I used to live in Biddeford not too far from the shooting. I think about the immigrant families that lived in my building. The whole situation breaks my heart. Fuck ICE
Right now the world is full of people who want to code and write and paint and film stuff and people who want to play and read and look at and watch stuff and nobody is allowed to do any of that because some unrelated third guy isn't making enough money off the deal
Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · last mo.Our games industry is people. Our studios are people. Our teams people, our games by people for people. Our games are made by people, in groups of people, in teams of people, making people things for people. The magic is people, and the people deserve so much better than all this. I am so sorry.

Doing some (very long overdue) maintenance on my nepenthes collection. Found this monster hiding in the back

Having long awaited minor surgery tomorrow. Little extra *stress* right before. Water pump exploded in my basement, turning into a geyser and soaking everything. So no water for me in the morning, and a fun cleanup project for later 🫠🙃
Thursdays are now boring again now that this season of The Pitt is over. Thank god we're back again in January, bless this show for not having multi-year hiatus between each season 🙏
How it feels doing literally any task right now.
Amazon is trying to build one of their big ass ugly distribution warehouses in my town, which has a population of 4k people and all agricultural fields. 😒🤢
When a medical appointment you've eagerly been waiting for months is rescheduled at the last minute - again.
If you haven't read up about the Barkley Marathon (or better yet watch the documentary), you need to. Crazy it started so early this year (and looking to be extra brutal)
Keith@keithdunn.bsky.social · 6mo agoAfter a brief memorial, laz lit the cigarette at 6:00am. The 2026 Barkley Marathons has begun. #BM100
Endfield got me hooked. Resource management and factory building scratches that itch in my brain. So many fun elements from the original game brought over and expanded, plus it's gorgeous. Looking forward to seeing how it develops.
