Just added a new “smooth mode” to Pro Color Harmonies.
@ryanfeigenbaum.com ’s carefully designed lightness/chroma boundaries created abrupt jumps when the input values shifted, so I added an optional interpolation layer that blends everything together more gently.

I can not begin to convey my disappointment at how over 80% of Canadian voters support these right-wing policies that harm our country and our planet just to appease US investors. The Liberals and Conservatives are not on our side and are not looking out for our best interests.

And these are just the processing facilities. No one has toured the concentration camps, and we can only imagine what horrors are happening there.
Today, after months of requests, I toured the Broadview ICE Processing Facility. I want to share what I saw.
The facility has no food vendor, no medical care, and detainees have to use toilets in the middle of shared cells. These are in no way suitable conditions to be holding anyone — period.

How is this not 100%? This is insanity. It is insane that it is even a question for a poll.
I would like to see the correlation between these results and the parents polled who scored higher than 60% in their high school science class.
What the heck is wrong with people. Stop killing your kids.
