The Lake San Marcos dam often overtops after heavy rainfalls, which is pretty cool.
Imagine reading this incoherent garbled nonsense and proudly thinking "that's my president!". As long as a sizeable portion of the population thinks that this is what strength or leadership look like, this country is doomed.

Humanity is on a downward spiral. 8 years ago he already ran on an anti-immigrant platform and people voted for it, but when images of people in cages and separated families started making the rounds, there was a backlash.

Now we have Alligator Alcatraz, people sent to CECOT, and disabled veterans getting their health care funding slashed so we can better fund the immigration Gestapo and his people are super cool with it. Yeah, fuck this.

This industry has officially jumped the shark, parachuted off a plane with the shark, and then grilled and eaten the shark. https://www.nytimes.com/2025/05/11/technology/tech-crypto-martial-arts.html?unlocked_article_code=1.G08.zyU4.PqZTFp26TnJE&smid=nytcore-android-share
The Tech Guys Are Fighting. Literally.

Not content to battle it out in the boardroom, crypto bros, tech executives and start-up founders have embraced an old-fashioned version of masculinity.

Now that Duolingo is a bit questionable, has anyone tried brilliant.org? It's set up very similarly but for learning various skills, like math. I'm two days into it and it's really cool so far.
Of course they're removing the BLM mural in Washington DC. This administration is sparing no expense to demonstrate just how much they disrespect BIPOC.

United might have the wrong impression of how large the airport is. 7-8 minutes, sure? 78, not unless you're a snail.

Just stumbled over this old FB post. That was when we were in the final stretch of the first Red Dead Redemption, after many months of crunch. And before ship date (the game shipped May 18, we were working 7 days a week in the months leading up to that). So if you're wondering why I left games....

I wouldn't rule out going back in the distant future, things have gotten better since then. Maybe one day.

It's unfortunate that the studio became another victim of the tech and gaming layoffs in 2024. It was refreshing to have a game dev run by Black creatives. And of course unfortunate that it didn't sell well and there unsurprisingly was a lot of racist haterade thrown at the game online. This is why we can't have nice things. /3
