You people want Muslims to vote for Peter Obi but you’re fuming that two Muslims were elected out of the literal hundreds of people who were voted into positions of power. Practically saying that Muslims have every right to reject Obi for not sharing their faith. Dumb ass. 😭

Fun Fact - I was challenged to draw three circles made from one, non-intersecting line. I made 2 obvious but the 3rd one is a little difficult. Interested if you can find it. #art #singlelineart #tfoust

Fun Fact - I know my drawing below does not look that crazy, but it was by far the most technically difficult drawing I have completed. This is one non-intersecting line. I drew it with a pen. I wanted to share it. #singlelineart #loop

Wanna know who showed compassion and didn’t victim-blame?!
kind of surprised by the number of people who didn’t know that a huge portion of hollywood either sided with chris brown or coddled him. rihanna was being attacked from every side. people love to say that moment ruined his career, but most of his success came after that.

My personal scholarship advice as someone who applied for scholarships and secured multiple offers, including 4 fully funded scholarships, on my THIRD ATTEMPT! Let me share some things I learnt from the process. Some of these might sound funny, but hear me out. A thread🧵
This time last year, I resigned from my stressful 9-5 job to lock in for 2 months and pursue international opportunities. Today, I’m at the University of Sheffield on a fully funded Erasmus scholarship, with 4 funded offers from top UK universities. Betting on myself paid off.

i love watching people become more of who they already are. the friend who starts dressing differently. the quiet person who discovers their voice. the artist who stops asking permission. there's something sacred about witnessing somebody become less afraid of their own life.

> get no work done lmao, Imagine being so fucking brain dead and so reliant on AI that when you can't use it you turn into a fucking intellectually lobotomised turnip, incapable of independent thought.
Throw another $ 100 at Anthropic, or get no work done the next two days?

Honestly, there's already a lot of economic uncertainty in game dev already, and suddenly a magic "I can do your job" machine shows up. A lot of the game devs I know personally who have "gotten mad" at AI are worried about how they're going to pay their mortgages. I know people who have been out of work since last year, people whose contract backlogs are empty, people who see their companies halting hiring, people who are afraid they'll have to lay off their junior staff to stay competitive, and some new Uber drivers. I don't know any of these supposedly "mad" devs who are angry that you can make a game now. But I do know a lot who have kids, families, obligations, and specialties whose futures look uncertain. I'm struggling to believe anybody doesn't get that.
Game devs, instead of getting mad that AI can do things you spent years learning, imagine what you could build with all that experience AND AI. We have the opportunity to make games that were never possible before. Why aren't we more excited about that?
