Okay but "The End of Oak Street" is literally my address and I don't know how I feel about this.

Mary, play "In The Navy" by The Village People 🫡🚀💫 #ProjectHailMary

Vintage-style cartoon poster of characters from Project Hail Mary. The top line of text reads, quote "He's Beauty, He's Grace, He's not gonna die in space!" End quote. The bottom line reads, quote "I put the not in astronaut", end quote. In a large circle in the centre, Ryland Grace is depicted in a dynamic heroic running pose, smiling, with a thumbs-down gesture. On his left is Rocky, waving one hand. On Grace's right is Eva Stratt, with her hands in her pockets and a neutral expression, looking at Grace. The overall colour processing uses old comicbook style halftone dots and a paper texture.

‼️ PSA for pixel artists!! If your image uploads are turning out blurry, please make sure you are NOT exporting your pixel art at 400% resolution. The Bsky WEBP compression algorithm severely blurs pixel art exported at this resolution, making it an unreadable mess. #pixelart

I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling. They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.

A screenshot of an email viewed in dark mode with the subject line "Google DMCA Violation." The email from Google informs the recipient that they have received a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) that some of their materials allegedly infringe on copyrights. It explains the removal process, mentions that notice details will be posted on Lumen, warns against repeated violations, and lists one affected Google Drive URL at the bottom

A nearly identical mobile browser screenshot of the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine. It shows a search for the same Amnesty International UK resources URL, resulting in the same message: "This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine."

Let's talk about naming your video game! This is something I come back to with teams over and over again. Naming is really hard. A decent name is hard to find, and a bad one will really make it hard for people to remember your game. Here are some tips.

Something I don't think many execs understand is that companies don't make games: They make teams. And if they do it well; if they make stable, well-resourced, high trust teams, those teams will make great games forever. But that only happens if the execs understand what the company makes.

when you work somewhere with a generous enough policy that actually respects you as a person when you're sick or unable to work, you learn two things (really just one): - how often you genuinely find yourself unable to work, now that you're allowed to - how often other people have these bad days too

I picked up this raggedy jersey as my next visible mending project. I had intended to run a gradient yarn through the damage and refinish the collar in crochet. Instead, I seem to have accidentally learned to repair the knit. Curious to see which way it goes as I get to the more complex bits.

We're going to see such a hard shift in culture toward embracing the aesthetics of naivety as a reaction to rapid information and genAI, "cringe" will shift from derogatory to complimentary. Graphic design is going to be so dominated by lot of collage, mspaint, and single photo subject matter.

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.
