I can't be expected to work in these conditions.

Melina is teething, which means she occasionally leaves blood stains on her toys that make it look like she murdered them.

I fucking hate the very concept of the stock market, but oh I see how you could get hooked on the smug satisfaction of seeing a storm on the horizon and bailing just in time. Anyway, fiduciary responsibility is bullshit and so is all of capitalism burn it all down.

I look so smart right now for finally selling all my Tencent stock last year.

Melina's hair is starting to grow out more, so now she has goofy little swirls on her head.

This feels like an unfair comparison given that Epic had boatloads of cash to keep Fortnite afloat while they experimented whereas Highguard was self-published. The problem here is consolidation of resources and lack of sustainable funding for new studios due to VC capture of the industry.

I bet George Santos would do great meows for pennies. That's the dark place this list sent me to.

I've been playing Once Upon a Galaxy nonstop since John recommended it, and I really want to give this game a shoutout! It's a great mobile title, but it's also on Steam, and on their store page they have a whole section demonstrating their art process and noting that no AI is used.

A graphic depicting data for the survey question "Do you use generative AI tools as part of your job?" A thumbs up symbol is above a statistic reading 36% say yes. A thumbs down symbol is above a statistic reading 64% say no.

That's probably my most nitpicky complaint so far. But there's also stuff like this, which is just useless data without accompanying sentiment. You need four categories here, Yes and I want to, Yes but I don't want to, No but I want to, and No and I don't want to.

Man, the more I look at this survey the more annoying it is. Why would you segment the hours like this? It should be 35-40 and 41-44 hours! With these bands you're including overtime alongside normal 40 hour weeks! Your data is scuffed! This is survey amateur hour!

The extra tidbit here that really caught me off guard is the title of "New York Stock Exchange CEO". I guess I had always assumed it was some sort of government entity? I legitimately did not think I could have a worse opinion of the stock market as a concept, but here we are.

Okay team, need some advice. A few minutes ago, I spotted an orange cat hiding in our backyard, who fled under the fence out of our yard when we made eye contact. It's dropping below freezing at night, is there anything I can do to help the little guy out?

There are some great recommendations in here if you're looking to improve your mobile game library!

Nice, I love games like this. Kind of like a competitive Throne of Bone.

Oh, I love them, but it needs to be something I can easily pick up and put down every few seconds for my current time windows.
