I'm working on a project for a new, local, independent appliance repair service, and they need a logo and header image for the web site. Looking for links to artist portfolios. (please boost for reach)

The billionaire media is laying off great tech journalists in crazy quantities this year - replacing them with AI and sycophants. This would be a great time to throw some dollars, euros, pounds, or dollarydoos to @flipboard.com/@404media, @ProPublica or another independent outlet.

The privately funded ballroom will be approximately 90,000 square feet, much larger than the White House itself.

Periodic reminder to anyone who builds applications:
People's names and email addresses can change over time. And not just women's last names. Build a fucking workflow that won't break everything when they do change names.
