Toddlers in Gaza have had the very idea of fruit stolen from their lives, and are now afraid of bananas. A level of trauma that’s simply unimaginable to me.
Death in Gaza isn’t limited only to drones, gunfire, artillery shelling, infectious diseases, or the grinding famine. It can come, too, from the very act of eating, after a prolonged period of starvation. Malnutrition has already claimed hundreds of lives, yet in Gaza, even food can kill.
In Gaza, We’re Struggling to Reintroduce Foods to Bodies Adjusted to Starvation
A sudden influx of nutrients after famine can cause spikes in blood glucose and fatal electrolyte imbalances.

Greetings! We're working on a brand new 'conquest royale' game with 6 teams of 2 players fighting until the last team is standing.
We are currently looking for small- to medium-sized CC to help us test the early game with their fans! 🙌

I love Intellisense in Visual Studio until it assumes too much 😂😂 Especially with the new tab down feature where it will try to blitz through your code with edits it assumes you want

Video games wield such a weird position culturally, because they can have the capacity to be just a fidget toy for the most childish people on the planet, and also have the capacity to be the most peak form of art to ever exist, if done well.

I like that the same day a guy was like “this place will never be Twitter” this thread gave us the most 2015 Twitter experience (complimentary) imaginable.
I just woke up from a nap and somehow while I was asleep, everyone on the bus has figured out we are not going to the right place

Trump and his goons are calling for congressional members to be "put to death" literally. They are invading sovereign countries. They are murdering, kidnapping and beating Americans.
They are fleecing our country. Destroying our democracy.

Mexico managing to have more spine than every western nation despite being in the immediate crosshairs, fuck every cowardly world leader that tries to play this safe
Mexico:
"The Mexican government strongly condemns and rejects the military actions carried out unilaterally in recent hours by the armed forces of the U.S. against targets in the territory of the Republic of Venezuela, in clear violation of Article 2 of the Charter of the United Nations."

I wanna try draw, write, and code more this year. My real goal is finally leaving Ohio for somewhere less atrocious, but I think it's important to have smaller goals too that are more easily actionable. Just need some small ideas to work on while writing Geilt~ HNY all! #indiedev #gamedev #newyear
