I'm glad I didn't see this until after my class today. I would't have been able to teach.
@mattblaze :-( *hug*

@jbaggs Exactly. The horror is in how *routine* it all looked.
The especially strange banal part of it for me was seeing how the shooter was holding up a cell phone (filming, I assume) in one hand while drawing the gun with the other.
I've seen so many people with that same kind of "split attention" - staring at their phone while walking, opening a door, or doing something else. Only difference is this guy was murdering someone while also on his phone.

The highest levels of the federal government have made clear that they regard Americans who engage in protest and dissent as a national enemy. It is unsurprising that their troops on the ground treat them accordingly.
Kent State showed us that this is what happens.
@mattblaze Can Americans all please become comfortable with living life differently than how we used to....give a good hard look at the people that you are surrounded by and question their motives and ideals. Draw lines, insist on the the better life that all people deserve. Evidence is more clear every day of the people that are not the good guys. Don't recoil, stand firm. Fight.

The challenge now is to funnel this into something more productive than despair.
@mattblaze how are you doing that? Beyond protests and calling my reps, I’m having a hard time because I feel like I don’t know what to do that would be more productive than despair. Maybe small acts of resistance ARE enough if they add up with everyone else?

La gloriosa battaglia dell’alto piano della Bainsizza!!! 40.000 morti e 200.000 feriti dispersi prigionieri per una avanzata di 10 chilometri senza nessun obiettivo strategico conquistato

Bainsizza sa di Trieste o limitrofi, o sbaglio? 🤔

@shoofle "alpha mask" is probably the term you are looking for. this would be for opaque cutouts eg leaves.
however, you will have to remember to use a premultiplied alpha blending equation and make sure your textures have the alpha channel already premultiplied or you'll get weird artifacts https://www.realtimerendering.com/blog/gpus-prefer-premultiplication/
