This is extremely work in progress and part of a HUGE undertaking, but I wanted to share some "proof of life" for getting Game Informer magazine's original screenshot captures from way back in 1993 recovered off of digital backup tapes. If they had any lost builds, we might be able to recover images

I’m helping a PBS series look for a social media manager/content creator for an upcoming promotional campaign. The start date is ASAP, and a project timeline that currently goes to July.
This is for a series on American Muslim history, so candidates with cultural familiarity preferred!

All those people demanding Trump be put in prison don't seem to grasp that he was heading there until November 2024. He was convicted, and about to be sentenced when these same people refused to vote for Harris. And then he became President, and everything just went away. Consequences.

On BlueSky, I see people who want Americans to believe that because Biden, Obama, and others did not end racism in America, they are no different than Trump, who actively encourages racist rhetoric and racist policies.
Don't fall for their lies. There is a difference, and it is worth fighting for.

Having served in multiple countries run by ruthless dictators, I am accustomed to their tactics for keeping their populations under control. One of them is to employ a legion of fake opposition figures who promote the false narrative that "all parties are the same, so why bother voting?"

The CDC has identified nearly 600 cases of measles in the U.S. in January alone — a number that would have seemed unimaginable just a few years ago, as the virus has been considered eradicated in the U.S. for more than two decades.

If infections continue at their current pace, the US could see triple the number of measles cases seen last year.

Sorry for all the negativity lately. It's not just the state of the world. It's also some really stressful work related stuff I can't discuss, so everything has been getting to me even more.
Thankfully I figured out the two big work related things that were stressing me out. That helps a lot.

For my animation friends: Here's a thoughtful list of Adobe Animate alternative program pros & cons from an experienced show TD who knows her shit (I have worked with her and can attest to her expansive knowledge, capability and insight).
With Adobe being very unreliable in the present circumstances with Animate I have been seeing a particular list going around of "Adobe Alternatives". I don't think this list is written by Animation Industry savvy folks so I'd like to present my thoughts on alternatives with each plus and minus

There are more polling places (>100k) than ICE and CBP agents combined, so they can only pick a few districts to try to intimidate.
Now what happens when cell phone footage of that goes online in the early morning?
