Musk, you absolute dumbass... Do you have any idea how many applications, social media, marketing jobs, organizations, and other shit run off the Twitter API? If Twitter had an advertiser problem before, it's about to get much worse.
Starting February 9, we will no longer support free access to the Twitter API, both v2 and v1.1. A paid basic tier will be available instead 🧵

Not too long ago, I had an opportunity to audition for big commercial that I thought I was really well suited for and seemed to pay a lot... But it was for Harry Potter.
I didn't audition. I was not associating myself with JK Rowling.
I know voice actors who turned down multiple chances to audition for Hogwarts Legacy, because fuck JK Rowling. Respect ✊

Were you jazzed at spreading your love of Black People during Black History Month and/or featuring local Black talent?
If so, I have fantastic news!

There are gonna be TONS of API projects, old and new, that will likely be crippled by this. I can imagine this will hinder anyone's ability to aggregate tweets too.

As a Black Person who works in a Museum, that scene resonated with me a lot. The issues in the article are also VERY on point.
This is only the beginning of the conversation around Museums and how they handle people of color despite all the displays of THEIR culture.

It doesn’t help that most of the racism allegories are written by absolute cowards who often try to ’both sides’ the issue while having the dumbest and most shallow takes on racism possible in the narrative… And then just side stepping the issue once they have style points.

A former employer tried to reprimand me for doing my job after claiming they know how my job works so well, so I quit.
Week after, they ask me to write up how to do my job. I did not write shit. They didn’t understand my job at all and spent at least a year failing to replace me.

I think we're ignoring the bigger question.
If you know the trolley's coming and can control the direction, why don't you just switch the tracks and pull the ONE person out of the way?
The trolley will also slow on the turn for time. Theoretically, no one has to die if you act.

I find that 9/11 Spider-Man issue... Morbidly hilarious.
Yes 9/11 was sad and it's horrifying for street level heroes...
... But global threat supervillains being sad is funny.
Only reason Doctor Doom shed a tear is because the plane didn't hit Richards in the Baxter Builiding.

As usual, Bandai Namco saw Gundam was getting popular again, being the 10th Anniversary of the Build series, and said “we can’t have that” and self sabotaged the entire brand yet a-fucking-gain… Like clockwork.
Nothing about how they treat Gundam ever makes sense.

Pay an insurer indefinitely so that they will pay for anything bad that might happen and then when the bad things happen you can listen to their 101 reasons why your bad thing doesn't count.

Just say it's named after a Dundas person who didn't suck and move on. Renaming the street really won't fix the fact that half of Dundas is basically a poverty area. The renaming debacle is just lipservice. Use that money to actually help people along Dundas & the area around it.

Don’t slander Vendetta, it’s the best one.
For as silly as Vendetta was, it didn’t take itself so craptasically seriously and actually had personality. None of the other Resi Animations had any substance to them, including this one. Vendetta was at least memorable.

Depends on the kind of game you want to make.
For example, if you want to make a story game or visual novel, would recommend learning Twine or Ren'Py. Both are super accessible and Twine even uses webcode.
For more conventional stuff, probably Unity w/ C#, but that can be hard.
