Had my first ever 3v3 playtest of my game on stream tonight!! Huge progress for this project I have been working on in my spare time for the past 6 months or so.

Curious about what it looked like? Check out the VOD at twitch.tv/videos/2652645701?t= 😄

I am also streaming on this channel most days except for Wednesdays, so feel free to stop by and say hello! 😄

Generally well informed sources told me, that the

International Criminal Court icc-cpi.int/

was kicked out of #ms365 within seven days (#Microsoft does not confirm.)

Given the actual development around @hateaid this means that everybody who is in disagreement with the US regime can loose acess to all the data in the public US #cloud s within ONE WEEK.

"Like Prime, but with human beings"

“We need to get better at treating this like a business,” ICE acting director Todd M. Lyons said at a border security conference in April, according to the Arizona Mirror. The administration’s goal, he said, was to deport immigrants as efficiently as Amazon moves packages: “Like Prime, but with human beings.”A box car used in the holocaust to transport human beings to the camps.

And all through the house
All the adult cats were snoozing

Today was an exciting day for Alice and an anxious day for me. Her roommate went home for Christmas several days ago and had invited Alice to spend Christmas with her. This meant that for the first time in her life, Alice flew across country completely on her own. #parenting #diasability #accessibility #travel

It’s absolutely true that AI is reducing jobs, but not like you think. AI is not *doing* those jobs instead of people, AI speculation is redirecting *investment* away from job-creating businesses to capital-intensive businesses.
