Watched X and It Follows while the fireworks went off and people cheered. Halloween Is every day.

If my opinions are nasty and I'm coming across as an a-hole, I would like ppl to call me out before unfollowing me. I like to think I'm okay with being corrected.

These Bay Area Restaurants Are Offering Free Food to SNAP Recipients Amid a government shutdown that will cut off aid for 42 million Americans, local food scene folks plan to pick up the slack.

While the feds continue to play stupid games, SNAP recipients are set to lose food aid for the next month. In the Bay Area, a growing number of restaurants are stepping up to help, and we're maintaining the list. Share with anyone who needs it. www.coyotemedia.org/these-bay-ar...

Thereโ€™s a lot of discourse around #videogame graphic quality right now - and thatโ€™s why I created the Spectrum of Gaming Graphics for The #GameDev Strategy Guide. Whatโ€™s your favorite game and where does it fall on this spectrum? Check out my TikTok on it here - www.tiktok.com/t/ZTMCEgu73/

I defended the Capitol on January 6. The rioters think theyโ€™ve won. I didnโ€™t face the mob on January 6 just to back down now.

How many games journos should there be?

What languages do these former journos speak?

Could be a DB error.

We wouldn't need to block ads if they weren't so intrusive. We need to abolish corporate surveillance.

Why do you get mad at the immigrant who takes your job (not really tho), and not get mad at the employer who fired you to save money by hiring a foreign worker?

Employers. Comprende?

Not leadership. Opinions cannot make policy. I can't believe no one has stood up to this racist. I can't believe we're even talking about this.

Those assholes wouldn't go anywhere near a war. They punch down: immigrants, poll workers, Zelenskyy, fishing boats.

I'm confused as to how Aryanism would work (coexist) with Imperial Japan. What was the plan? And would they really have divided the USA?

The USA is huge. Most resources. AAoS. Zerg.

Inclusion wins.

The Axis relied on surprise and cruelty. Their plans were unsustainable.

Poland and France had only WWI defenses. North Africa had none. Germany was outmaneuvered by Russian grass.

Germany had the best tanks, Japan had morale.

BTW: the German uniform skull motif suggests serious mental problems.

The US gave up on solar panels 15, 20 years ago. China has always been able to produce them cheaply (but low quality).

And bc oil politics, China has the EV market now too.

AI won't be totally addictive. That was just cell phones, social media, and potato chips. And slot machines.

Everywhere. Marina, Pac Heights, Russian Hill, GG Park. Anywhere there is a green space, they can dig a den.

They also take a keen interest in grocery and garbage bags.

Small pets and children beware! Coyotes are not easily frightened.

I know we're upset about itch, but they're not the only ones

Payment processors harassed companies bc of a 1,000 email hate campaign

But we can EASILY top 1,000!

This doesn't seem like a cognitive-behavioral issue.

Being "unable to make the connection" suggests low intelligence (yet 1st cohort was students).

Not realizing actions influence outcomes suggests low self-esteem (or some alt worldview).

Just an indie dev trying to rationalize things...
