Steam only letting you log in on one machine at a time when they have portable devices is one of the silliest decisions I've seen in years.
Breaks things too, cloud sync can get you incompatible saves if you hop around.

Just still stupid excited to say that my sister-in-law is the new head coach for the Seattle Storm WNBA team.
This means some of my favorite people are moving back to Seattle and also kick ass for my favorite city.

I can program in ~10 computer languages.
~30 year career in computers.
Been on bleeding edge software for 4 industries.
Done everything from QA to PM to dev to leadership.
Most dev job interviews will stump me to this day.
Broken system, not looking forward to finding a job soonish.

Media literacy is knowing that Who Framed Roger Rabbit is about the car industry killing public transportation in LA, and is why LA's subway system is so small.

To this day, after years of having to use Python randomly here and there, I still don't know why it's taught so much. It's not an easier language than others. It has a much more difficult ecosystem than most, it's obtuse, slow, and just kind of sucks.

There is a dedicated BlueSky feed for all your Discworld needs.
It's quite active and the pinned post/thread is a great intro for new users.

If you're looking for a new book series to pick up try Discworld.
~40 books.
Most have 3 layers to them: serious social commentary on today's issues (gun reform, gender equality, racism) and parody as a glue, tongue in cheek stuff, and the in-world narrative, the plot.
Start on equal rights - 3rd

Rapidly going through the ~40 Discworld novels and an early one has this line, "welcome to [city] we have more pronouns here."
Pratchett wasn't just prolific; he was very ahead of his time.
Keep in mind, we got gay marriage barely more than 10 years ago, this book was more than 30 years ago.

In the original X-Com UFO: Enemy Unknown game, towards the end of the campaign you can beat most hard missions with 1 shot.
This is what is missing in modern games, min max to the point of godhood.
