Best book of 2026 & 1944. Go get it!
Had someone pick this up from my shop today. As a reminder apropos of *gestures* I turned the 1944 Simple Sabotage Manual the U.S. provided operatives in occupied Europe to help citizenry resist fascism and made it into a easy (duplex) print zine. Its Free.

I think this week is a good week to stop doom scrolling.

Bad people are very loud at the moment and I am not sure if the people who could do anything about it are
1) quiet because they are not doing anything or
2) because they do not want to give the bad people any information.

Funniest thing I've seen this month: The pope receives a Cubs jersey from a church head from Chicago.

The pope being an American, already had a favorite baseball team, namely the White Socks, and you can see it on his face.

THIS IS FROM THE GAME I'M WORKING ON! IT'S AWESOME!

ONCE THE FULL GAME IS OUT, CHECK THE CREDITS FOR LARRY'S VOICE ACTOR! I THINK HE DID A GREAT JOB!
Time to meet CLAWPUNK’s purrfectly chaotic cat, Larry! 💥 He claims to be the meow-yor of a town that doesn’t exist.

The only thing in life which brings Larry joy is the pogo stick he received as a kitten. 🐾 bit.ly/46OIoA4

If social media only breeds engagement through anger, let me channel my current frustration:

UNITY CANVAS MOUSE OVER UI ELEMENT DETECTION!

WHY?! IS?! THIS?! SO?! UTTERLY?! BADLY?! DESIGNED?!

Please be civil in the replies. Also, @unity.com, get your inputs in order.

Anyone need a me? I think it's time for a change. I direct, art direct, character design, can compose and write songs about most things and can script as well.
Oh and I'm pretty good with after effects.
