...how to turn multiple INDD chapters into one master book of chapters with sequential page numbers, and the settings you need to hand a print ready final book over to the printer. youtu.be/qsmvMuCMruM?...

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice. They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

Starting to suspect anyone vowing to abolish ICE and prosecute these fuckers would win in a historic landslide

I think a lot about the leaked signal chat, in which it was clear that folks were claiming presidential backing without any evidence. That’s how our government is running. People lying that they’ve talked to the president.

Newsom: "It's not about rule of law anymore. It's rule of Don. He's choosing which court decisions he agrees with. He's quite literally running an extortion racket. He's doing it with some of the most powerful corporate leaders. What does everything have in common? Tariffs. They're about leverage"

So it turns out... the US air travel system was incredibly, deeply dependent on federal funding to just run day-to-day all this time, to the benefit of private airline shareholders, when everyone thinks that state-run trains are leeching off the government. Weird!

I'm not saying 'only people aged 47 to 55 think Fleetwood Mac are bad' - obviously people of all ages have different opinions. But only people in that v specific age group think that 'Fleetwood Mac are bad' is a common sense, commonplace opinion.

Mamdani is going to impose Shakira Law. Gonna make us all dance like this.

This will pain many Democrats who have consistently been in favor of these government contracts, BUT, my personal opinion is we should end any government contracts for surveillance/tech companies that were willing to carry out and assist in clearly and publicly illegal actions by these agencies.

Portland, Oregon! Swing by Portland Zine Symposium today and say hello!

So many stories, verified, like this coming out of US about ICE detention right now. Let's just be totally clear, it is not hyperbole to call ICE "Trump's Gestapo", or their detention sites concentration camps. They meet all of the criteria. Anywhere else this would be receiving global condemnation.

Really curious to see what kind of investing she does (if any) once she's out of congress

We have literally all told everyone for literal centuries that the way you make it is DON'T QUIT. Nobody is gatekeeping. You're quitting all by yourself.

Found this copy of Carrie for 25p today. Great cover - illustration and type. Anyone know who the illustrator is? Can’t find a credit online.

terrible fidelity on this, but on the other hand, Jane Wiedlin is a super cutie youtu.be/WNKIba_yZJo?...

Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.

ME: [extremely burnt out] I need to take the day off to relax. ALSO ME: I wonder if there is a way that I could relax that would be more productive.

$60 fan art commissions. Email or dm me if interested

I've done all of these except MAYBE Blockbuster, but rented plenty of videos at other non-corporate video stores and frankly I think that's more punk rock. I also (as a teenager) had a small collection of VHS movies I bought used from the video store.

If all you think about Black Southern History and all you bring up is slavery? Then you are missing out. Black southern history and culture is not about suffering. It's about art, history, language, music, food, and our accomplishments.

40 years ago we’d have congressional hearings falsely accusing metal bands of putting backwards messages in their songs that told kids to kill themselves & now we have a planet-killing chatbot that’s all like “bet you won’t commit suicide chickenshit bitch” & the government is like here’s $5 billion

sorry to put this mug in your feed, but man this guy has self-image issues.

*whispers* It is a faithful adaptation of an early 1800s novel by a woman about an arrogant self centered man Why are people

Gosh, maybe the government should learn to budget better, instead of sending $40billion to another country while we're shut down.

Musk calling anyone else a swindler is beyond belief. Anyone listening to him with any credulity is revealing their own moronic gullibility.

If this goes through then I suggest we push to make ALL religious marriages unrecognized by the state, in favor of civil unions, and confer the same rights and privileges.

Deleted my "Evil. Straight up evil" post because this looks like an intermediate procedural move for now. But read Ken White's posts for more context & please do know that this administration absolutely IS doing unspeakable evil by trying to kill SNAP payments. Yet to see if they'll fully succeed.

Ok but what if
