16 hours left, please share ⚠️ Many folks say “it’s the least I can do” when it’s exactly what we’re asked to do—giving directly to Palestinians to survive, or sharing to reach those who can give.

Keep Hope Alive: a Gaza Giving Circle

We are a team of volunteers in the US and UK, led by two sisters passionate about helping our friends on the ground keep their families and neighbors alive with food, water, & shelter. We saw that…

Here is Jamal from Gaza whose family lost everything and he is trying with all his might to rebuild their lives and help them with the crazy costs in Gaza and travel outside Gaza when the crossings open. I hope you support us. Your little support, even if it is $5

A few years ago I made a small point-and-click adventure game for Nerd Monkeys and Felicia Day ( Voyage to The Stars) . I handled code, animation, music and game design.

this is some of the animations

for sure but also I don't think someone cursing is necessarily the cause of toxic workplaces, sometimes person cursing (like me!) could be the consequence of toxic workplaces (obviously i was never a boss of anyone god forbid, but also i will curse you off regardless if its a workplace or not lol)

then the backlash and conversation should be about her service. i literally haven't even heard about her on socials for months now until this controversy

also funny in context of Western politics, you can suck at your job but god forbid you curse at someone

listening to a work from classical music canon while cleaning your kitchen or working will never give you the "hit" you will have while watching a great orchestra play a piece live, in the same room with you, causing your body to resonate, the hair cells in your ear to vibrate.

Berrak @berrak.bsky.social · 3h

I strongly believe one of the main reasons classical works of art are not appreciated more widely (even if people pretend that they do without being actually affected by them) is the way we consume them

Reading plays will never replace watching them(even better,in person)

Same with classical music

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

You know how there’s been this big push towards encouraging older people to do puzzles, cognitive games, and to learn new things to keep them from succumbing to dementia?

Wonder where that’s gonna go with the rise of “outsource your cognitive functions to AI, it’ll be convenient” culture

SteveIsDamaged @steveisdamages.bsky.social · 10h

Cognition is like strength. Use is required to not just gain, but maintain. The more thinking and cognitive work we offload, the duller we become as a result.

It's like deciding you'll use a mobility scooter without need and then figuring out a year later that you can no longer walk.
