Forces of capitalism, these are the Canaries in your coal mine.

Pay attention to them.

Might be important.

Just might be.

Screenshot of an article quote, "My big question for him was why are all superheroes orphans. You know, Spider-Man, Superman, Harry Potter… they’re all orphans! And he sat and thought about it, he’s like, ‘I don’t know!’ ‘Well why did you make Peter Parker an orphan?’ And he said, ‘I didn’t think about it much. I just wanted to get him out of the house!’

Skinscribing on Steam SKINSCRIBING is a 2D hand-drawn and dual-handed cosmic folk horror game wherein you explore environments, grief, and bodies alike to interpret and tattoo the history of a dying world as the foundation...

so, I kept waiting for a "quiet" day to post about it, but considering *everything* I'm realizing that day isn't coming so I might as well just start talking

Some friends and I, including @slothysunday.bsky.social and @valkwise.bsky.social, are making a game.

BREAKING: Trump regime bans green-card holders from getting Small Business Administration loans. Any small biz even partly owned by a green card holder is no longer eligible for SBA loans.

Half of Fortune 500 companies were started by immigrants or their children. This will destroy the US economy.

For eternity I will think about the fact that Michael B. Jordan had to impeccably play TWO people to finally win an Oscar. Truly the analogy for the struggle of Black talent. Always doing two times the work to be given crumbs until the establishment is pressured enough to give us what we deserve. 😒

Square Enix Announces Western Layoffs, Wants 70% of QA Work Done By AI By 2027 | MMORPG.com Square Enix is laying off more than 100 people in the UK and an unknown number in the US, as new financial report reveals goal to automate more than 2/3 of QA and debugging work via AI.

If you were truly surprised by Square Enix making this "huge shift" to GenAI, remember that their president wanted to go full ham on NFTs previously as well, and this GenAI addition is not a surprise at all and has been coming for months.

People get really lazy in their treatment of Octavia Butler's work. The point wasn't for everyone to crown her some seer and wish she was still here to tell us what's coming next. She gave the instructions in her writing because she followed patterns and history. We can all do that.

Here she is! The PW announcement is live so I’m happy to share my sophomore graphic novel!

I love this story so much and I can’t wait to share it. It’s about my love of polar travel but I’m also exploring superstition, work culture, truth and memory.
