Just saw a tiktok where a guy pronounces Andy Muschietti’s name so weird that it sounded like Eddie Machete. Which would be a great 🌶️ name.

I like how Cloudflare named one of their services Cloudflare Access so they can legally put ‘Cloudflare Access has been restored’ on their status page while sites using them are still down worldwide

This quote from Jason Zada, the founder and Chief Creative Officer of Secret Level - the company behind the ad - is shocking and quite chilling, actually.
Effectively, you’re just another hater on the internet if you disagree. Worried for your career? Stop complaining and submit.

I find the hard vs soft magic system discussions boring. I choose a magic system that fits the current story and worldbuilding I'm working on, there's no more to it than that.

What is Trump even trying to say here?
