Recognizing that not all criticisms are equally valid or need to be addressed has been a huge growth point for me

Guy Without Sufficient Learned Expertise To Avoid Fecking Up Hires Thousands Whom He's Insufficently Qualified To Detect When They're Fecking Up, Then Is Horrified To Have To Clean Up After Them When They've Fecked Up

The truth can be harsh. That doesn’t mean that anything harsh is the truth.

I use Gemini when I'm bored — and it's better than doomscrolling It became my ultimate distraction

WHAT IF YOU JUST READ A FUCKING BOOK

I guess the money from JKR wasn't enough

me and the other scheming viziers are wearing shoes gifted to us by the king that are way too big. we look ridiculous. the whole court is laughing at us behind our backs. honestly this is a pretty low point for us, the scheming viziers

Into the garbage bin they go, right next to Target.

We don’t need your shitty brands! You’re expendable but trans people are not.

I have to admit it's been a delightful diversion to watch this come into being. Especially given all of the *waves vaguely* everywhere

The danger to my job from AI isn't that AI can do my job, it's that my job is made even more precarious by the way AI is shaping ideas of the value of work. It can't do my job, but it can be part of convincing people (incorrectly) that my job isn't necessary.

If you’re roughly my age, it’s wild to reflect on the optimism for the future Americans felt when Obama was elected — young Americans spontaneously took to the streets to celebrate! — and contrast with what we face today. The falloff over the past 18 years is hard to process.

Wake up, babe. the worst Talking Heads cover just dropped.

Give me my fucking hour back. I need it

We otterposting? We're otter posting. Yes. That's it.

there's another bundle featuring one of the industry's biggest abusers and one of his many stolen games alongside the work of a guy who has publicly lamented he can't come out in favor of gamergate

I hate that nearly every post and article I see now reads like a tattered letter or partial file you'd find exploring a ruined city in a post-apocalyptic video game.

Me as recently as two years ago: There are bad people but everyone fundamentally wants to be good.

Me now: Evil is real and it must be punished.

Well, gas is expensive, and food is expensive, and we’re doing a war nobody wants, but at least there are no jobs

These games either made me or have been so fundamental to me that I will be thinking about them long after they're gone.

I fucking hate the American culture of entitled asshole selfishness. you see it everywhere. the driver assholes going 90 in a school zone. the assholes who don’t leash their dog or pick up their dog shit. the assholes who litter. the assholes who won’t vaccine their kids

Every time I read mangaka notes at the end of a volume it's always got some variation on "why did I do this I hate drawing this [very popular] person"

I know I just did a silly nopon spoof crossover doodle, but ... here's another one. Leonpon.

unwell Americans gotta be some of the most frustrating ppl to work with, you're not in good shape , you're operating at like 20%, you're slowing your work down and you're slowing my work down, why don't you just go lie down, being sick is not a personal failing it is actually ok to rest & heal ffs

"You can't take away GenAI what about the people who use it?! 😭😭😭"

Fuck 'em. Fuck every last one of them. The scrapers DDoS us every waking fucking hour, making it a nightmare to keep things running. I have ZERO sympathy for folks addicted to the plagiarism machine that lies to you.

Two simultaneous truths:

1. No matter how badly someone hurt you, once you part ways you don’t get to decide if they grow and become better. It’s their life and their choice.

2. You are never under any obligation to give them access to you, no matter how much they do that.

A children's hospital is renamed for Dolly Parton and hopes to transform pediatric care in Tennessee Dolly Parton’s name might inspire full-throated sing-a-longs to her working woman’s anthem “9 to 5,” or evoke memories of thrilling days spent at her Dollywood theme park.

“Dolly Parton Children’s Hospital did not share how much Parton donated as part of the naming announcement. But Matt Schaefer, its president and CEO, said her support would ensure ‘every child who walks through our doors receives the treatment they deserve.’”

GOD BLESS DOLLY PARTON
