Feel like retreating to your own island away from the chaos and heartbreak of these days?
I have the game for you: Eilands.
It’s along the lines of Tiny Glade and Townscaper, but the focus is on nature.
Still in early development. Stay in touch for more info!

You know, I had my theories like most of you, but… I gotta admit this was not something I could have imagined in a million years.
I regret to inform you that this is a real exchange in the Epstein emails that Congress released. Did Trump give Bill Clinton a blowjob? Or was it meant as a joke? 🤔

Do you have any advice or a suggestion to get better, to learn color theory?

New Jersey and Virginia have chosen well by electing
@mikiesherrill.bsky.social and @spanbergerforva.bsky.social as their next governors!
They are proven leaders who won by focusing on what matters most - how politics and policy can make everyday life better and more affordable.
