Do you use the password manager by any chance? I think we'd try the duo and replace 1password, VPN, Gmail and Google drive. The domain email addresses is a great plus. I didn't quite realise how much they did now

Anyone use Proton around these parts? would love to hear about your experience!

it’s funny seeing canadian media present zohran as a “democratic socialist” like it’s some shocking thing and not just the left flank of the ndp

What We Lost When Condé Nast Unceremoniously Shuttered Teen Vogue This article is part of TPM Cafe, TPM’s home for opinion and news...

if you want to know what happened to Teen Vogue yesterday, my work wife @allegrak.bsky.social — who ran our politics section for 6 years until this past June — said it all in this.

can't even pull out a favorite part til I sign my separation letter lol, just read the whole thing.

Legal loophole through grammatical incorrectness

the cover for a book entitled Villain by Natalie Zina Walschots. the cover is a bright magenta with dark blue and teal lettering for the title, and the author's name is in yellow. there is an image of the silhouette of a woman carrying a cane, surrounded by the silhouettes of five superheroes.

Getting to show you all this cover and announce that VILLAIN is officially coming out in May of next year is such a joy and a relief i don't even know how to express it.

Opinion | The Right Didn’t Catch Cancel Culture From the Left

great piece from the always-great @pastpunditry.bsky.social and a welcome antidote to vacuous commentators whose historical memories seem to go back no further than the first iron man movie

The bait and switch we didn't know we needed

I made a very silly video game last year, that I still love. I was supposed to be showing it at QGCon this weekend but the body had other plans, so I am putting it up online. I might take it down after the weekend, but while it's up go play this dumb thing.

Trying to explain to medical professionals why I know about ECG and EEG pad placements because I did research on brain and muscle activated e-textiles is always a very silly experience.

The weird, heartbreaking FPS powered by science, not combat Ambrosia Sky's creative team pulls back the layers of their ambitious first-person game

This is simultaneously the best and worst thing.

I also made a fine stew and thought the same thing!

there are undoubtedly positive aspects to social media, but there are also a lot of drawbacks. for a time the benefits might have outweighed the drawbacks, but imo the cons surpassed the pros ages ago and that gulf only grows with every passing year. it‘s long past time we got it under control.

I would play this RPG

Yeah, I've atleast started diminishing on the rapid tests yesterday and today which has given me hope. Today is day 17 lol.

I'm truly looking forward to the goo humour to set in. Does that hit at 16 days testing positive or do I have to make it to 20?

Anecdotally I've found it helpful to manage it weirdly in a similar fashion as I would an ancient response to convos. If my brain is moving slowly stopping and taking a few deep breaths.

The logic seems to be that you need to very very slowly with our exerting yourself build back up cardio health.

I've been reading a bit about the actual reason for the brain fog as well and with my non medical expertise understanding, it seems to be a lot about how COVID restricts oxygen flow in the body. When you're foggy doing some breathing exercises in a darkened room.

I was reading a study the other day looking at coder half ai assisted. While they did code less, it took the 20% longer to get the tasks done. The real horror to me was that since it took less effort on their part they all believed they took 20% less time.

If you care about games, take a moment to read through this and take action. NSFW games might not be for you - they're not for me - but we cannot allow a small group of censorious extremists to decide that people can not make games about sex, about sexuality, and about the role of sex in our world.

Leaked documents confirm that Microsoft is providing millions of dollars worth of cloud computing and AI surveillance tools to coordinate airstrikes which have killed over 50,000 Palestinians so far.

Microsoft employees demand an end to ties with the Israeli military.

OddFolk by hugeboar A modular game of compounding consequences.

Alrighty, here we go! My #ZineMonth project, OddFolk, is released and funding on Itch! I've been working on this game for over a year and I"m really quite fond of it.

OddFolk is a modular TTRPG of compounding consequences that exclusively uses D4s.

It seems the universe thought you were on a quest for beagles and did the best it could.

Opinion | The assault on DEI? It’s aimed at resegregation. The GOP leaders attacking inclusion programs want to go back to an era when White men ran everything

My latest.

As journalists and writers, we have a duty to use language that is accurate and describes our current reality.

I’m no longer going to talk about DEI/Anti-DEI.

Let’s be clear. We are facing racial purges and re-segregation.
