‘When I first visited Sarawak in the 1970s, the Indigenous communities living there had virtually no money, but they lived well. Now they have money, and can barely feed themselves. They have been impoverished even as incomes rise. It is a story of brutal destitution that is completely obscured by the GDP growth statistics.’

I'm about to release a 450,000-word Jewish historical fantasy interactive fiction game. It lets you set Yiddish level, from "bring it on" to "please translate everything for me?"

Here is a picture of all the contextual synonyms for "oy" that the game employs in "translate everything" mode.

Fediverse, due to my wife's thyroid cancer returning we are relocating to Seattle (from Illinois) -- where we can receive familial support and she can get treatment.

To that end, I'm looking for #infosec jobs in the area, but I'm looking to step back from what I've been doing so I have a bit more flexibility to help her and our son. So, hybrid or even full remote, but probably not a senior level position.

I've been consulting and that's been good, but it's too unsteady and too much work on unknown schedules to continue while she is undergoing treatment. I'll also be applying through standard channels, but I hope someone here can lend a hand.

“What makes biking dangerous is all the cars. What makes the bus so slow is all the cars. What makes driving a car so slow is all the cars. What makes everything too far away to walk is all the space we have to reserve for the cars.” 🚗 🚙 🚗 🚙 #biketooter

Everything you'll ever need to forget about Street Fighter strategy:

me, making boundaries cleaner: Haha fuck yeah!!! Yes!!

me, inadvertently creating new fuzzy areas by having created new categories: Well this fucking sucks. What the fuck.

OH: Dragons Love Tacos is white people propaganda.

(This probably only make sense to parents.)

I feel like I talk about @bangbangcon all the time on here, but a friend mentioned that they didn't realize that it was actually happening this year! We're no longer using Twitter, and I think it's possible a lot of our usual audience isn't seeing our posts. (Also, the conference is at a different time of year than in the past, which might be confusing people.)

So, please help us out and boost this: Tickets for the 🚨 last ever 🚨 !!Con are available right now! https://bangbangcon.com/

An unexpected advantage of a standing desk (because I got it before having a kid) is that S can’t reach anything on it.

First past the post is the One Ring, isn't it? Everyone wants to get rid of it until they actually get hold of it!

Although I try to avoid unitaskers in the kitchen, two that are unreasonably useful are the cherry pitter and citrus squeezer.

Holy shit! Why doesn’t every screenshot app work like that?
