I'm open for a variety of vector and pixel art commissions! Kamen Rider web anime renders, retro action figures and character pixels are £15 each. Transformers-style insignia (and similar) are £10 each. Emoji are £5 each (torment your friends for cheap). DM me if interested!
it's tragic that cryptocurrency is a deliberately wasteful gambling instrument. imagine if there was an actually usable way of bypassing payment processors

"Americans might elect a normal Dem in '28 who will try to repair relations. But what if they opt for another insane Canadian-hating demagogue? From Canada's perspective, what’s the point of signing a contract with Dr. Jekyll when Mr. Hyde might emerge later, betray you, & tear up the whole thing?"

one thing about "the ick" is that it's my first exposure to INSANE reactionary gender politics by women
Not (strictly) hiring but: I was exposed to some gender/dating nonsense earlier this week when a local celebrity asked about her followers' dating icks and one of the top comments was "drives with both hands on the wheel"
what's the most insane hiring shibboleth you've ever heard, non-coffee edition

Not to get political on main, but I hate... no, I absolutely loathe gambling, I abhor it! I despise this predatory industry, what it does to people, how it targets vulnerable people, and how it worms its way into everything. If I ever got into power, I'd criminalise these companies.
Hey, ProPublica reporter Jake Pearson here. I’m taking over the account to tell you about my new story.
For months, I posed as a problem gambler on DraftKings to test the company's "responsible gaming" safeguards.
Spoiler alert: They made me a VIP — and I lost $10K. Here's how it all went down. 🧵

Heads-up for fellow CRPG dungeon crawler fans as one to avoid: this one is made by ban-evading neo-nazis.
So this game called "Dverghold" came across my Steam homepage. Interesting retro vibes, apparently collabing with a dungeon synth artist for the OST.
The art was kinda tickling my AI-dar though, so I scrolled down to look for any disclaimers.

A hidden list of 100 abusers in Silicon Valley.

Sam Altman used to date Peter Thiel, known for recruiting young men for sex (one died of suicide).
Sam's sex parties are notorious for how hard they go, and the abuse. Three sources told me about this:
