Reminder to not use Sticker Mule 💅

Just blocked yet another with “polymath” in their bio, how does it still feel as good as the first time

Every day on the TDF I feel like I see something totally amazing that I've never heard of in my life. Look at this ridiculous cave. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Padirac...

Holding a black man who writes EXCELLENT and helpful essays about democracy responsible for the acts of a heinous and hateful white woman so powerful at the NYT she was the *BOOKS EDITOR* for like a decade before becoming an opinion writer says everything about you and nothing about him.

Hey hey #PortfolioDay I’m André - a visual artist and creative director reimagining Marge Simpson as a sword-wielding assassin cutting a blood soaked path of vengeance through the streets of Springjuku

Was searching for a photo and found these ghostly quiet ones I took on a foggy day in September 2023

Saw this little fella just wandering around my local A&W’s car park yesterday

Not only is the voice feature of the modern smartphone entirely vestigial, it also trolls you several times a day

The first rule of avoiding scam calls is to never answer unknown numbers, and even some known ones. Curious? Bored? Worried it’s an emergency? Wait the extra minute it takes for the call to go to voice mail, then decide if it’s legitimate.

Sick of scams? Stop answering your phone.www.washingtonpost.com Phone scams are still hugely popular — and they depend entirely on people curious enough to answer.

I still have Twitter because of fundraisers for Ukrainian defenders. I don't post here often because I can't handle multiple social media at once. But now our latest fundraiser for AFU is stuck, and maybe you folks could help? € 4,837 to go ▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓▓░░░░░░░░░ 56.7% polubotoktreasury.notion.site

This video is so good. Well worth popping on some decent headphones for it. Thanks @jjbbllkk.bsky.social I would definitely listen to that dance album youtu.be/U_7jpUYRKI8?...

Honestly these work almost verbatim for making indie games

As always, @neilhimself.neilgaiman.com has excellent advice.

What we have with “summarize this document” on one side and “elaborate on this point for me” on the other is the opposite of compression. We’re making the data bigger for transmission and then re-compressing it on the client receiver side lol

i am sure some people will find “summarize this document!“ useful it is just an odd example to justify the billions being spent on this stuff lol

I’ll take “companies that don’t understand their own brand” for 100, Alex

Well, it was nice while it lasted. I've been using DuckDuckGo as an alternative to Google for years and saw today that they're integrating AI into their searches. It sucks out here.

No way I’m watching the new Deadpool after that late recasting

If art directors and independent authors (really anyone who may need some art) out there want to find artists they can be 100% sure are human made, I’d encourage you to go to Cara.app , it’s exploded in # of artists recently and is completely wall to wall human made art

Cara | Artist Social & Portfolio Platformcara.app Cara is a social and portfolio platform for the entertainment art industry.

Yes.

Does it apply to non political speech as well? Like when a comedian or band says something like “[audience town] is my favorite town in the world!” Pandering for audience applause….is that claptrap?

How does it sound so modern? Mid 18th century.

The technical term for political stump speech nonsense that is said for applause is "claptrap".

Film in front of a TV instead of travelingyoutu.be you can do this at home and it's not too expensive.

Here it is your moment of zen (actual)

I'm taking a break from the traditional indie games industry for a bit because, ugh. Anyway here's something I'm actually excited about. I'm doing a series where I make short free games and then make a video about it. Probably the most creatively engaged I've been in years! youtu.be/XBg0wk_UQS4?...

I made a Breakout game but absolutely brutalyoutu.be What if I make a breakout game but add spin and other new mechanics to the genre? Download for free here: http://gamehole.itch.io/spinbreakFeel free to strea...
