Double Fine is my favorite studio and since moving to the Bay, Ive made several friends there. I’m so glad the studio wasn’t closed down but I’m gutted that they had to do layoffs. They’ve weathered a lot over the years. Layoffs affect everyone at the company even if they kept their jobs. Tough day.

You know why America sucks? Mitch McConnell is one of the most powerful people in the world & steady collecting a hefty paycheck, while he is at best unconscious, & most likely dead. Yet you out there, you have to show up to work to get paid, & you'll never be paid as much as him, or be as powerful.

Jewel Food Stores (Kroger) has decided to sell their Taylor Farms salad mixes for 2/$8 instead of pulling them off their shelves. I talked to three different employees there and none of them have even heard about it. One guy is leaving a note for the day manager. Corporations are very bad people.

Nobody talks about how we're all paying $15 for sandwiches now and just pretending that's normal. Five years ago that same sandwich was $8. The price doubled and the only explanation we got was "supply chain issues" which apparently means "forever."

For most of us, seeing the Klan 2.0, a.k.a. Patriot Front, march through Washington, D.C., unchallenged by authorities overshadowed any celebration of America’s 250th anniversary. My ancestors lived through this. And no one today can say with a straight face that racism is behind us.

I love opening VS Code and it updated and it shows me the update notes and every single feature is some bullshit for people who don't write code any more and just talk to a chatbot all day. Why do you people even need a text editor.

Per last repost, I do think that in the US a lot of people, like a LOT of people, do not realize that if a birth certificate is no longer proof of citizenship then most of us have no proof of citizenship. At all.

Your Prime Day reminder that half of Amazon warehouse workers struggle with food & housing costs. A third have had to rely on government assistance like SNAP — which was gutted last year. If Bezos can spend $500M on a yacht, Amazon can afford to treat its workers with dignity.
