When I was young I watched The Dread Pirate Roberts declare "[The game] ends when we both drink and find out who is right... and who is dead."
Probably not the healthiest attitude when pushing sweeping changes into Production, but it's what I think about every time.
I've reached the point of last-minute crunch where I uncharacteristically start sending memes from 2010-2012 to my coworkers with no regard for any context they have or lack.
Happy 2026! The year may be off to a wild start, but I'm glad you're here.
As always- I hope you're doing well, I hope you're doing good, and I hope you're finding the small joys to feed you for today inspire you for tomorrow.
@PA_Megacorp The first time I was stopped by TSA for this, I suspect the agent was training/onboarding.
He went through the disclaimer before pausing and handing it off to the agent beside him- who was trying to resist laughing at the two grown men standing around awkwardly at the situation.
Even if you feel the world is burning and falling apart at the seams, there is still beauty here worth fighting for. Remember to keep searching for it and find joy in it.
Good Evening/Morning/Afternoon! Whatever the days and weeks ahead have in store, I hope you're doing well, I hope you're doing good, and I hope you're making the world a more beautiful place.
Got to see the new "Quiet Place" movie. Went in without knowing anything or seeing the others. It was a fantastic "drama movie set during alien apocalypse".
Also, as someone who reflects on feelings of "having outlived my expiration date" it resonated with me in unexpected ways.
