Court holds Google liable for false claims in AI Overviews. Seems significant. "A regular search engine just points to outside websites. But AI overviews generate 'independent, new, and substantive statements' by evaluating and combining content from various third-party sites" the-decoder

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

1/3 of the game industry has lost their job in the last two years. Ubisoft closed two more studios today. Everyone is out of work. To that end I'm starting a new bundle to benefit a layoffs hardship fund. Game devs: please consider submitting your PAID games to the bundle, which will launch in July.

Rich people will be like “EW, A TRAILER?” And then spend 200k on a “tiny house”

everyone who makes a little game or a little comic or a little zine or a little website is beautiful in my eyes.

if I seem militant about AI it's because a lot of my friends are writers, concept artists, QA people, etc, and they are the ones who are currently having their careers obliterated by that shit. not speculatively. happening right now. I don't see a need to be soft towards ppl who shrug at that

I *really* hope this works

They're calling it the Trump Curse folks and people are saying it brings blight to the land. "Blight," that old fashioned word you don't hear much any more.

Whenever anyone tries to excuse this as cluelessness, I ask whether the man does it to other men. Wouldn't ya know it, they never do.

cooking sim entitled warhammer 40k: spice marine

Yet another essential science program shuttered by the Trump admin for no fucking reason in a decision that will take decades to recover from. This bull in a china shop approach is so disgusting.

CASTING CALL (PAID, 1F) Deadline: June 27th, 11:59 PM EST Payment: $3.5 per line Looking for a Black VA to voice the protagonist of my horror "romance" visual novel, A Little Inconvenience! All details are included in Google Doc. Reach out if you have questions! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

To add on another scheme they're pushing is upping landvalue and taxes to try to make it so ppl who own homes cant afford it anymore. It's happening across states. This class war. The wealthy don't want anyone to own any "property".

Ppl really want to keep forcing this "just move" convo rather than addressing political and real estate corruption. Ppl getting displaced all over and more ecocide being committed. At some point folks will have to face they can't keep forcing ppl to leave and run away.

Currently just over 2k signatures. We need 10k for a government response. If you are in the UK please consider signing this petition.

A big part of attaining power, influence, and money in America is pulling up the ladder behind you and acting like you accomplished it all by yourself if anyone complains.

Astronaut Stanley Love went viral during the Artemis II mission when not-so-subtle anime references were spotted in Mission Control. Erica Friedman talks to Dr. Love about his fandom, magical girls, and more.

i would watch the hell out of this

I mean no disrespect but I can't believe we're still pretending "corporations never cared about Pride" is an interesting thing to say. even during peak corp Pride I think you had to be exceptionally dim to not get what was going on lol like yeah I think I know Chipotle would kill me for a nickel

so many artists are like this and it is NOT CUTE it is time for you to FAKE BEING COOL AND POPULAR until you ARE COOL AND POPULAR

Your timbers, motherfucker, do you even shiver them?

what I always find tedious about “who belongs at pride” discourse is that I’ve Been to multiple pride parades in multiple towns and cities as multiple apparent genders and levels of “out.” you guys know they ARE just parades/block parties, right? anybody can be there.

Persepolis is among my favorite graphic novels, and I've been thinking about this quote a lot these days for obvious reasons. So sad to hear about Satrapi's passing.

To our dismay, the artist and author Marjane Satrapi has passed away. As she wrote, ordinary Americans and Iranians have more in common with each other than we do with either of our governments, which have far too much in common with each other. We honor her memory and oppose the war.

The fact that people discussing games should/could be catering to older generations only through the lens of accessibility is a big fucking tell that people in the industry generally just don’t think of older generations as players that should be catered to. What about tone, style, type, themes?

My crankiest old man take is that referring to all art/entertainment/journalism/criticism/comedy/advertising as “content” helped pave the way for broad-ish acceptance of AI slop.

You know what's beautiful about communities? People supporting other people. Artists uplifting other artists, queers encouraging other queers, disabled people lending disabled people a hand, and so on. You can't thrive in a community if you're unwilling to support the same people that support you.

It is not just that fascists lie; fascism is an ideology that embraces lying as a virtue, in part because it allows fascists to lie to themselves about what motivates them

annual reminder #pride

Between this and last week, great time to be reminded that even fellow creatives often think visual artists are the lowest of the low in terms of humanity and skill.

The GOP, y'all. An actual tweet from an elected official in the nation's highest legislative body.

Funny how the recent rise in political violence by young men with mental health issues and easy access to guns is being blamed on rhetoric, rather than the lack of mental health services available to anyone and the lax laws that make guns so easy to get.

It's like the studies where they found the men attacking women players in mass online games were not the men good at the games - status - but the ones who weren't good at the games & blamed women for that, saw them as a threat & harassing them as a way to be powerful & gain back status.

It's not just identity, but status. They view TNBI folk as threatening their status, often for religious reasons. Attacking trans folk is defending their status & makes them powerful & special. But getting a hobby they enjoy & maybe are good at lets them have status as good people doing something.

it is in absolutely everybody’s best interests to develop some hobbies aside from Phone

I’ve written to my Labour MP every week since April 2025 asking to meet him about their bathroom ban and segregation rules and I just now got a boilerplate reply that didn’t address anything I said. Feeling very Normal about this👌

Happy Pride month, from VGAPride and my 60mhz Pentium running MS-DOS.

happy pride, shoutout as always to the 1978 gilbert baker pride flag which had pink and turquoise stripes for SEX AND MAGIC AND ART, and in this house we support gay sex and gay magic and gay art

Are we finally ready to talk about how terfs have been helping the far right destroy women’s rights by pushing hyper femininity yet or is it too early for this decades old information too.

The main thing to be on the lookout for this year is going to be a.i. generated Pride merch, flags, crowd funded projects, etc. Same with capitalism, the folks who see a.i. as an "easy button" to make money are going to flood etsy and similar. (Like that abomination of a Juneteenth flag earlier.)
