hard to maintain friendships with game developers because all these motherfuckers have ADHD and forget you exist when you're out of sight (it's me i'm these guys)

No one knows how many people die in Mississippi's jails, in part, because many of the state’s hundreds of local law enforcement agencies find reporting requirements burdensome, state officials say
No One Knows How Many People Die in Mississippi’s Jails. Here’s Why.
From medical neglect to suicide, the lack of information on jail deaths can allow the same deadly problems to lead to more deaths.

I wish #lists could be used to compile similar posts rather than just users. I want to manage all of the video essay recommendations I've been making, but it seems my best option for now is a thread. So I need to make a main thread to pin to keep track of those, my business marketing, and game dev..

Am I the only person who thinks this is great? Like, “yes, we should have a variety of candidates in primaries. Let’s stop being afraid of what Fox News is going to say, they are going to say it anyway.”

I am physically, emotionally, and mentally going through it right now, but the good news is that after this weekend, I'll have time for game dev and game jams again.
Current Projects/Goals:
- Rhythm game sample in Godot
- Idle Garden updates
- Etsy Shop product design (more on this later 👀👀)

they're treating a Nazi takeover of the federal government as no big deal and the possible election of Zohran Mamdani as the end times. it's a remarkable job of failing to meet the moment, and the most revealing sign yet they don't want to do anything at all except cling to party power.
the anti-Mamdani crashout among status quo Dems (amidst a federal fascist usurpation no less) might well be the final harbinger of "whig irrelevance collapse" i've been expecting all these years
