as always, people who have actually discovered an incredible productivity hack will simply use that productivity hack themselves, not sell their techniques to the masses in one-off classes
Oh she’s a scam artist, got it! Every single time you hear about a person offering coaching in one of these pieces they’re just a scammer and the media falls for it

Queen bee Annalyn Park has the school in her thrall, so why does this social butterfly stick to her dour roommate Maxine?

I'm glad I came across this kickstarter while it was still funding! The artists in the book all chose to publish anonymously so they can't spread the word- please take a look. Thank you @comicsworkshop.bsky.social for supporting this :)

"Reporter: Do any of you have a favorite animal?

Child: My favorite one is a gold snake that can move. It has gold eyes, and it has a super-duper tail…

Reporter: Mr. Mamdani, the second question for you.

Mamdani: Yes. It’s also the golden snake."

driverless cars pollute the environment, take attention & funding away from public transit, and enable misanthropy (people who use waymo don't want to risk interaction with an immigrant) I recently went on a date with a guy who worked for a startup that was reinventing *checks notes* the bus

I was talking with @wendyxu.bsky.social about the 1981 animated short "The Nine-Colored Deer," a loose retelling of the Deer King Jataka inspired by paintings in sixth-century caves at Dunhuang. It's a delight and everyone should have a look. The source material comes mainly from three caves:
The Nine-Colored Deer (1981 Shanghai Fine Arts Film Studio) with English Subtitles

Red Ogre (@ogre.red) gets rights to your work upon *submission*.

And those rights are ridiculous. They can change your work, not credit you, use your work for advertising, or put it in an anthology.

Don't submit to this one, folks.

I just got this notification from this trial Meta is conducting. For art to be seen, fees are required. No more likes because your work is interesting to ppl, it is all just paid access to huge audiences. And these are just starting fees, they go up after a month. 👎😬😭
