<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I finally got around to importing my whole historical Twitter archive (just my own original tweets, not replies or retweets) into this WordPress site as a proper Custom Post Type:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://chriscoyier.net/tweets">https://chriscoyier.net/tweets</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I haven&#8217;t added it to the navigation or anything else on the site yet. Not sure what I want to do there. Just feels good having my own data. The Tweets show up in the Jetpack-powered search too, which I&#8217;ve found nice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used <a href="https://github.com/shawnhooper/twitter-archive-to-wp">this</a> and hacked it up a bit to fit my needs, and so I didn&#8217;t have to leave it as a permanently installed plugin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s coming at a weird time, with quite a few people &#8220;going back&#8221; to Twitter. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s actually called X now; I&#8217;m aware. It&#8217;s named after the hand gesture you do when Elon Musk asks if you&#8217;d like to come over for a dinner party: 🙅‍♂️</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Casey Newton just saying, &#8220;Look, I tried, but X is where the action is,&#8221; and John Gruber being like, &#8220;Take a whiff; the Elon stench is gone.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I understand both of those things. I honestly really like both Mastodon and Bluesky, but after years and years, the fun and engagement have never reached old Twitter norms. And I miss that! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it also feels like you have to ignore <em>a lot</em> of bad behavior to use a platform that Elon Musk not only owns but literally bought to be his megaphone and power center. Do people not remember the horrible shit he would do on a near-daily basis? Tasteless, dangerous, and often both. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I can remind you! Here&#8217;s just one straw from a haystack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elon loves him some Trump. They are big buddies! Elon shouldered up to Trump for the power, and Trump gave it to him. Elon decided to take this power (granted to him by a scepter touch? apparently?) and created a real government organization called DOGE, which is a joke name, named after a joke cryptocurrency that is inherently corrupt. DOGE&#8217;s job was to make the government &#8220;more efficient&#8221; by eliminating funding for tons of stuff. One of the things they did was entirely get rid of the USDS, which was the organization that did incredible work, ya know, making governmental websites <em>far more efficient.</em> Now, our government makes <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/rio-run/">racist video games</a> on the web instead. Not kidding. That&#8217;s a fucking game on our own government&#8217;s website, where you play a white dude who walks around a page collecting brown people to deport. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I find it more than a little hard to swallow.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s a clock. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I bought it once because I needed&#8230; a clock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s $29, which is totally reasonable for&#8230; a clock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then it was Daylight Saving Time one day, and I went to update it, but&#8230; it was already updated. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s because: </p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow">
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Atomic Time Feature conveniently allows the clock to sync with the WWVB radio transmission from Fort Collins, CO, for accurate time updates.</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s amazing? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It listens to a radio signal and adjusts itself to the correct time, even during major time changes. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What a kick-ass UX, while seemingly being no more expensive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also: you can just put one battery in it to work, or you can put 2 batteries in it, and it&#8217;ll work longer, or 3 batteries, and it&#8217;ll last over 5 years. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What the what. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now it just needs to dust itself, and it&#8217;ll be the greatest home device ever.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I remember working in digital prepress <em>decades ago</em> that <code>.eps</code> files were just kinda weird, and I didn&#8217;t love it when I had to deal with them. Like, <em>what even made this?</em> Why? I assumed it was some kind of antiquated software or practice, and I&#8217;d just deal with it, and eventually the world would improve. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But here we are in 2026, and EPS is still here. How I come across EPS files is that it&#8217;s the download format from stock art sites that deliver vector artwork. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It actually <em>sorta</em> makes sense:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Stock art sites can&#8217;t deliver vectors as like <code>.ai</code> (The Adobe Illustrator format, now a funny and unfortunate file extension) because it&#8217;s too vendor-specific. Not everyone uses Adobe software, and that format changes on a whim. </li>



<li>Stock art can&#8217;t deliver in <code>.svg</code>, even though it&#8217;s a great open format, because it&#8217;s too web-specific. Graphic designers use vector art too, and SVG isn&#8217;t designed for the CMYK world of print. </li>



<li>Stock art sites can&#8217;t deliver in <code>.pdf</code> because it&#8217;s just too weird. It doesn&#8217;t scream &#8220;editable source art&#8221; like it needs to.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But EPS is still weird! It&#8217;s a &#8220;frozen&#8221; format in that it hasn&#8217;t been touched in decades. That&#8217;s kinda good, but it feels like if Adobe really wanted to entirely move on from supporting it at all, they could. Plus, you get no preview for EPS files whatsoever. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That makes EPS files feel like a pretty low-class citizen on macOS. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OK, so EPS is a non-proprietary format that more-than-Adobe software can deal with, fine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can Figma open them?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Nope. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can Sketch open them? <a href="https://www.sketch.com/support/troubleshooting/mac-app/import-eps-files/">Nope</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So by avoiding too much Adobe lock-in using EPS format, that locks me into needing to keep Adobe Illustrator around so I have something that can open an EPS file and get it converted into something useful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel like just going full SVG would be the way to go, and I imagine print designers could figure it out. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not much screen time for me lately, so this is a few months&#8217; worth. But I have enjoyed some things!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt40822983/">My Brother the Minotaur</a>: Really well-done kids&#8217; adventure show, begging for a second season.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18259538/">Avatar Aang</a>: Thick with fan service, and that&#8217;s exactly what I wanted from the ol&#8217; gang, all grown up and still at it. I hope they keep making stuff in this universe.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31491435/">Tires</a>: Season 3 was full of heart, somehow. Caring about Shane Gillis&#8217; love life wasn&#8217;t on my bingo card this year, but I was into it.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14688458/">Silo</a>: Likewise, Season 3 was the best yet. Nice to have a feeling of where it&#8217;s going. </li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33296751/">Tuner</a>: Somehow they got Dustin Hoffman to be a Zac Bryan lookalike&#8217;s dad in this absolutely perfectly formulaic crime/love romp.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35522483/">Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie</a>: So fun. What a unique style of comedy. Led me to some <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/chriscoyier.net/post/3mx3vakh4hs27">weird math</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have all these shows that I really wanna finish, but just can&#8217;t get the gumption to do it. Lanterns didn&#8217;t hit for me. I&#8217;m only slogging through Hacks season 2. I would love to finish For All Mankind, but I just can never get momentum. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think it means nearsightedness. I&#8217;m mostly fine with close-up objects (like my phone/computer), but things 10+ feet away are blurry. The glasses help! Nice for driving and being inside large buildings.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As my vision got worse, I honestly thought I just had watery eyes a lot, and that caused the blur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I got prescription sunglasses, too. I got a buy-two discount from Warby Parker, where I went in person to pick out glasses, plus my insurance covered part of it. It was a fairly nice experience, and the glasses arrived relatively quickly. I already want to buy an alternate pair just for styling options.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m trying to ride the big change to my face with an attitude change too, leaning into the &#8220;personality-free dad in the school drop-off line&#8221; I was born to be. OK, I&#8217;m off to make banal comments about newspaper headlines over white toast.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kelsey&#8217;s journey with healthcare insurance has been pretty rough. She gets denied for medications and treatments all the time, which to me is pure criminal behavior akin to attempted murder. Any politician doing anything other than forcing healthcare insurance companies to actually help the people they cover (ya know: Americans) can piss up a rope. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">She&#8217;s sharing her cancer journey herself in a multi-part series on social media sites. Like:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve still got all my WordPress sites on <a href="https://pressable.com/">Pressable</a> and happily so; I think they do a good job! They do everything you&#8217;d expect a WordPress host to do. The things I specifically like are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Customer support is good/fast, including free movement of sites</li>



<li>Deploying from a GitHub repo is a first-class citizen</li>



<li>Perfectly good DNS management</li>



<li>No need for extra security, performance, or update plugins</li>



<li>Things are generally with-the-grain of the WordPress ecosystem</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On that last point, I appreciated this little one-clicker:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">With that on (and presumably because I also use Jetpack and thus WordPress.com?), I can auth an agent like Claude Code that supports MCPs and get it connected. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think I&#8217;m more likely to use this for very rote tasks like making sure my headers are Title Case, and things are formatted like I want them to be, matching a style guide. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think it pairs nicely with having a &#8220;SKILL.md&#8221; file for it, which can be home-base for a style guide like that. The skill could have stuff in it like &#8220;only ever touch draft blog posts&#8221;, &#8220;make sure blocks of code are labelled for what type of code they are&#8221;, &#8220;make sure images are self-hosted&#8221;, &#8220;make sure anything I&#8217;m linking to looks correct and the link is valid&#8221;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I friggin&#8217; hate AI slop writing, so please know I have no interest in automating anything around that. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But as someone who has authored and edited one billion blog posts, some intelligent automation of certain rote tasks is appealing.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I suspect the strength of the plastic involved would require basically&#8230; more plastic. Which I don&#8217;t super love for a world that makes too much throw-away plastic. Not to mention the fact that these are labels you apply to your own water bottles, not that just come like this, is strange, but I imagine it&#8217;s just a concept they hope to sell. I just think the idea is really clever.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I finally got around to importing my whole historical Twitter archive (just my own original tweets, not replies or retweets) into this WordPress site as a proper Custom Post Type:</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph"><a href="https://chriscoyier.net/tweets">https://chriscoyier.net/tweets</a></p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I haven&#8217;t added it to the navigation or anything else on the site yet. Not sure what I want to do there. Just feels good having my own data. The Tweets show up in the Jetpack-powered search too, which I&#8217;ve found nice.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I used <a href="https://github.com/shawnhooper/twitter-archive-to-wp">this</a> and hacked it up a bit to fit my needs, and so I didn&#8217;t have to leave it as a permanently installed plugin.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s coming at a weird time, with quite a few people &#8220;going back&#8221; to Twitter. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s actually called X now; I&#8217;m aware. It&#8217;s named after the hand gesture you do when Elon Musk asks if you&#8217;d like to come over for a dinner party: 🙅‍♂️</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Casey Newton just saying, &#8220;Look, I tried, but X is where the action is,&#8221; and John Gruber being like, &#8220;Take a whiff; the Elon stench is gone.&#8221;</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I understand both of those things. I honestly really like both Mastodon and Bluesky, but after years and years, the fun and engagement have never reached old Twitter norms. And I miss that! </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But it also feels like you have to ignore <em>a lot</em> of bad behavior to use a platform that Elon Musk not only owns but literally bought to be his megaphone and power center. Do people not remember the horrible shit he would do on a near-daily basis? Tasteless, dangerous, and often both. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I can remind you! Here&#8217;s just one straw from a haystack.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Elon loves him some Trump. They are big buddies! Elon shouldered up to Trump for the power, and Trump gave it to him. Elon decided to take this power (granted to him by a scepter touch? apparently?) and created a real government organization called DOGE, which is a joke name, named after a joke cryptocurrency that is inherently corrupt. DOGE&#8217;s job was to make the government &#8220;more efficient&#8221; by eliminating funding for tons of stuff. One of the things they did was entirely get rid of the USDS, which was the organization that did incredible work, ya know, making governmental websites <em>far more efficient.</em> Now, our government makes <a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/rio-run/">racist video games</a> on the web instead. Not kidding. That&#8217;s a fucking game on our own government&#8217;s website, where you play a white dude who walks around a page collecting brown people to deport. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I find it more than a little hard to swallow.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s a clock. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I bought it once because I needed&#8230; a clock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It&#8217;s $29, which is totally reasonable for&#8230; a clock.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Then it was Daylight Saving Time one day, and I went to update it, but&#8230; it was already updated. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s because: </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">The Atomic Time Feature conveniently allows the clock to sync with the WWVB radio transmission from Fort Collins, CO, for accurate time updates.</p>
</blockquote>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That&#8217;s amazing? </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It listens to a radio signal and adjusts itself to the correct time, even during major time changes. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What a kick-ass UX, while seemingly being no more expensive. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Also: you can just put one battery in it to work, or you can put 2 batteries in it, and it&#8217;ll work longer, or 3 batteries, and it&#8217;ll last over 5 years. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">What the what. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now it just needs to dust itself, and it&#8217;ll be the greatest home device ever.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I remember working in digital prepress <em>decades ago</em> that <code>.eps</code> files were just kinda weird, and I didn&#8217;t love it when I had to deal with them. Like, <em>what even made this?</em> Why? I assumed it was some kind of antiquated software or practice, and I&#8217;d just deal with it, and eventually the world would improve. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But here we are in 2026, and EPS is still here. How I come across EPS files is that it&#8217;s the download format from stock art sites that deliver vector artwork. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">It actually <em>sorta</em> makes sense:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Stock art sites can&#8217;t deliver vectors as like <code>.ai</code> (The Adobe Illustrator format, now a funny and unfortunate file extension) because it&#8217;s too vendor-specific. Not everyone uses Adobe software, and that format changes on a whim. </li>



<li>Stock art can&#8217;t deliver in <code>.svg</code>, even though it&#8217;s a great open format, because it&#8217;s too web-specific. Graphic designers use vector art too, and SVG isn&#8217;t designed for the CMYK world of print. </li>



<li>Stock art sites can&#8217;t deliver in <code>.pdf</code> because it&#8217;s just too weird. It doesn&#8217;t scream &#8220;editable source art&#8221; like it needs to.</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But EPS is still weird! It&#8217;s a &#8220;frozen&#8221; format in that it hasn&#8217;t been touched in decades. That&#8217;s kinda good, but it feels like if Adobe really wanted to entirely move on from supporting it at all, they could. Plus, you get no preview for EPS files whatsoever. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">That makes EPS files feel like a pretty low-class citizen on macOS. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">OK, so EPS is a non-proprietary format that more-than-Adobe software can deal with, fine. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can Figma open them?</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph"> Nope. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Can Sketch open them? <a href="https://www.sketch.com/support/troubleshooting/mac-app/import-eps-files/">Nope</a>. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">So by avoiding too much Adobe lock-in using EPS format, that locks me into needing to keep Adobe Illustrator around so I have something that can open an EPS file and get it converted into something useful.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I feel like just going full SVG would be the way to go, and I imagine print designers could figure it out. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Not much screen time for me lately, so this is a few months&#8217; worth. But I have enjoyed some things!</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt40822983/">My Brother the Minotaur</a>: Really well-done kids&#8217; adventure show, begging for a second season.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt18259538/">Avatar Aang</a>: Thick with fan service, and that&#8217;s exactly what I wanted from the ol&#8217; gang, all grown up and still at it. I hope they keep making stuff in this universe.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt31491435/">Tires</a>: Season 3 was full of heart, somehow. Caring about Shane Gillis&#8217; love life wasn&#8217;t on my bingo card this year, but I was into it.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt14688458/">Silo</a>: Likewise, Season 3 was the best yet. Nice to have a feeling of where it&#8217;s going. </li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt33296751/">Tuner</a>: Somehow they got Dustin Hoffman to be a Zac Bryan lookalike&#8217;s dad in this absolutely perfectly formulaic crime/love romp.</li>



<li><a href="https://www.imdb.com/title/tt35522483/">Nirvanna the Band the Show the Movie</a>: So fun. What a unique style of comedy. Led me to some <a href="https://bsky.app/profile/chriscoyier.net/post/3mx3vakh4hs27">weird math</a>.</li>
</ul>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I have all these shows that I really wanna finish, but just can&#8217;t get the gumption to do it. Lanterns didn&#8217;t hit for me. I&#8217;m only slogging through Hacks season 2. I would love to finish For All Mankind, but I just can never get momentum. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">As my vision got worse, I honestly thought I just had watery eyes a lot, and that caused the blur.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I got prescription sunglasses, too. I got a buy-two discount from Warby Parker, where I went in person to pick out glasses, plus my insurance covered part of it. It was a fairly nice experience, and the glasses arrived relatively quickly. I already want to buy an alternate pair just for styling options.</p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;m trying to ride the big change to my face with an attitude change too, leaning into the &#8220;personality-free dad in the school drop-off line&#8221; I was born to be. OK, I&#8217;m off to make banal comments about newspaper headlines over white toast.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Kelsey&#8217;s journey with healthcare insurance has been pretty rough. She gets denied for medications and treatments all the time, which to me is pure criminal behavior akin to attempted murder.

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I&#8217;ve still got all my WordPress sites on <a href="https://pressable.com/">Pressable</a> and happily so; I think they do a good job! They do everything you&#8217;d expect a WordPress host to do. The things I specifically like are:</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Customer support is good/fast, including free movement of sites</li>



<li>Deploying from a GitHub repo is a first-class citizen</li>



<li>Perfectly good DNS management</li>



<li>No need for extra security, performance, or update plugins</li>



<li>Things are generally with-the-grain of the WordPress ecosystem</li>
</ul>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">On that last point, I appreciated this little one-clicker:</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">Now I can, for instance, tell my agent to go make a draft blog post quick about something I&#8217;m thinking about, so I won&#8217;t forget about it. </p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think I&#8217;m more likely to use this for very rote tasks like making sure my headers are Title Case, and things are formatted like I want them to be, matching a style guide. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I think it pairs nicely with having a &#8220;SKILL.md&#8221; file for it, which can be home-base for a style guide like that. The skill could have stuff in it like &#8220;only ever touch draft blog posts&#8221;, &#8220;make sure blocks of code are labelled for what type of code they are&#8221;, &#8220;make sure images are self-hosted&#8221;, &#8220;make sure anything I&#8217;m linking to looks correct and the link is valid&#8221;. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I friggin&#8217; hate AI slop writing, so please know I have no interest in automating anything around that. </p>



<p class="wp-block-paragraph">But as someone who has authored and edited one billion blog posts, some intelligent automation of certain rote tasks is appealing.</p>

<p class="wp-block-paragraph">I suspect the strength of the plastic involved would require basically&#8230; more plastic. Which I don&#8217;t super love for a world that makes too much throw-away plastic. Not to mention the fact that these are labels you apply to your own water bottles, not that just come like this, is strange, but I imagine it&#8217;s just a concept they hope to sell. I just think the idea is really clever.</p>

Not sure what I want to do there. Just feels good having my own data. The Tweets show up in the Jetpack-powered search too, which I’ve found nice.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I used <a href=\"https://github.com/shawnhooper/twitter-archive-to-wp\">this</a> and hacked it up a bit to fit my needs, and so I didn’t have to leave it as a permanently installed plugin.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s coming at a weird time, with quite a few people “going back” to Twitter. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It’s actually called X now; I’m aware. It’s named after the hand gesture you do when Elon Musk asks if you’d like to come over for a dinner party: 🙅‍♂️</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Casey Newton just saying, “Look, I tried, but X is where the action is,” and John Gruber being like, “Take a whiff; the Elon stench is gone.”</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I understand both of those things. I honestly really like both Mastodon and Bluesky, but after years and years, the fun and engagement have never reached old Twitter norms. And I miss that! </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But it also feels like you have to ignore <em>a lot</em> of bad behavior to use a platform that Elon Musk not only owns but literally bought to be his megaphone and power center. Do people not remember the horrible shit he would do on a near-daily basis? Tasteless, dangerous, and often both. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I can remind you! Here’s just one straw from a haystack.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Elon loves him some Trump. They are big buddies! Elon shouldered up to Trump for the power, and Trump gave it to him. Elon decided to take this power (granted to him by a scepter touch? apparently?) and created a real government organization called DOGE, which is a joke name, named after a joke cryptocurrency that is inherently corrupt. DOGE’s job was to make the government “more efficient” by eliminating funding for tons of stuff. One of the things they did was entirely get rid of the USDS, which was the organization that did incredible work, ya know, making governmental websites <em>far more efficient.</em> Now, our government makes <a href=\"https://www.whitehouse.gov/arcade/rio-run/\">racist video games</a> on the web instead. Not kidding. That’s a fucking game on our own government’s website, where you play a white dude who walks around a page collecting brown people to deport. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I find it more than a little hard to swallow.</p>",

      "content": "<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I remember working in digital prepress <em>decades ago</em> that <code>.eps</code> files were just kinda weird, and I didn’t love it when I had to deal with them. Like, <em>what even made this?</em> Why? I assumed it was some kind of antiquated software or practice, and I’d just deal with it, and eventually the world would improve. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But here we are in 2026, and EPS is still here. How I come across EPS files is that it’s the download format from stock art sites that deliver vector artwork. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It actually <em>sorta</em> makes sense:</p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Stock art sites can’t deliver vectors as like <code>.ai</code> (The Adobe Illustrator format, now a funny and unfortunate file extension) because it’s too vendor-specific. Not everyone uses Adobe software, and that format changes on a whim. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock art can’t deliver in <code>.svg</code>, even though it’s a great open format, because it’s too web-specific. Graphic designers use vector art too, and SVG isn’t designed for the CMYK world of print. </li>\n\n\n\n<li>Stock art sites can’t deliver in <code>.pdf</code> because it’s just too weird. It doesn’t scream “editable source art” like it needs to.</li>\n</ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But EPS is still weird! It’s a “frozen” format in that it hasn’t been touched in decades. That’s kinda good, but it feels like if Adobe really wanted to entirely move on from supporting it at all, they could. Plus, you get no preview for EPS files whatsoever. </p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"867\" data-attachment-id=\"29824\" data-permalink=\"https://chriscoyier.net/2026/10/12/eps/screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8-51-30-am/\" data-orig-file=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?fit=1342%2C1136&quality=80&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1342,1136\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2026-10-12 at 8.51.30 AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?fit=1024%2C867&quality=80&ssl=1\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?resize=1024%2C867&quality=80&ssl=1\" alt=\"A file preview window displaying an EPS file icon, including the filename 'shutterstock_2253535573.eps', file size of 381 KB, and last modified date stamp.\" class=\"wp-image-29824\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?resize=1024%2C867&quality=80&ssl=1 1024w, https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?resize=300%2C254&quality=80&ssl=1 300w, https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?resize=768%2C650&quality=80&ssl=1 768w, https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.51.30-AM.png?w=1342&quality=80&ssl=1 1342w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That makes EPS files feel like a pretty low-class citizen on macOS. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">OK, so EPS is a non-proprietary format that more-than-Adobe software can deal with, fine. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Figma open them?</p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"736\" height=\"450\" data-attachment-id=\"29825\" data-permalink=\"https://chriscoyier.net/2026/10/12/eps/screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8-55-02-am/\" data-orig-file=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.55.02-AM.png?fit=736%2C450&quality=80&ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"736,450\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Screenshot 2026-10-12 at 8.55.02 AM\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.55.02-AM.png?fit=736%2C450&quality=80&ssl=1\" src=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.55.02-AM.png?resize=736%2C450&quality=80&ssl=1\" alt=\"Error message indicating a file import failure due to unrecognized format or conversion failure for 'shutterstock_2255355573.eps'.\" class=\"wp-image-29825\" srcset=\"https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.55.02-AM.png?w=736&quality=80&ssl=1 736w, https://i0.wp.com/chriscoyier.net/wp-content/uploads/2026/10/Screenshot-2026-10-12-at-8.55.02-AM.png?resize=300%2C183&quality=80&ssl=1 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 736px) 100vw, 736px\" /></figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> Nope. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Can Sketch open them? <a href=\"https://www.sketch.com/support/troubleshooting/mac-app/import-eps-files/\">Nope</a>. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So by avoiding too much Adobe lock-in using EPS format, that locks me into needing to keep Adobe Illustrator around so I have something that can open an EPS file and get it converted into something useful.</p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I feel like just going full SVG would be the way to go, and I imagine print designers could figure it out. </p>",

matching a style guide. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I think it pairs nicely with having a “SKILL.md” file for it, which can be home-base for a style guide like that. The skill could have stuff in it like “only ever touch draft blog posts”, “make sure blocks of code are labelled for what type of code they are”, “make sure images are self-hosted”, “make sure anything I’m linking to looks correct and the link is valid”. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I friggin’ hate AI slop writing, so please know I have no interest in automating anything around that. </p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But as someone who has authored and edited one billion blog posts, some intelligent automation of certain rote tasks is appealing.</p>",

Which I don’t super love for a world that makes too much throw-away plastic. Not to mention the fact that these are labels you apply to your own water bottles, not that just come like this, is strange, but I imagine it’s just a concept they hope to sell. I just think the idea is really clever.</p>",
