A new comic about that choir I joined, and my family's overall appreciation. My youngest daughter is slowly turning into a little old lady (she's 9).

I started down this path of making an isometric game before retreating to the top-down style in Canary. If Canary does well enough maybe I'll get a chance to work on this again. #gamedev #indiegamedev youtu.be/pfoh1nE9yXU

This right here.
Just really sucks that so many of us are barely getting by (if that), and the people who stole from us are rewarded with billions. It's hard to put into words how demoralising that is.

I got my last job at the peak of the "seekers" market, when everyone seemed to be hiring. A few years later, looking for work at my age feels like I'm a Chief Judge leaving Mega-City One to start The Long Walk into the wasteland...

I say this as someone who loves tech, is a lifelong programmer, and cyberpunk nerd:
Tech bro CEO's are anti-humanist psychopaths.

Saw this video of Tristan Harris on Diary of a CEO sharing what AI-tech bros have shared regarding their motivations pursuing this technology. It’s horrifying.
These tech ghouls have us all on a suicide mission because of their EGOS. 🫠

McDonalds confidently telling the world they chose to work *harder* not smarter just to fellate the AI industry is incredible. Embarrassing, coming from the folks who's claim to fame is making burgers more efficiently and faster than anyone else.

Heya apparel-making folks: I'm looking for a really solid POD that has 50/50 or tri-blend options, not just Gildan trash-cotton. Any recommendations?
Likewise with buying blanks to screenprint myself.

Go ahead. As if folks won't just factory wipe their phones before entry and restore once they're in country.
Another giant neon sign telling you not to use your legal name on the socials. Good netiquette used to mean always using a nickname, never your actual name - should have stayed that way.

Jeez. All tourists - including those from Britain - will have to undergo a social media screening before being allowed entry into the US under new plans being considered by the country's border force

US plans to start checking all tourists' social media
The potential social media mandate being proposed by Customs and Border Protection (CBP) would apply to anyone visiting, whether they require a visa or not.
