Using a Bitsy hack to make 16x16 sprites and I think they look great.

The worse Google gets, the more I find myself longing for a more primal internet experience: and the joy of clicking a link when you didn't know what awaited on the other side.
Google's obsession with killing off links betrays what made the internet great

There is a direct correlation between how fake your job is and how much value you see in AI
A study by Dayforce shows 87% of executives use AI for work, compared to 57% of managers and just 27% of employees.

Hooray! The only thing apparently worth saying about comedy - that it’s being gagged - is being said once again by someone who’s done absolutely fucking fine by being allowed to do whatever comedy he wanted in an extremely friendly environment that no longer exists, for purely economic reasons.
