Called and spoke with Adobe customer support and the guy told me Adobe is discontinuing Animate because apparently the company can't think of any new features to add to the program and they feel it's gotten stale.
So they're just GETTING RID OF IT???

Shocked in a very happy way how freaking easy it was to deploy Astro on Netlify *with* SSR and using their blob support. Like, I kept waiting for something to not work... and it just flat out went perfect.

Help me understand something - what is the point of putting the title of your blog in your og image - when social media previews also show the title too. Do you really need it twice?

Local news agency starts a FB post all kind of boring:
"A man has been arrested for the third time on the same allegations."
with the actual link being:
"Man arrested again for seeking diaper changes"

Yep. Tubberville calling the SuperBowl halftime show "the woke bowl" is an attempt to pretend that the most popular musical artist in the world doesn't deserve the gig because he doesn't appeal to dumb, old, conservative white men.
It's equal opportunity for a deserving candidate [of color].
It's equal opportunity for a deserving candidate [of color].
As good an illustration as any that "woke" for these folks just means "non-white people are allowed to exist."
Tuberville: "Unfortunately we've got the Woke Bowl, because we're getting more and more woke. We got Bad Bunny or Bad Rabbit at halftime. I'll be watching the TPUSA halftime show. It's just unfortunate we've gotten to this point."

An adventurous dragon lives inside a black hole. She inventories her hoard, which consists of thousands of books, hundreds of eyes, and sparse processors. She feels alert.

Don't we all feel a bit mushy at times?
A fancy dragon lives in a nebula. She looks over her hoard, which consists of billions of yaks, little nails, and hundreds of golds. She feels mushy.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

First half of "Wonder Man" was really good. Much "smaller" and simpler than typical MCU content and I'm fine with that.
Also, liked the somewhat stretched connection to Cloak and Dagger who I would love to see return to the MCU.

There's one of our cats who absolutely loves me for some reason, and she accidentally got outside w/o us knowing - for 2 days. She's safe now but is spending 100% of her time near me. (And I'm fine with that.)
