A tweet from Trump that reads “All Federal Funding will STOP for any College, School, or University that allows illegal protests. Agitators will be imprisoned/or permanently sent back to the country from which they came. American students will be permanently expelled or, depending on on the crime, arrested. NO MASKS! Thank you for your attention to this matter”

Random thought that just occurred to me.
"Number of games released on Steam worldwide from 2004 to 2024" chart, with a steep increase around 2014 coinciding with the release of ImGui.

Well this is quite an opener
NINETY-TWO YEARS AGO THIS MONTH, on Monday morning, January 30, 1933, Adolf Hitler was appointed the 15th chancellor of the Weimar Republic. In one of the most astonishing political transformations in the history of democracy, Hitler set about destroying a constitutional republic through constitutional means. What follows is a step-by-step account of how Hitler systematically disabled and then dismantled his country's democratic structures and processes in less than two months' time_ specifically, one month, three weeks, two days, eight hours, and 40 minutes. The minutes, as we will see, mattered.

My new Emotion Mixer is doing great out in the wild, and I can’t wait to hear back how people make use of it. It’s designed as a tool to bring emotional richness to your creations, for example by creating an emotion palette to amplify and aestheticize the emotional experience. More: emotionmixer.com
