If you get a baby, learn the Dunstan Baby Language, which is a science-based approach that helps you understand what your baby needs much more quickly. I am flabbergasted that this is not the first advice you get from midwives, doctors, or friends. It is not as well-known as it should be. [1/2]

Consider deleting the contents of your phone temporarily when crossing into the US. There have been a few cases where people have been detained over nothing and put in solitary confinement for 10 days.

Delusions run deep. I've encountered this issue countless times, across all gender dynamics. Perhaps parents struggle to accept that their children may sometimes know more, or perhaps close relationships are clouded by outdated perceptions that hinder an exchange...?

Wow, Adolescence on Netflix really got to me. Not only is each episode one continuous shot, but it also has an authentic story where the decisions of the characters make sense and feel real. Also fantastic acting.

Auschwitz was liberated 80 years ago. My great-grandfather was tortured there for resisting the Nazis in Poland. He survived and wrote this book about it. Growing up, I never imagined that by 2025, ignorance, fear, and greed would bring the far-right back to power worldwide and fuel new genocides

this but art. Drawing is a tool for thinking deeply about a subject and its context. Even if my actual drawing never sees the light of day, I still draw because it focuses my thoughts and helps them take the next steps.
this but code, writing code is thinking about code.
No, I don't need a bloody copilot for this document, thank you.
Writing is, in no small part, a tool for thinking. If you outsource that element to a machine that cannot think, you shouldn't be surprised if, at the end of the process, neither you nor your reader are any the wiser.

In the late '90s, the very first and only social media platform for concept artists was the Sijun forums, created by @dhabih.com, who worked at Valve. One day, the forum was suddenly offline. Turned out his PC got stolen that ran the forums from his home and all the art/conversations were lost [1/3]

I cried so quickly watching this. Ibelin was born with a fatal disease and spent a lot of time playing WoW. His parents worried all his life that he would never experience friendship. However, after his death, they got his password and discovered they were quite wrong www.youtube.com/watch?v=lM_h...
