NEW: The first two years of Massachusetts' millionaire tax has raised $3 billion more than expected.

And rather than driving the rich away, IPS researchers found that the number of millionaires has *increased.*

I’m way too busy for a girlfriend. One day you'll make time. You'll think of nothing else. You'll meet someone, and spend your days, dreaming of the moments you can hold them in your arms again. That's love. Fit check for my napalm era! Hey so I've been meaning to ask, why does the bird wear a tiny hat? I made it for the tiger, but the bird keeps stealing it. And let's send those disgusting demons back to the depths where they belong! The internet loves this, and the internet is never wrong. I’m a completely different person now. I'm great at controlling my anger. No, a normal amount of rage! Spandex is your best friend. It kinda feels like if I don't transform, I'm gonna die. I'll spend the rest of the year worrying about what I said. And a map to the best bathroom for pooping. The Great Pumpkin never showed up? Just wait till next year, Charlie Brown. You'll see! Next year at this same time, I'll find a pumpkin patch that is REAL sincere and I'll sit in that pumpkin patch until the Great Pumpkin appears. He'll rise out of that pumpkin patch and he'll fly through the air.

I rarely post early versions of games to the Game UI Database, but from the moment I saw the UI for Marvel Tōkon: Fighting Souls, I knew I had to break the rules.
I don't think I've ever seen an interface take inspiration from comic book templates before!

I've reposted many posts made by folks who were recently laid off from Heart Machine, but here is a thread that highlights them all.

I am also including folks who were previously laid off & are still looking for work. I will be linking their Bsky posts, as well as LinkedIn.

Please, share this. 🖤
