on top of, obviously, ending pay for all elected and unelected politicians during the shutdown, I propose that every time the government shuts down, all non-essential workers in the country are awarded PTO from their employers (who receive requisite tax benefits to offset the cost) equal to...

very few localities are directly downstream of discourse. touching grass and talking to normal people makes you realize that 99% of people in your community are 5-10 years behind what is going on. they're more directly downstream of the effects of tech and politics, but not the information

broke: trolling is making the internet worse and is ruining discourse woke: trolling is a form of discourse and is often a very fair response to conversations that deserve very little more than ridicule and disinterest reminder: not every topic of conversation is deserving of debate or air time.

it really is incredible how intuitive Blender is as a software. I am functionally a 3D modeling idiot when it comes to Blender and I was able to whip up this planter model for a game I'm working on in less than 10 minutes. it's basic but even just to get something super simple done, it was v fast.

game dev is awesome (for me) because it takes me back to square 0. I know nothing. this means that being able to spin around a little capsule with two twig arms feels cool.

you have to wonder just how innovative and industrious the US economy is when the primary weapon they use in the global market is less "innovation" and more "we will use the power of the USD as a global currency to bludgeon you to death while we whine about how unfair your trade practices are"

re-skinned ScrollWise to use a sidebar and I like the UI/UX a lot more, even in its currently vibe-designed form. you can now add/remove tweets and posts from the sidebar that are relevant to the prompt and automatically inject that content into your prompt. still aiming for a mid-November launch!

since we're re-upping the Trade War with China again, it's important to note that CN's exports are _increasing_ while the US is tanking its relationship with CN and several of its allies.

this is, of course, not surprising, but this admin pivoting the vast weight of the federal workforce entirely to immigration to “combat child trafficking, drug trafficking and transnational gangs” is almost definitely having a negative effect on those missions.

Tim Dillon is right, but not in any way that matters. the hypocrisy doesn't matter anymore. they don't have to be ideologically coherent. Jones was always a grifter. pointing out that he's a grifter doesn't do much.
