I highly recommend Orion’s Lead Writer @annamegill.com (epic resume: CONTROL 🤯) books on how to write for games. Full of exact practical info & a survival guide urging us to take care of each other. I wish every c-suite exec would read it given cuts in narrative & I had it before I was at Rockstar.

Like #Rembrandt, Flinck lived and worked in the Jodenbreestraat area, where a small black community lived. The youngster Flinck portrayed as an archer ca. 1640 most likely lived in the neighborhood, maybe it was Javier, the son of Pedro and Marija Fernandes? #blackhistorymonth #day16 #amsterdam750

Correct. If the birthdate field contains corrupt or mismatched data, it defaults to 1875-05-20, which serves as a flag. May 20, 1875, is the day the international standards and metrics treaty was signed. Everything is a conspiracy when you don’t know how anything works.

Interesting. I'd say republics die with great ease once its ruling classes are no longer willing or able to defend the republican order. The swiftness with which the US currently submits to the arbitrary rule of one man and his clique suggests the US elite now has reached this stage.

Surprised fruit distribution never was a mechanic in any of the Sonic games.

One thing Ted Lasso taught me, as I am rewatching the show, is how important wholesome entertainment is. As David Mamet said, 'the purpose of drama...is to inspire cleansing awe.' Consider me cleansed, if even for a brief moment, and even in these cursed times.

Omg, just saw that r/Cyberstuck is referring to Cybertrucks as Swasticars now, and that's even better than the prior nickname of Wankpanzer.

Raise your hand if anything you ever said was value-destroying for you. 'Harmful' as a synonym was right there, and yet Zuck chose to cloak his humanity in business-speak. Poor man. www.404media.co/zuckerberg-s...

I've built a machine that can be Confidently Wrong. It can also make pictures that all look a bit the same, as well as make a video of you kissing any celebrity or person you know. In payment, I'd like to boil the world's oceans dry, & steal all literature. For some reason, my head is not on a spike

Writers! Where do I pitch my pornhub essays? I also offer naked TED talks on video, perhaps those could be considered too?
