having to convert patch notes / newsletters / announcements into bbcode, markdown, slack, the new wysiwyg steam editor, and / or email newsletter is I think a particular kind of hell, but bulleted lists are truly the nadir

Because labelers started as moderation tools, they show up as options when you report things lol. So every time I report a post I get asked if I want to send it to the “game dev labeler” as well as actual mods 😩

incredible things happening on the Getty Villa wikipedia page
Text that reads: “The Villa self-identifies with Malibu as it is located just east of the city limits of Malibu in the city of Los Angeles in the community of Pacific Palisades” the first part is highlighted

My dad moved out to LA in the 70s to work in the industry and has had a great, fulfilling career.

All my friends & loved ones in film & animation NOW are looking for work, rethinking longtime careers, unable to continue work. It is so heartbreaking to watch the bottom fall out in real time

The most important human story in the entertainment industry right now is the severe downturn in film and TV production in LA and how it's affecting middle-class crew workers. I spoke to dozens of them for this story about the depressed Hollywood economy. www.wsj.com/business/med...
L.A.’s Entertainment Economy Is Looking Like a Disaster Movie
Work is evaporating, businesses are closing, longtime residents are leaving, and Los Angeles’s creative middle class is hanging on by a thread.

there's a big problem with the culture here on bluesky, and it's that not nearly enough people are posting about the 10 year anniversary of Carly Rae Jepsen's groundbreaking and timeless album EMOTION being this year and how awesome that is

Very much enjoying catfishing.net which gives you categories of Wikipedia pages and you have to guess the article.

Today I did the best I’ve done, but honestly often a 4 is triumphant

I can’t even verbalize how much this erasing of history distresses me, but I WILL use the opportunity to say that in the 18th c, Phila. law said if slaves lived there for 6 continuous months, they would be freed. Washington *rotated his slaves back to Mount Vernon* so they would remain enslaved

“The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt.”
The latest orders include removing information at Harpers Ferry National Historic Park in West Virginia, two people familiar with the matter said, where the abolitionist John Brown led a raid seeking to arm slaves for a revolt. Staff have also been told that information at the President's House Site in Philadelphia, where George Washington kept slaves, does not comply with the policy, according to a third individual.
