Got laid off yesterday along with about 15 other people from our office. The 4 other offices will also have layoffs.
I do have about 8 months of full pay, so quite the runway to find out what I will do next.
Also fuck the AI bubble and the consequences it has on all of us.
- fuck.. sorry to hear man.dee-dubs
- Sorry to hear. What was the reason, not AI or did it have an effect on your positions?NBQ00
- a different company needed to cut costs due to over-investment in AI, that affected us and trickled downNutter
- Sorry <3PonyBoy
- 8 months of full pay and you don't have to work?bainbridge
- Sorry man. Where are you at and what are your specialties? I have seen an uptick in hiring so things aren't so bleakBonSeff

- Same happened to me a few months back. I feel for yah.ayport
- Well that blows ass, you'll be just fine Nutter. As one door slams closed, a another door opens...keep your head high.utopian
- So sorrry to hear. Been there, but 20 months later and I’m feeling like it was maybe a good thing. Take time, and 8 months is insanely good.monospaced
- Open up a high yield savings account, plop the severance in there, and start budgeting. Network like a mofo.monospaced
- I know nothing about your org, but one round of layoffs usually means more are coming.monospaced

Unfortunately, this didn't turn into a paid assignment. Because of the tight deadline I had already done the illustration and die-cut sketch, but the additional requirements were too complex to deliver the print run in Paris within two weeks. Better next time!

Elon Musk
Elon Musk is being confronted about how his DOGE cuts made to USAID are potentially a death sentence for an estimated 4.5 million children around the world.
I hope he does go on a reporting trip to see the damage he has wrought, I'm sure plenty of angry parents would love to get their hands on him.

Proper techno
https://bassagendarecordings.ban…
Next up, doing techno remixes. Seems to be my way of doing things... make a thematic subversive electro track and then flip it to 4/4 for the remixes... talking to Plural, Thomas Barnett and Reosc for remixing this, maybe one more Detroiter. Then put it out on my own digital label.
Electro is not at the center of my heart, but it's a perfect format for the lyrics I've been writing. Thus, techno remixes.
Dave liked it so that made my year....
- Nice...this sounds very much like something Dave Clarke would play. Congrats!yuekit
- dope. personally digging the Private Tyranny track.Squiddy

Paul Simon was an absolute joy to see... the dear man is 84, arthritic, and struggles to strum and sing his lovely songs, but he’s backed by a wonderful group of musicians who support him every step of the way... his unending desire to share with the audience what he created over the past 60+ years was quite clear (along with unforgettable moments with his lovely wife, Edie Brickell)... that show will stick with me forever... I never thought I’d tear up at a concert like that. ❤️

Pride Month
We skipped Pride again this year, left the city entirely in fact. I feel a twinge of guilt, then remember how tacky and overpriced so much of it has become, how reliant it is on fair-weather corporations, and how little of it is even for gays now.
And it never needed to be a month long.
- What are your thoughts on the evolution of the pride flag? I hate it. I went on quite a drunken rant about it last w'end. The original worked so well.Nairn
- It's not an evolution, it's a hostile takeover that began the moment American gays could marryi_monk
- And it's hideousi_monk
- Very little is for gays now? Because being homosexual is simply too basic now?jagara
