Hi,

My dog (Sophie) is turning 4 today!

Aaron's got you with the best practice way to do it.

If you need to do it quickly, you could also use a find/replace or strip for any character not in a-z,A-Z,0-9 and hit both the game name and the file name with the same function before checking if the name matches.

Best of luck!

the video of another person being murdered by the state on the streets of minneapolis shows exactly what people are saying it shows. make your own choices but don’t feel like you are obligated to bear witness to it. reading a description is enough.

Did you eat? Take your meds? Drink water? Tell someone you love them?

Mawar had a lot to say during some behind-the-scenes downtime! Mawar shares her thoughts the best way she knows how, through chuffs, grumbles, and some seriously impressive tiger talk. Mawar recently celebrated her 7th birthday, and clearly still has big feelings about it. 😂

Stand With Minnesota A directory of places to give to as Minnesota defends itself from ICE occupation

crazy that the website that I randomly decided to put together at 10AM yesterday has had over 25k unique visitors in 24 hours.

please keep sharing with your networks.

I came across this pileated woodpecker this morning. While they often work on the base of trees, I was not expecting to see her head popping out from behind a pile of snow. #birds

In case folks are looking for places to donate, @ziibiing.com has compiled a handy list!

Pretty sure that an underrated type of cinema is going back with the original script and doing it again with different folks. Bonus points if they're developed in tandem but the two iterations aren't allowed to interact until the debut.

Could someone connected to the same Wi-Fi or who is situated close to you physically be into baseball?

Again, my experience is anecdotal, but holds true across multiple phones, accounts, geography, and time. Though this behavior does ebb and flow like it's in a/b testing.

So anecdotally, if I'm on Instagram and near my parents and one of them is as well, my entire feed changes both on the timeline and on explore.

Testing this theory, when out of state at a friend's house, my feed was quite normal until they also started using Instagram and my feed mirrored theirs.

Ian lives in/near Minneapolis, and therefore is quite near the ICE shooting, which is near where George Floyd was killed, and is still under daily low-flying aerial surveillance that makes sleeping difficult, and, and,....

People need to know it happened. They need to know who did it. They need to feel and to act in whatever way they can to make their part of the world better.

They don't need to see someone die on screen. No one needs the additional trauma or secondhand PTSD, which is a real thing.

If you see it and it gives you intrusive thoughts play some Tetris

Don’t watch a video of someone dying.

It is the animated series!

Reviving ReBoot With A Tape Deck Repair Do you remember ReBoot? If you were into early CGI, the name probably rings a bell, since when it premiered in 1994 it was the first fully computer-animated show on TV. Some time ago, a group found…

"Hey, can you get the PoC over to our PoC?"

Said earnestly to me, by someone who only just realized as they said it both that what they said was nonsense and that the point of contact was a black person. 🤦‍♀️
