The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.

The lack of affordable, self-paid healthcare is one of the most anti small business stances one can take.

“today’s ruling allows the government to remove those individuals and others to any country that will take them—without providing any additional process beyond an initial removal hearing, and without regard to the treatment they may face in those countries” this is basically human trafficking!

We may be new to bsky, but we're not new to gamedev. Anyone interested in a souls-like inspired by Redwall with a 3DS-era aesthetic? #indiegames #indiedev #gamedev #fromsoft #soulslike

had an amazing time at GDC and I met so many people that I will remember forever! and familiar faces that keep me going. it’s a tough week as an introvert and my brain is still trying to process it all, but it already feels like the highlight of the year.

Flow was a really good movie and deserving of the win. Good soundtrack as well.

a really cool logic pro feature would be to set a flag on specific regions, like a note to re-record it or something.

I didn’t watch the election results last night. I deleted all my news apps. Didn’t plan on checking until Thursday. I guess somewhere in my heart I already knew, at least with Georgia. But I was spoiled this afternoon by an email from my fav local burrito chain’s mass email: “A Glorious Return”.
