Hayao Miyazaki's short guide to watercolor painting -- we put this translation together a couple of years ago

what about the underperformer Zuck, who wasted billions of dollars on a VR Second Life used by like 5 people

This is truly what y’all sound like.

My coauthor and I are almost done writing our textbook. We’re finishing more than a month ahead of schedule. It has been a wild year-and-a-half

I’m glad bluesky finally seems to be ramping up :)
