I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

RT if you've never had a tab of ChatGPT open, period.

I'm a doctor and a dad. I rebuilt Detroit's health department, led Wayne County's Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services. We put glasses on kids, took on corporate polluters, eliminated medical debt. It just shouldn't be this hard to get by in the richest country in the world.

Yeah, uh, fuck Jared Kushner.

Understandable. With a two-year-old, a three-month-old and a very elderly husband at home, that’s a shitload of diapers that need changing.

check out what we're working on and Wishlist on Steam. We're making something we really believe in and I think it's shaping up to be really neat! We've also been a studio attacked for simply existing as queer, so your support means something really tangible.

Politics-free games don’t exist. We’ve always been open about where we stand, and Young Suns is no different. You can help a queer- and trans-run studio make this industry a better place for everyone by wishlisting Young Suns on Steam store.steampowered.com/app/4149610/...

It's been a couple of years since I tested converting from RGB to CMYK in apps other than Photoshop to see if we can achieve the same results. So, with most apps now updated, I figured it's time to compare results once again. Follow this thread. #ClipStudioPaint #Krita #AffinityPhoto2

Among many other things this is a good illustration of the necessity of untethering ideology and "fight" in intra-Democratic battles. The party is very united on fight, very divided on ideology. You unite on fight, let different constituencies/states find their center of gravity on ideology.

Pisces: Today you will win a battle against The Great Worm Ravathka, who has been immortalized in song and story as He Who Will Eat The Sun. Funny thing, though, turns out he's only about two inches long and just has a really good publicist.

They all do this. And it feels like a reflection on the humans behind them, whose inflated careers are built on never admitting they don’t know the answer. The ‘smartest people in the room’ if ‘smart’ just means glib and facile, turning out lies with complete conviction.
