Joyce Carol Oates is an American hero
![Joyce Carol Oates quoting a tweet that says “wherever he [Elon Musk] goes, he wants to leave”:
"wherever he goes, he wants to leave"-- that's because when he gets there, he has brought his own self along; & whatever club he's invited to join has been devalued by the invitation.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:buy3qvqcj3o76leo6ap7pn2p/bafkreifilfbsxemfsambf4kqwolr24ld2ekqcrz4ybgv3bv7kzi5e6kppm@jpeg)

a new genre of photo in the last year is federal agents working for ICE pointing guns directly at photographers

Would any game devs out there like to tell their story on @pastduepodcast.com? Any indie developer who fans would like to hear from?
Many freelancers in the United States rely on ACA marketplace plans for their health insurance. In an industry that has already been working overtime to turn gamedevs into gig workers, freelance and contract devs are about to get even more squeezed. This is unacceptable.

This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

a cool thing about living in the futuristic year of 2025 is that at least 25% of the electronics or production gear I acquire are defective right out of the box.

This was, frankly, fucking elucidating. Yedoye is out there living the feelings I keep having and felt alone in. It is remarkable for the soul to be told you can just fuckin... do shit. For ourselves, for our loved ones, for liberation. No one has to tell you how or why other than your empathy.
