Harder to internalize, but overall healthier: accept that making good art doesn’t make anyone a good person

last RT: it's staggering to me how many people even in this line of work have IDOLS. they're just people! you don't know them! many of you are tasked with REPORTING ON THEM for your jobs! stop it!

betrayal at club low IS a cooking game, you're right Steam

my kind of cooking game

Screenshot of a section of the wikipedia page on Marcus Licinius Crassus. When he had over 500 slaves, he bought houses that had burnt and the adjacent ones "because their owners would let go at a trifling price." He bought "the largest part of Rome" in this way,[8] buying them on the cheap and rebuilding them with slave labor. The first ever Roman fire brigade was created by Crassus. Fires were almost a daily occurrence in Rome, and Crassus took advantage of the fact that Rome had no fire department, by creating his own brigade—500 men strong—which rushed to burning buildings at the first cry of alarm. Upon arriving at the scene, however, the firefighters did nothing while Crassus offered to buy the burning building from the distressed property owner, at a miserable price. If the owner agreed to sell the property, his men would put out the fire; if the owner refused, then they would simply let the structure burn to the ground. After buying many properties this way, he rebuilt them, and often leased the properties to their original owners or new tenants

I saw some mention of private fire fighter organisations working in LA now.

I really feel like Americans need to start reading the history of Late Republican Rome very soon, because....

The number of times I've had people trying to tell me about all the supposed crime in New York City, a place where neither of us live anywhere near, is frankly ridiculous. And citing actual crime statistics does nothing to get them to change their minds because it's not based on anything but vibes.

“What is happening all around us is the creation of a technical infrastructure that is directly competing with humans for basic resources like water, energy and land.”

Added a bunch more games to this list, give it a look!

Daily reminder that the underlying purpose of AI is to allow wealth to access skill while removing from the skilled the ability to access wealth.

Happy thanksgiving y'all!
In case you missed it, here is the dumbest announcement we've made about something we're so excited about clips.twitch.tv/ObliviousDis...

Print of a Frog and Toad painting by Victoria Maderna. The two characters sit on the root of a tree, Toad reads a book.

I normally don't offer prints of fanart, but this is one of my favorite paintings I've made this year, so I'm making a semi-exception for Frog and Toad.

This one will be up for a limited time, just until the end of the year:

This goes for indie music. If you listen to music by artists or bands who are independent/on small, independent labels, it’s so important that you share our stuff. We don’t got PR budget to plug our music into avenues that get in front of people. Word of mouth is powerful and necessary for indie art

People are often surprised when I tell them this: both Twitter and Facebook/insta/threads are now specifically engineered to downgrade, hide, suppress real journalism. If this platform is different, that's a huge change

I have available slots for commissions! Lemme know if you're interested!

Single-player survival horror game Sorry We're Closed out now and should work great on Steam Deck This looks awesome and quite weird, especially if you love your retro-infused games. Sorry We're Closed is the first release from à la mode games available now.
