Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.
Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

Destroying a decade of some of my fondest memories is pretty cool.
At least I can save some extra money every March going forward.

when you ask for feedback and get feedback but what you really wanted was encouragement
Ai Weiwei was invited to contribute short reflections on “What I would have liked to know about Germany earlier" for an upcoming issue of Zeit Magazin. His submission was first shortened and edited, then immediately cancelled after a review by the Executive Editor. Ai shared his reflections anyway:

Is there a built in way to account for the notch/front camera section in @gamemaker.io when pushing to mobile?
I've found extensions/external add-ons but they're pretty old and I wanted to know if there was a modern way to do it that I can't seem to find in the manual/searches #gamemaker #gamedev

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.
This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.
It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

It feels good to know two of my favorite poets/songwriters as a child have been doing the work their whole lives and not fallen into traps.
@labisiffre.bsky.social and @saulwilliams.bsky.social I want to give y'all your flowers while you're here. Thank you for speaking up since before I was born.

NEARLY LOST MY SHIT yesterday because I thought I lost like 6 hours of work
I cloned my boot drive and it went smooth but forgot that I manually booted into the new drive... And didn't change the boot order
The deja vu I thought I was going through was insane 😂

I want more simplistic games made slower by people who are paid more to make them and I'm not joking. 🤷🏽♂️
Just had a great idea. How about a game where the solo developer doesn't nearly die creating it.

Still wild that Jonathan Blow is solemnly talking about perception of him and how depressed he was after Braid and then they overlay Soulja Boy saying "this shit ain't got no point, it's stupid as hell hahahahah" over a shot of Blow's somber silhouette 😂

We are the saviors we're waiting for.
I highly advise you to, if it's within your ability, get strapped and do what you can to both face the horrors AND protect yourself/others/your mental health.
I have hope for the children and the distant future, but the near future is bleak.
