GNU Imp keeps the name, promotes GNU, and delivers improved brand recognition. The people that want to keep calling it Gimp can continue to do so, but it’s up to them to navigate the negative connotations. Use GNU Imp to edit sprites. Works

PE is a crude tool for crude extraction. Honestly, the last time I found myself in a TRU, I had to leave because the off gassing was overwhelming. So no, not 1991, but likely something very 2025. If they still sell sugar water and cereal bo

No skin in the game, but curious to know why any Republican would want to raise taxes. Is this some sort of power play like the tariffs? Feels like they’re ghost riding the economy for the lulz.
