As we approach the midterms, remember that the Alt National Park Service is a merch sales operation claiming without evidence to be a group of federal employees, and is not a genuine source of news about elections of any kind.
Please get your election info from a local, reputable source.
there really is something so heartbreaking seeing huge studios with life long fans closing down while more and more genAI games start to flood the industry. support human creativity. support artists, storytellers, coders, and anyone else who works to bring raw spirit to these things.
the funniest thing about vibe coding to me is that even when it makes something vaguely functional or even pretty, it’s just complete junk underneath the hood. built even worse than a drunk underpaid developer
social platforms are either Vibe Coded Horseshit, Actively Supports Nazis, or Demonizes Trans Women. usually all of the above, unfortunately for us folks who aren’t fucking awful
“People don’t understand what kind of data they’re handing over,” EFF’s @evacide.bsky.social told @theverge.com, because Muse’s user interface is designed to encourage you to overshare. "It’s using dark patterns, and as a result you end up with Muse doing things that people don’t want.”
Vibe coded programs are extremely dangerous. You have no idea wtf the code is made to do, and neither does the person distributing it.
Like sure, it could infect your PC or create backdoors, but also memory leaks, render files unusable, brick it so you can't boot, anything

There's no telling what damage it can do or what vibecoded landmines are waiting in it.

I end undergrad talks with the annoying 'comics advice' of: you have to sleep, you have to eat, you have to move your body in whatever way works for you, you have to engage with the world outside of your desk and outside of comics entirely. sleep is the foundation!! you can't compromise on that!!

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

two buckets of villains that I keep in my brain. one is weird freaks with compelling backstories who I’m inexplicably obsessed with. the other is dudes who genuinely suck and are awful and I’m inexplicably obsessed with
Today would've been the sixty-fifth birthday of Yu-Gi-Oh! creator Kazuki Takahashi.
It tends to get swallowed up in the enormous franchise it became, but I truly believe that his original manga can provide a valuable lesson to artists about process and work and improvement over time.
On my last day in Tokyo back in May, I did a chiikawa gatcha and considered whichever character I got to be fate. shisa became my pocket companion and they are now my favorite

Omigod, this is the most heartwarming story possible!
Backpack (bear 89) is the son of the 2019 winner of Fat Bear Week, Holly (bear 435).
In 2007, he injured his foot & a practice of riding on momma's Holly's back had a new meaning: he was mobility-restricted while it healed.
So Holly moved him.
