@lisyarus looks super fun!

@twoframesperminute I mean, bundling apps with OS is a stupid choice too

@temochka You are probably right. Just to show what mode is: you switch between them in the same document, which is weird because it basically gives you 3 new tools and the rest of the toolbar stays the same

@swannodette @jack what do you mean by disease?

@volpeon 💯

This teaser has everything I could’ve possibly wanted from an Alien show. I’m already happy

I made a better `ls` https://github.com/tonsky/expls

“Are we entering an age of prudery? I’m interested in the way that wellness is taking over our lives, and yet sex seems to be taking a backseat.”

“They obviously were able to make films before; all the extra stuff that sort of clouds our vision nowadays. They were able to be creative and immersed, and not have to be so self-aware, which is something I crave.”

This suddenly went way deeper than these things usually go

@lisyarus it was not very well drawn
