Got a package this week with some prints for Mexico orders from @scumsuck :3 thank you always for helping me print my work, it feels extra special that your hands have touched the goods hehe
Package also included some gifts yay 💖 Pictured here are a pair of new pins now on my favorite pencil bag (pencil bag by @deflectric cough cough) and two beautiful illustrations by Purikura 🥺🫶❤️❤️❤️ I love finding connections in this small big world and giving and sharing art, it heals my soul. They're now living on my wall next to a lot of art by other people hehehe.
New, by me: Google refused to say if it received a secret UK court order, like Apple did, demanding the company build a backdoor for accessing encrypted user data.
Meta said it hasn't received one. Apple said it's barred from disclosing if it had one (it has!).
Google tried to dodge the question, and refused to explicitly state if it had not received a UK backdoor demand.

Google won't say if UK secretly demanded a backdoor for user data
Basically two choices:
1) Of course we didn't!
2) We won't say.
It's sort of like, "Have you two been to bed together?"
1) Of course not.
2) We won't say.

Dru Smith is not eligible to sign a two-way contract with the Heat because he’s been on a two-way with the team in three different seasons.
Smith could still return to Miami on a standard deal, but that would mean the Heat would eventually have to shed even more payroll. rawchili.com/4430114/ #basketball #Florida #heat #Miami #MiamiHeat #NationalBasketballAssociation #NBA #NBAEasternConference #NBAEasternConferenceSoutheastDivision
