I think Israel thinks things will go back to normal after they’re done with their genocide of the Palestinian people. I don’t know about you but that’s not going to happen. I will NEVER visit Israel. My boycott of Israel – and anyone and anything complicit with the perpetration of this genocide – will last a lifetime. This atrocity will haunt them for generations. Their name is mud. And it will stay mud.

Hey all, if you use Meta at all, now is the time to - yet again - object to them scraping all your data to train their shitty AI (I can't believe they're still doing this shit).

More from the file hoard. Commission for a group of friends wanting a retro RPG campfire scene to commemorate... well, them. This was a fun one.

The kids are alright.

For younger folks reading, I turned 50 years old this year. You're never too old to encounter another chance at love. If it feels right, it feels natural - take the chance because you don't want to leave yourself with - what ifs - by never taking another chance at finding genuine, mutual love. All great things involve some elements of personal vulnerability & some risks ❤️

Even if "only sick kids die of measles", that is still someone's life, someone's kid, someone's friend. Why would you be eager for it to be ok for them to die just because they're "sick"?

I have never been prouder in my life to work at a company than I am today https://youtu.be/uayO0CHwo5k?si=-s4ZN994x3KS_ZMN

(this is actually real, as silly as it is, and it's actually pretty amazing, fulldisclosureIworkatImpactSoundworks)

HOLY SHIT I DID IT #stardewvalley

I guess spending 3 hours attempting to choke down an increasingly cold and gelatinous bowl of oatmeal is ONE way to lose weight

@lauren Wait. Really? FUCK. Do we have a source for this?

You think you're reasonably stable and then your dishwasher doesn't start and suddenly you are a shaking, crying mess on the floor, you can't breathe, the walls are closing in, the world is spinning

Found on FB.

Today, right now, it's more important than ever to form human connections. I know it's hard. But it's so, SO important in an age of disinformation and radicalization. You are not alone. You have people who care about you - real people, not a chatbot.

Reach out. Please.

@clarablackink This is true; I mostly put it there because there is always, always at least one AI techbro dude who will go "nurr but AI is the future, it's inevitable, you need to adapt or die" and I wanted to shut that dude up preemptively

I see some of y'all using genAI "art" for stuff you're doing and I am just letting you know I will not support anything that uses it. It's the hill I am dying on; I don't care if it's "inevitable" or whatever, I know so, so many artists who need work and you should commission them instead of generating stolen slop

Hey #vgmusic #gamemusic #cover #remix people - This album is finally out! It's a collection of arrangements of boss themes from various games. If you wanna hear my take on the Banjo-Kazooie final battle music then it's track 7 (and features all live musicians): https://lnk.to/boss-pe

What Europe should do RIGHT NOW: Make it extremely easy for US scientists to get long-term visa, create as many additional research jobs in key areas as possible, create new, generous science and research funds. People are losing their jobs over there NOW. Let‘s welcome them.

I think today's a good time to remind everyone that your worth is not determined by being or not being in a relationship, and that we don't need to buy things in order to show each other love.

@bram Oh wow. Yup, same with music composition for me, honestly.
