves in the foot...will it really blow up my foot etc

comment: It's also screwing his buddy Elmo. Tesla imports many parts from China.

comment: Leaving 10% for everybody else like Sudan or whatever while adding to 125% for China...bad bad move when China is top 3 business partner

comment: Markets down again because of China tariffs - the only ones that counted!

comment: They mentioned it adds up to an average tariff rate of around 25% when you factor in the amount imported from China etc

comment: The first design convo here in 10 years and it's a pissing contest.

comment: I'm not pissing on his design itself. I'm pissing on that he doesn't live up to his own hype which is presented in belittling remarks to exp'd designers.

comment: i_monk, I've created 2 or 3 work related threads and tried very hard to get people to TALK about their current projects. I've always said QBN is my cubicle farm
