In case you needed a reminder why I FUCKING hate the "reptilian/snakepeople infiltrator" trope and get real tetchy when ppl start joking about Zuckerberg, Altman, Miller, etc being lizards pretending to be human. You can just say they're shitty humans, people.

Lmao

Local plumbers two steps ahead of every university administrator in america 👏

This movie can't possibly be fifteen years old. Also, John Boyega got done so dirty by the US film industry it physically hurts.

3200 layoffs happening just this year btw

I really hope TNN can hit $7,000 before this weekend's out — we're about $500 away right now — on our fundraiser. We're trying to keep the lights on and, if things go well, start badly-needed fellowships for particularly marginalized trans journalists.

really thinking about this tweet as i’ve been struggling to breathe through nausea for the last 5 hours

once columbo is out of cooldown you are all fucked

It's not enough to be against AI, you need to be pro art. You need to be a champion of the art you love, you need to share that passion and joy, and do what you can to support the artists who make it, because it's not enough to hate AI, to hate what it's doing to art and media; you gotta love.

We're out here in the heat and rain! ✊ #SaveOurDevs

literally this meme:

@paizo.com What the hell???? Archives of Nethys is a HUGE plus for Pathfinder and Starfinder as systems, and has been for over a decade. I know things are rough after the Diamond fiasco, but this is the kind of nonsense I expect from WotC, not you.

Paizo fam, support Lynne if you haven't already! www.spotfund.com/story/51c654...

this is why "and you're surprised?" is one of the top 5 most infuriating online responses to sharing upsetting news. surprise is not the only emotion, and it's not the only factor that makes something worth drawing attention to. it's weird to pretend being blasé about horror equals moral superiority

Been a bit but this one is for the #ZOSFam

oh it's non-binary awareness week BEWARE NON-BINARY PEOPLE ARE AMONGST YOU YOU MIGHT EVEN BE ONE

Vale Sam Neill. One third of the hottest throuple ever to grace the big screen, and one of the best of us down here in the Antipodes.

We have canceled our sponsored stream with SNK. We have heard the concerns from our community regarding this partnership, specifically the company’s majority ownership by Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, and the human rights concerns tied to the Saudi government.

This is not even beginning to mention the laundry list of current and ongoing human rights abuses being committed by the Saudi government, which their deep purchases into the gaming and esports industries are broadly understood as a direct attempt to whitewash.

SNK is owned by the Saudi royal family, which is one of the major political forces in the Yemeni civil war, where Doctors Without Borders are struggling to provide healthcare to civilians. The death toll counts more than 80.000 children. Please don't take this sponsorship, GDQ.

I think I might have killed Lindsey Graham

It’s like when your food is taking a long time to come out so your server brings some free bread to apologize for the wait.

Bad week for guys named Graham

Lindsey Graham has died. He is being remembered for the way he lived . If you do not wish to be mocked when dying , do not make your dying the only way vulnerable people can find peace

Hearing that the whole German social team -- including Kai, who who organizes these Taverns -- is being laid off. Due to strong German worker protections, they'll be paid out through the end of the year, but their accounts are likely to shut down soon. If you're at the tavern, tell them THANK YOU 🫂

what ICE learned from Minneapolis was to be quieter about it. what we need to learn is to be louder

the bread is $13.50 and all the circuses are subscription based

Anyway, his family could use some help with the funeral. bsky.app/profile/core...

Every time ICE kills some, I find myself right back here. This time, it was someone about the same age as my parents, whose life was shaped a lot like theirs.

Proud to announce our HARDSHIP FUND: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun... If you've been recently laid off and need support, we got you.

no one should talk to the NYT until they retract their clearly biased and transphobic coverage of trans youth and our community.

No homo? That's cowardice. I want all the homo. And all the hetero. I want entire rural villages to be utterly confused when my best friends and I pass through.

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

Almost all senior positions... and a massacre in QA. Great formula for continuing success, right?

count the role names and quantities in this roster - roughly TEN PERCENT of this week's Xbox layoffs - and you're not going to add them up to what CEO Asha Sharma has described as "14 layers of management." the result is something data nerds might call a statistically meaningful mismatch.

UPDATE: I've obtained a WARN notice filed in Texas that reveals 136 employees have been laid off at id Software (including remote workers), with another 22 people being ousted at Bethesda Game Studios' office in Austin. The overwhelming majority of those laid off were CWA union members.

To all Bethesda and ZOS devs, current and former: thank you for everything. Thank you for your hard work and sacrifice. You constantly tell us it's the community that makes these games special (and that's true!) but we wouldn't be here without your incredible talent and endless passion. ♥️

if i was in an alien movie i'd be luring the xenomorph into a hot wok and adding chili, garlic, ginger, shaoxin wine, scallions, white pepper and sesame oil

Spent years working to get rid of my titties and once I was free of them I began my current journey of spending years in the gym working to get pecs (man titties). Gender is nonsense. Don't try to be what the world tells you to be, just be entirely yourself. It's great. Trust me.

Transition. It's great. 10/10 do recommend.

They all "had great talks," say "Mitch showed up just after midnight, wearing the chains he forged in life which he made, link by link" and that he "spoke about Iran and NATO" and also how "you will be haunted by Three Spirits, without whose visits you cannot hope to shun the path I tread."

This is a tiny thing, but it's what I've got. If you were (or are) a writer/designer/artist on Elder Scrolls, I want to make sure the community remembers your work. Comment or DM me with your contributions and I will make sure they're recorded on The Imperial Library and @uesp.net forever.
