In an age where information spreads quickly, what's needed in times of disaster or emergency is not the ability to spread information, but the ability to discern it.
Bluesky will be holding a 3-day action, "Training to Obtain Reliable Information," from Sunday, March 8th to Tuesday, March 10th.

Channel Chasing 9000 by Zach-Kolman, Metroixer Watch TV. LOTS of TV. Cure boredom.

Just a massively chunky and hideous one button game I made with @metroixer.bsky.social in 2 days for the @indiecitygames.org BadJam. It’s awful, don’t play it (or do, I’m not the boss of you)
