I said before that I wouldn't dignify the subject of dog whistles with my thoughts. But let me give you a primer.
In any discussion where bigots are tooting, look for oft repeated phrases. Look for different people using the same phrases to communicate.
Language changes rapidly in discourse, so normally in non dog whistly discourse, you would expect to see different parties reach common understanding without mirroring each other's words and phrases. But in the presence of bigotry and group think, people will literally echo and mirror specific phrases in the discourse.
Right now, some hot dog whistles on the Fediverse in racist bigotry are "yes this makes sense", "conservative troll", and "lies exposed" or "lies revealed". They seem innocuous but these phrases signal identity, community, and safety among the racist bigots, and help to identify their targets. They also help build momentum for dogpiling and brigading that will persist for months or years.
Keep your wits about you and try not to perpetuate or boost dog whistles.

Another beautiful scenery painting by Kazuo Oga, the detail and the sense of scale are incredible. I love how the forest is both majestic and mystic, a reminder of the power of nature.

Oga's paintings are essential to the atmosphere of Princess Mononoke (1997). They help to create a sense of wonder and magic, and they also help to tell the story of the film.

Havent done commissions in a bit, I may open a few slots to try get back to it, in the meantime here is another animation I did a while ago that I really like :p
So, big news yesterday. I'm appalled at the impact this will have on the #Unity ecosystem, and #gamedev at large. There's just no way this can lead to anything good for anyone.
#GodotEngine is getting a lot of positive attention in reaction, so I want to address a few things. 🧵
Fun fact about Microsoft #Windows: if you type Ctrl-Shift-Alt-Win-L, LinkedIn will open in your default browser. This is an OS hotkey that cannot be turned off.
I know this reads like a joke but it isn't.
