super sad about Drew Struzan. He was excellent at capturing likeness but never made illustrations that felt stiff. He made whatever he illustrated look cooler. His use of light ❤️❤️. His collages never felt thrown together. Rest in peace. Thankyou for the inspiration. No one can touch you.

Happy Columbo’s Day
Screenshot from Columbo. He his talking to his dog, which is sitting is the drivers seat of a car. “Okay, I’m gonna put you in charge. You take care of the car. You’re a responsible dog. When I get back, if the car’s okay, I’ll give you another cookie.” “If the car’s gone,” “I’ll give you another cookie anyway” “because I love you.”

Obviously a lot of people don’t like the show or don’t think it’s good. That’s fine. But if there’s one thing I know for SURE by now, a LOT of people LOVE the show and think it’s good. Don’t let the internet tell you you are alone in liking it, you are absolutely not. 🥰💕 enjoy what you enjoy.

Stand out from competition by NOT adding AI, gain more loyal users/customers.

boost your user satisfaction and growth with this one weird trick (removing the shit everyone hates that you added for no reason)
r/SaaS u/soasme I deleted ALL AI features... and user growth went UP. Everyone's busy adding Al to everything. I did the same for indie10k.com but it didn't work. I removed all of fancy Al stuff - Al coach, Al growth ideas, Al "personalized" advice - everything. Guess what? I see more registered users and higher retention. That actually make me wonder why now i have one page with one button, without all that Al thingy, but it does better? Here's my question: Is Al feature actually helping SaaS grow?

This is "debanking", and its a problem that has plagued sex workers for decades. It isnt right when its targetting sex workers and its not right when its targetting game devs and creators either.

Give paypros and your givt reps your grievances and demand that debanking of adult content stop

Per Reddit: Steam adult developer in the UK is sitting on a USD equivalent of six figures, can’t find a bank to take his money because the developer creates adult games

www.reddit.com/r/UKPersonal...
r/UKPersonalFinance 3 hr. ago Previous-Camera1641 I develop adult video games on Steam. I can't find a bank that will actually let me withdraw my money from Steam. Can I get some advice? Game has sold quite well on Steam. I've got almost £90,000 ready to withdraw after Steam's cut + VAT taken off. However, it's been 2 months now and I can't find ANY bank in the UK who will let me withdraw my money from Steam. I've been banned/refused/unable to get a business account with: Wise Revolut Monzo Monese Chase Starling Nationwide Halifax Barclays Lloyds RBS It always comes down to, "Where did you get this money from?" "It's coming from games I sell on Steam." "Can we see the store page?" "Sure." "I'm sorry, we can't do business with you at this time." It keeps coming down to a commercial decision purely because I make adult content. What the hell am I supposed to do? I've pretty much exhausted the whole banking system. I just want to be able to be paid for products I've sold.

I truly believe a big reason why Democrats are failing to appropriately respond to the moment is a pathological refusal to admit that there were aspects of the American status quo pre trump that were extremely fucked up and unjust

Is life often terrible? Yes.
Are there still always people out there going “Let’s make a cool ass thing for other people to see?” Also yes.

We can recover but the people who lose everything including their lives from this will be the victims of Trump's hubris. He wants total power and is actively tearing apart the country to get it.
