Scientists have just cured pancreatic cancer in some patients with personalized mRNA vaccines. Pancreatic cancer. And this Trump administration wants to throw it all away.
They’re throwing away a cure for cancer.
This is a cartogram map of the United States depicting land use by different categories. The map distorts state shapes to represent proportional land usage. Key land use types include cow pasture/range (covering much of the central U.S.), private and federal timberland in the Pacific Northwest, corporate timberland in the Southeast, and urban housing/commercial areas in the Northeast. Other categories include agriculture (livestock feed, wheat exports, ethanol/biodiesel, cotton), protected lands (national parks, federal wilderness, state parks), and infrastructure (railroads, airports, highways). Additional specialized land uses include wildfires, golf courses, Christmas tree farms, and maple syrup production.
I think about this map a lot.

The only better experience than building mine was taking my daughters to build theirs. Worth every penny. Do it.
Fred Armisen meme. First panel he says Make a bad game? Fired. Second panel says Make a good game? Fired. Last panel says Make an incredibly successful game? Believe it or not, also fired.
Someone shared meme with me on discord this morning
the only way forward for video games is self-published games made by properly-organised studios
corporate ownership will fire all of you in the end.
My wife was laid off today by EA. She’s an awesome video game producer with more than two decades of experience. If anyone is in need or knows of anyone in need of a producer please DM me. Greatly appreciate any leads.
“- the number of post-period spaces”
That one’s borderline ;) Agreed on the rest

Great tips. We did the stencils on our daughters Miranda cosplay after it was all sewn and with a home made stencil. Both things that made it harder that you call out how to fix here.
Jerry Lawson, the inventor of the video game cartridge.
This is Jerry Lawson. He invented the video game cartridge for the Fairchild Channel F system. Because of his invention, many consoles had cartridges and CD formats and would become the norm.
The Atari 2600, NES, Genesis, and many consoles wouldn't exist without him.
Happy Black History Month.

Every disaster movie starts with scientists being ignored. Good thing we’re not doing that.
If you see this, post a GIF of your favourite Disney animated film.
I want to wish people good luck and happiness and prosperity with the lunar new year but with all the layoffs in this industry what would that even look like. So all I wish is that you be kind to yourselves. It's rough out there. 🧧❤️
Hello! I’m looking for work, ideally in an editor role. It’s been an honor to work with so many talented professionals, and a pleasure to meet so many amazing community members, in my 19 years at BioWare. I’m so grateful to all of you.
I'm now looking for a new writing/narrative position. It's been a privilege to work with so many amazing devs over my 20 years at BioWare, and I will cherish the memories of the wonderful folks in the community I've met along the way. Thank you all.
We’re back to:
* posting about video games
* realizing that I’m posting about something as trivial as video games as the world explodes and feeling bad
* posting about the world exploding
* realizing that my timeline is nothing but panic & suffering and feeling bad
* posting about video games
When you steal and try to eat a chapstick so your furry sister gets to take your human sister to the bus stop instead of you.
The amount of black tape and random things blocking LED lights I can’t turn off in my bedroom.
Punch up sparingly and tactically. Never punch down. Lift up every chance you get.
Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally?
🤣🤣🤣🤣 I can’t take credit for this creativity. I saw someone else do it and I thought it was so brilliant that I had to copy.
Important to remember the sentence just before this and the reason for the despair and need to decide: “Always after a defeat and a respite, the Shadow takes another shape and grows again.”
Got all that stuff fixed and working great for 2
From a player’s perspective: full level and boss fight on a fast moving train
From a Dev’s perspective: couldn’t get all the physics, weapon drops, ragdolls, etc to work right on a moving train. FINE! We’ll just make the entire world move fast past a stationary train!
General RAAM!!!
