One of my “wokest” beliefs is that if you improve the standard of living, give everyone a basic income and healthcare, shelter and good public transportation, you’d have less speeding. I seriously think a lot of speeding is born from a five times removed fear of “if I lose this job, I will starve.”
Just got passed by someone on a two lane road, speed limit is 30, I’m going 30, there are at least two schools on this road and sidewalks right on the street. Lots of pedestrians and many school kids. Still dark out.
Humbly, we’re doing something wrong.

No donations for 5 days. Please share & give to help little Hassan's family keep him alive through Israel's continuing genocide. Donations have slowed a lot since the 'ceasefire', & Palestinian babies like Hassan are still critically malnourished & freezing in winter rain:

Cartoonishly evil
United Health wants its ‘swagger back’.
How? By dropping a million seniors from Medicare Advantage
Why? America's largest insurer wants to improve its profit margins, medical costs are skyrocketing because the GOP cut Medicaid and ACA subsidies.

Twitter pays people based on engagement (views, retweets, comments, etc). It appears that many MAGA accounts are based abroad and they use AI technology to generate low-effort rage bait.
My guess is that this will get worse as AI tech improves. For instance, fake videos of minorities doing crime.

It’s especially ironic because the lecture is exactly about the ‘paralyzing cowardice’ of today’s elites.

Stop using AI for placeholder assets.
Use sketches. Use lorem ipsum. Use bright pink materials. Use programmer art for fucks sake, literally anything else.
If your studio is using AI even for temp, even if they think they've covered their tracks, SPEAK UP because people WILL FIND IT

Yesterday’s surgery was far harder than expected.
The swelling, nerve compression, and damaged tissue made everything longer and more dangerous.
😓💔
Majd made it through, but the next 48 hours are critical.
He must stay under close observation, and we urgently need Rare drugs
Please pray for him 🙏

You have to keep giving money to avoid collapse and if there’s collapse you have to give more money. It’s called the free market.
