I've been collecting pandemic era signs that nobody can be bothered to take down or remove. There's something grimly fascinating about this. Putting them up was urgent and important; removing them is nobody's job. How long will some of these hang around?

I agree 100% with one caveat.
With watercolor, good quality paper is important. You can buy cheap brushes. You can use cheap paint. But bad watercolor paper will make your painting look worse than you are capable of. Many people think they cannot watercolor paint when it is the paper’s fault.

A note to fledgling artists; don't think you need gadgets from the get-go. Equipment like pen displays are not required. They don't level up your art game any faster than cheap paper, pencils, pens or goddamn crayons. Leave the pricey gear until you're sure it'll pay itself off.

I remember people criticizing the Fallout games for having all these computer entries of people just detailing all the horrible, corrupt shit they were doing.
apparently the devs only crime was not making the entries detailed enough, and having correct spelling.

the temptation to try to describe hitler's reign as a failure of a single man and not a systemic, daily choice to do egregious harm that thousands of people made willingly-gleefully-is a fantasy that allows evil to continue on this planet today.
Exclusive: Adolf Hitler’s DNA has been sequenced by scientists
It has:
- shown he had a disorder which impacted his sexual development
- debunked rumours about his ancestry
- shown a high likelihood that he had a neurodivergent condition and/or bipolar disorder

I’ve seen a few folks go for the “if you simply must watch that new Harry Potter show just pirate it” and sorry. No. Just no. Just don’t watch it. At all. Ever. Break free of it. It’s time. You’ll be ok. I promise. I know it mattered to you as a kid. Find new things, it’s healthier. Just move on.

Shout out to everyone completely demoralized about the state of the world who still manages to get out of bed each morning.
And shout out to you, too if you’re still in bed. This shit is hard. Talk to your friends and neighbors. They’re going though it too, which is both terrifying and comforting.

I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.
