IPhones are cool and all, but I’m a fan of usable file management.

Or ya know, shooting at leg-level? Shooting the hand that was trying to manipulate the door knob?

Because humanity is not a nice thing?

He looks like he’s holding his breath until Fani Willis gives him a cookie.

I’d say that would be useful, but using it would be depressing so it sounds like a double-edged sword.

I’m childless but I hope someone will keep using it. I haven’t refinished it, but a small part of the nickel plating has worn away on one side, so I might look into getting it plated. It has a nice size & balance!

One of my tasks at work is creating content - blogs, social media posts, internal communication emails, etc. We are instructed to write everything at a 5th-grade level because that’s where the average American reads. Not the lowest-level American, the average.

I also get to do customer support for people who would not have to contact me if they had actually read the information I wrote for them.

I still use an old 20s-era Gem that I got at an antique shop for $10. Once you get the shaving technique down it’s a nice soothing ritual that ends with a great shave.

For pay-once apps, the Affinity suite is solid. It’s not cheap, but it goes on sale for half off a couple times a year. Their Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign competitors are well thought out, but there is a definite learning curve coming from Adobe. Luckily, they have a series of educational videos to get you going.

Seriously! If I worked the same way these idiots do, my entire organization would grind to a halt.

…oooohhhhhhhhhh

With him? Probably never has.

Plus, Bandcamp will also recommend new music and related artists. The recommended artists at the bottom of a band/artists’s page are listed by the artist themselves, so you can pursue music that inspired the music you like.

I started with stick comics. XKCD still draws stick comics. If the story is compelling, people can get invested in your creation. If you want to do action sequences, etc. do 'em with a sense of humour (and stick people) and the right audience will be on board.

In print, you can use all-caps to produce a large, attention-grabbimg headline and reduce the leading (line space) without worrying about font ascenders or descenders interfering.

Online, it’s just shouting.

Democrats have zero passion. They always stuck with status quo, so the only reason to vote for them is because they’re still susceptible to shame and are willing to eat their own to keep a veneer of respectability. Remember in the US there’s a far-right party and a center-right party. The US is dying a very slow, painful death while its population bickers about beer and Barbie.

The disturbingly culty “pledge of allegiance” started as a cynical ad campaign designed to sell flags to schools. It’s one of the most American things I’ve heard.

I’m immediately discarding any claims Sept 11 “was an inside job.”

A “celebration of community” would have lyrics about helping each other, attending local events and supporting local businesses. It would reference knowing people’s names, watching families grow up together, pitching in to help neighbours and being able to relax & feel content.

It shouldn’t contain combative themes, othering, divisive language and threats of violence.
