I say his gently, but…
There’s something unspeakably shameful The United States letting people go hungry.
Not because its government doesn’t fix it —
but because tomorrow a few private Americans could, and never notice the cost.
That’s the part that sits wrong.

The year is 2035. There are three game studios left. Each one produces a game every 10 years, killing 250+ developers in the process. They all accidentally make the same game because they used genAI in preproduction. They sell 500 million units each, missing quarterly targets. Everyone is laid off.

So there are these two French movies, the first one is called jean de florette, the second manon du source, if I lived in France, maybe people would know about them but I watched them in French 3 and 4 as our big project in high school
Name your fav film that nobody else knows about

Tip: Request 3 pictures from 3 different angles and all of them have to have a visible paper with specific text on it. If any of the damage changes even a LITTLE refuse the refund.
Heads up for all my art friends that have an online store.

Well to anyone coming from Twitter, my main advice would be: "Make a friend, be a friend."
Comment on other people's posts and try to make peer connections. Not just fan/customer/patron connections.

Like @prisonculture.bsky.social, I've been worried about the ways popular myths of the civil rights movement make it hard to see how to struggle today.

I do feel absolutely insane about how many eulogy posts for Björn Andrésen /exclusively/ use pictures of him as an underage boy, the very image that cast a shadow over the rest of his life.
Björn Andrésen was a 70 year old man, not an ethereal boy stuck in eternal youth. He was real.
