Char details: Solo, Gnome, standing, short, spunky, many pockets around his cloak.
Leave your portfolio links below and I’ll DM you additional details if I’m interested to proceed!

It's remarkable how low COVID deaths have fallen in the last year. The 2024 summer wave peaked at 1,358 deaths per week; the 2025 summer wave peaked at 466 deaths per week.

Fuck you people. Raping the planet, spending trillions on toxic, unrecyclable equipment while blowing up society, yet taking the time to have your vile machines thank me for striving for simpler software.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Wall Street regulator revokes accounting guidance on crypto assets
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) rescinded on Thursday accounting guidance long opposed by the cryptocurrency industry, an early move in President Donald Trump's pivot away from the policies of the prior administration and a win for the crypto sector.

Solid recommendation and actually one that provided some useful meat on the bones of an argument I had been considering for a while about how the Romans managed to get better performance out of auxiliary forces than most (esp. the Hellenistic kingdoms).
Lots of new followers (thanks!), and "woke" armies have been in the news a lot, so please excuse if I drop details of my book below. It looks at how ethnic and racial inequalities undermine battlefield performance in modern war since 1800. Diversity + inclusion are strengths that must be protected
