@suhono @janellecshane now I want the Neural Net Haggadah

@nex3 oh noooooooooooo

@scruss I was labelling a map of the United States and I just wanted to select the 50 text boxes and put them in a layer group in one go :(

@pbandkate or like, "it's wrong to bully me for being gay so surely it's wrong to bully someone for being straight" without grasping the systemic nature. Of course many adults fall into this as well...

I'm mad because I checked Twitter and the overwhelmingly conservative Canadian pundit world is throwing a shit fit over a big union (that represents, among many other industries, freelancers and journalists) being on a panel to decide how to allot money to bail out Canada's overwhelmingly conservative media industry.
