Funny enough, I’ve used this handle since the late 90s on various forums - including Yahoo Games.
It’s a reference to my favorite obscure Batman villain.
Thank you for introducing me to the Ventriloquist and Scarface. Absolutely bizarre characters. I love it.
My initial reaction reading this (I had t heard the news) was disbelief. How could someone so accomplished and influential be driven to such despair over what seems to be an interpersonal workplace conflict? But the more I think about it, the more I get it. Many of us pour our identities into our work. It becomes more than a job. It’s our purpose, our sense of self. When that’s destabilized or taken away, the fallout can be devastating.
It’s a sad reminder of how vulnerable those who care deeply about their work can be in the face of toxic or unjust environments. Passion and commitment, when met with indifference or hostility, can push anyone to a breaking point.

It is amazing how well iOS supports these accessibility features but doesn't consider blocking video autoplay on websites, something that is incredibly distracting for people with ADHD.
There is a specific accessibility setting to reduce motion and prevent videos from autoplaying on iOS.
Go to Settings > Accessibility > Motion and turn on "Reduce Motion"
Not very, absolutely everyone hates doing their taxes and the whole shady process behind it all. The IRS should have to declare what they think you owe before you pay or submit any paperwork, I don't know if that'll ever happen but any baby or big steps towards that reality will win bipartisan support, easily. Just have to get past the conflicted-out members of congress who are truly being controlled by Turbo Tax and other industry lobbyists.

I like preparing and paying my taxes.

Agree.
That was fast! I missed it.
