"Birth of the Homunculus"
A sorceress astounded by her creation.
This painting has been floating around in my head for months now, and I only found the right time to bring it to fruition yesterday!

sometimes I find myself feeling that online outrage--even when it's well-warranted--is ultimately just coming from a vocal minority, a drop in the bucket, etc 😒
but I also gotta believe it'll at least make a loud enough noise for things to START changing for the better 💪

I really need people to understand that they *can* live without things like Spotify. It’s time for people to understand that voting with their wallets require actually not using a service or product.

for gamer friends: genuinely close to 100% of the time you see a typeface in a game that has support for both JP & EN/latin characters (such as Rodin or Skip), it's because of a license from fontworks. this is a monopoly being cashed out in real time, intensely fucking lame

As Stoppard wrote, and as I contemplate often: “I don't think writers are sacred, but words are. They deserve respect. If you get the right ones in the right order, you can nudge the world a little or make a poem which children will speak for you when you're dead.”

This isn't just a SEGA problem, but can we finally do away with selling a game for tiny bits and pieces and then a complete version later?
Hopefully this is a sign to just make complete games going forward for the entire industry as a whole (doubtful).

I feel like a lot of people are unaware or forgetting that they’ve done this before. SMT V was delisted and full-on replaced by SMT V: Vengeance. While one could argue Vengeance made sense as a replacement, I see no reason for SEGA to do the same for Yakuza.

BREAKING: new emails CONFIRM my reporting that there are TRAINING VIDEOS instructing FBI personnel on how to review the Epstein Files. Plus, a lot more…
The emails reveal the special training given to FBI personnel working on what it called the “Epstein Transparency Project.” In some instances they referred to it as the “Special Redaction Project.” The training entailed PowerPoint slide presentations and video instruction on how to review the files.

A thought-provoking write-up. I think it’s interesting to consider the MAHA movement and anti-vaccine rhetoric as magnifying a pre-existing communication issue. It does make me wonder about why scientific data and consensus are not enough for some people.

The CDC is Not Dead. But Its Autism Page Now Tells Us The Fight Has Changed
The CDC website language change on autism is not the agency’s death knell. Instead, it’s the starting gun of a new race that must be run differently.
