A stranger asks me the time. I instinctively look at my wrist, where I haven't worn a watch in TWENTY YEARS.

Hey Seattle don’t forget to vote by tomorrow evening, the low turnout for August elections means your vote is going to be extra potent, like you’ve been gooning for democracy

The core argument is that cities like Seattle are so addled by left-wing ideology that they have fallen into dystopia. In reality, the city has never adequately funded harm reduction programs and continues to rely on incarceration to address homelessness. What Powell wants is what we're doing.

Me at the beginning of The Odyssey: "A man. A plan. A canal. Panama."
Wile E. Coyote, despaired, takes a bucket of paint and a brush and paints a beautiful two-bedroom house on a mountainside. He paints a beautiful coyote wife in the window, and two adorable coyote kids running around in the yard. He tries to enter this new coyote life, but it is inaccessible to him
One note on The Odyssey: they went HAM on the lightning! I could feel the wrath of Zeus but I couldn't see it since I had to keep my eyes closed during the storm scenes. It caused me physical pain and I ain't even photosensitive!

So I decided i want to go see the Odyssey today since this is my last chance to grab a weekday matinee for awhile. And they have a 7:45am showing?? It's like the only matinee left where you can still get IMAX seats, so I guess I'm gonna go to an early bird movie with a bunch of nerds
So apparently the last post i shared had the wrong address, whoops! Seattle friends, I'll be selling my book and my bat plushies at the Biz and Book fair in Woodinville on August 8! Come by to support local authors and artists, and I'll be participating in an author spotlight as well!

The main way in which AI has negatively impacted games industry jobs is not through actual automation of those jobs or even untrue claims about automation. It's by making capital unavailable because it's tied up in AI investments while also destroying the consumer base for video game hardware.

Can anyone post me some good browser horror games, or games that use browsers as a form of psychological horror? I have played some but i want to expand my knowledge. Im also slightly out of the loop on recent text games apart from typing horror which I am strangely addicted to
