A reminder that CD PROJEKT RED is hiring!

This is the ideal male body. You may not like it, but this is what peak performance looks like.

Typical day renting a century-old home in New England: *BANG* "You okay?" "Yeah, the doorknob fell off again."

The real story of Cassandra wasn't that she had magic powers it was that the bad guys test their strategies on those with the least power first and then execute them on a broad scale. www.salon.com/2025/02/24/w...

Oh my god YES

Good morning friends! Sending you all a big hug on this Friday morning. Today I will be trying to remember that even small acts of kindness and love matter—and to do a few.

Dear Verizon: After rejecting you several times, we've stopped answering the door. We live on the second floor. Your move.

Low key stalking my ex studio when they log onto Steam with the company account. So that's what you're playing nowadays hmm?

I often make 64x64px #pixelart games, just to see what's possible at such a small resolution. This is a concept for a dungeon crawler, in 4 colors. Did you know, you only need 3 colors to render a 3D shape? Yeah. That's why the 4 shades of the Game Boy are enough.

reminded once more of this classic @jfallows.bsky.social piece www.theatlantic.com/past/docs/is...

Happy 35th Birthday Adobe Photoshop! On February 19, 1990, Adobe Systems released a raster graphics editor called Photoshop 1.0.

They are attempting to enforce a new Lost Cause narrative. Just as the original justified Jim Crow, reshaping and constricting our public memory concerning Black contributions and the national struggle against slavery and racism paves the way for the assault on civil rights and re-segregation.

Neon Genesis Evangelion Episode 19 A Man's Battle Introjection

I made notebook comics with a friend in highschool about how absurdly large Gendo's office was

I wish to communicate with the outside world solely through Evangelion screenshots from this point on.

I've become hooked on Thai coconut milk sticky rice. I'm looking into making it at home, if anyone has advice on how to make it. I have a pressure cooker and determination.

During Kendrick's halftime show a man unfurled a Palestinian flag and was chased off stage and eventually tackled and removed by security.

My parents probably didn't watch but I hope it pisses them off

In preparation for today’s Super Bowl in New Orleans, state police forced over 100 homeless men and women onto buses under threat of arrest, dumping them in an unheated warehouse. Tents destroyed, belongings lost. Press are barred from the warehouse. The price tag for this cruelty? $17.5 million

Kendrick's stage presence is just unreal, but my favorite thing about that performance is actually the background dancers. After they clear the boxes, they deliver a clear homage to the S1W's of Public Enemy. Here they are in the "Fight the Power" (1989) music video, directed by Spike Lee.

Healey-Driscoll Administration Releases State’s First Ever Comprehensive Housing Plan

Tech art makes my dreams come true 🌈 ✨

The admin is intentionally misinterpreting the programs the target hiring of disabled people. The initiatives have been in place since the before the 1980s. All employees must be qualified to do essential tasks w/o accommodations. This could lead to huge consequences for the disability community.

Suddenly, out of nowhere, a declassified World War II-era CIA guide to sabotaging fascism in the workplace has become one of the most popular free ebooks on the internet: www.404media.co/declassified...

Did you know many #accessibility features designed for other issues can also help reduce cognitive load in games? High contrast modes can make it easier to see useful items in visually overwhelming scenes, and volume sliders for different types of sound help players focus on important sounds.
