Went out for drinks last night with a bunch of libertarians. I mean, one of them is a good friend so it was a good enough time I guess. But I ended up justifying why software engineers should get college degrees (in CS), and yea that was weird. Also: Trumpers are emboldened these days.

If you are fan of Donald Trump and his idiotic, inhumane policies, which hurt the majority of Americans while helping billionaires then please unfriend me on BlueSky immediately and elsewhere if you want, too. Thanks.

The best thing about bluesky sofar is I don't have to see posts about Trump or his clowns. For now at least my feed is all indie gamedev and stuff.

Can't believe David Lynch is gone. That means no season 4 of Twin Peaks. Ughh! 2025 sucks already
