The Steam Machine looks like it could be a good coding and web development device as well as for games. I hope the cost is reasonable.

After the Rubygems drama, I felt frustrated that I can’t escape evil people trying to dominate my life.
I found myself mourning the future I thought we would have; but also hopeful that it’s not too late to start choosing kindness.

GOOD NEWS! Researchers have developed a cancer vaccine that has shown STUNNING results, PREVENTING up to 88% of MULTIPLE aggressive cancers by harnessing dual-pathway nanoparticles that train the immune system to recognize and destroy tumor cells. In some cases, it COMPLETELY prevented metastasis.

RIP Tchéky Karyo, a prolific French actor (From the Earth to the Moon, La Femme Nikita, Crying Freeman, Bad Boys, GoldenEye, The Patriot...) who went into space with the best (and only) Wing Commander movie.
It was always nice to see him. I will miss him. He was 72.

What do you even say about a giant like Drew Struzan except study him. Go make some marks, some actual marks, with pencils and paints and an airbrush if you’ve got one hanging around. Everything you could ever need to learn about this craft is in his work.

RIP Drew Struzan - a man whose talent and imagination etched onto so many minds throughout the last 40+ years.
His art & posters are some of the first visuals I think of when I think about cinema - an invitation to watch these stories and worlds.
A massive loss 💔

So that's Deutsche Bank, The Bank of England and the IMF warning about the AI bubble bursting now. Oh and JP Morgan's boss and the Federal Reserve Chair
“Concerns over an AI bubble bursting have grown lately, with analysts recently finding that it’s 17 times the size of the dotcom-era bubble and four times bigger than the 2008 financial crisis.”
Hang onto your butts. This “correction” is gonna hurt.

I thought I would do a thread to reply to the below pal because there is a lot to consider about being autistic and feeling comfortable with people. It’s something I have thought a lot about recently 💘🧵
Tell me more. I'm curious what it's like. Do you mean like you feel like you can't be weird around people?

Today is a day when arts degrees are worthless, but the product of those degrees is so valuable it would kill an entire industry if they were made to pay for it.

I had no idea that the phrase “Back to the old drawing board” comes from this Peter Arno cartoon from March 1st 1941’s New Yorker. It’s rather splendid to be able to date the birth of what would become part of everyday speech with such precision.

The lesson of history is that tyrants cannot be appeased.
Appeasement only feeds their insatiable hunger for power.
Tyrants prey on people who feel unsafe and vulnerable.
But without mass submission, a tyrant is powerless.
