A photo of an open sketchbook, placed on a wooden desk and surrounded by branches, hag stones, palo santo, and leaves for decoration. The left side of the sketchbook spread shows two gouache paintings, the top (and larger) one featuring a misty conifer forest with mossy ground and bright white back lighting. The bottom one shows pale blue light filtering through a dark conifer forest. The right side also features two gouache paintings; the top one of a very misty, monochrome conifer forest, and the bottom one of a dark conifer forest with mossy ground and pale sunlight coming in from the left.

One interesting thing for gamers is there Proton-CachyOS, their own version of Valve's Proton to run Windows games on Linux that has various extras applied to it.

A social media post by user ThePrimagen reads, "we are so back". Following the text is a screenshot from the vibecoding subreddit titled, "What's the point of vibe coding if I still have to pay a dev to fix it?". Th post body reads: what's the point of vibe coding if at the end of the day I still gotta pay a dev to look at the code anyway. sure it feels kinda cool while I'm typing, like i'm in some flow state or whatever, but when stuff breaks it's just dead weight. i cant vibe my way through debugging, i cant ship anything that actually matters, and then i'm back to square one pulling out my wallet for someone who actually knows what they're doing makes me think vibe coding is just roleplay for guys who want to feel like hackers without doing the hard part. am i missing something here or is it really just useless once you step outside the fantasy

A scene of destruction; a city's downtown lays in smouldering ruin, skyscrapers crumbling, fires creating toxic smoke. A colossal mechanical robin stands in the middle of this mayhem. The machine leans forward with a hydraulic "VVVVRT" and exhaust shoots out of its neck with a "PSSHHT!". In the interior of this horrible mechanism we see a robin in the command centre, pausing and looking away from its module. Two more robins wait in pregnant pause, all wearing headsets. There is a poster hung that reads "WORK SAFELY" and features a bird wearing a hardhat. Another begins "you don't have to be CRAZY to work here but..." and is cut off by the frame of the image. We see the captain of the vessel, in a captain's hat, pause before commanding "Full power to thrusters". In the final panel, the mecharobin is blasting forward with immense jet engines that have emerged out of each side of the machine. Entire buildings are blown apart in its wake. The target of this war machine is a giant earth worm which is laying waste to the city in the foreground. It seems surprised at this maneuver of the robins.

pretty sure the right believe the strong survive and the weak perish, and the CDC has unnaturally protected the weak (left). They see others dying as a restorative process for the natural order. I think you're not really engaging with what the right will readily tell you.
