Looking at bluesky is being like Shakyamuni, in great compassion, trying to lower a single spider thread into hell to help those suffering escape but it's baseball and they like it down there

Anecdotal, but I'm definitely noticing an uptick in advocacy for violence here. About which I'll say only this: Promoting violence on social media is the work of trolls and fools, those eager to bait others into implicating themselves in the age of surveillance or fools rushing to the gulag.

NEW: White House says the arrest and deportation of student activist & legal US resident, Mahmoud Khalil, is a blueprint for more. The final line here is chilling. The White House specifically says Khalil was not breaking the law. No evidence, no due process, no crime. He was just disappeared.

In an alternate world where you are a murderer and Columbo is investigating you, what would he have to pretend that he and/or his wife are interested in?

Wait, Game Developer has incorrect info. They were writing the costs as "0.02 cents" when the actual numbers are in DOLLARS. Big difference between 0.20 cents and $0.20 you doofuses. Ok, yes, this is prohibitively expensive. blog.unity.com/news/plan-pr...

The baffling thing about Unity charging per app install is there is no way they will recoup enough money to break even with the money and goodwill they lose just by announcing this. The actual amounts devs have to pay are trivial. But this will drive people to Unreal and Godot out of principle

It’s Pumpkin Spice season again, and though I wasn’t the first to make this joke, I do want to be the first to actually make a print-on-demand book of it with commissioned cover art. Maybe for next year…

Ahsoka is like if the last time you saw your worst enemy and best friend they were on a boat being attacked and towed away by orcas, but we don't know where orcas live most of the year (this is true) so you need to find a map to the part of the ocean where the orcas live. The orcas are space whales.

"Every developer has opted to pay Montreal [a fine] instead of building affordable housing, under new bylaw" Five even ceded land to the city rather than build affordable housing on it. No shit! What will it take for radical centrists to understand housing developers are literally evil? Is it this?
