This whole section really.

A lot of people are (understandably) focused on the Saudi Arabia and Kushner part of this, but the far bigger immediate impact will come from the new private EA being on the hook for $20 billion in debt. That could mean mass layoffs, more aggressive monetization, and other big cost-cutting measures

We miiiiiiight be slightly involved in this recently-announced, laughter-inducing, and (literally) Earth-shattering project! Stay tuned to hear more about it in the coming months! 🌍💥💀👀

the Command & Conquer series is 30 years old today we so have an excuse to share this iconic moment with Tim Curry

Was mich an dieser Diskussion auch maximal nervt: Diese mahnenden Einwürfe "Dumm vom ÖRR, das hilft nur der AfD". Diskutierts doch mal genau aus, was ist denn konkret passiert, wie sahen denn die Beiträge von Ruhs genau aus, kann man das etwa sogar jenseits der Afd begründen?

👌Flickshotters👌 of the world, rejoice! 😄 We've studied all angles and possible trajectories, and have done our absolute best to provide the most 💥explosive💥 translations into no less than nine languages! Defeat enemies, upgrade your skills, and get all the treasAAAARRR! 🏴‍☠️

Könnten alle bitte aufhören koordinierte, rechtsextreme Aktionen um Journalist:innen wie Dunja Hayali mundtot zu machen als „shit storm“ zu bezeichnen? Es ist wirklich höchste Zeit, dass Menschen die über Rechtsextremismus schreiben auch basale Dinge über Rechtsextremismus verstehen und benennen.

You ever tried to explain to a cis friend how the new harry potter tv show and audiobooks are directly funding the eradication of your human rights and trying not to sound like a mad conspiracy theorist

„AfD legt zu, Grüne verlieren" Heißt es in den Medien. Die Journalisten fragen Grüne, ob sie jetzt auch mehr Abschiebungen fordern werden. Aber auch richtig ist: „AfD verliert im Vergleich zur BTW, Grüne zweitbestes Ergebnis in NRW“ Framing in den Medien macht den Rechtsruck.

If I were editing a column about Charlie Kirk’s political genius, I would tell the writer he needed to quote Kirk’s actual political beliefs. If the writer responded that doing so would weaken or distract from his argument, it’d be a pretty good sign that the column was not ready for prime time.

Ich biete gerne allen Redaktionen ein Online-Theorie-Seminar an, wo wir klären was „konservativ“ „rechtsextrem“ „rechtspopulistisch“ und „faschistisch“ im Jahr 2025 bedeuten und wann man wie diese Begriffe korrekt einsetzt. Das ist ja nicht zum Aushalten. Es dient niemandem das synonym zu verwenden.

Ich weiss nicht, es gibt 15+ jahre forschung zu gender und rechtspopulismus, und viel mehr zu macht und männlichkeit, aber man schreibt hier einfach mal "junge männer sind demokratisch nicht repräsentiert"? Genau das argumentieren Krah et al seit jahrzehnten

Söder sagt: Deutschland muss fickbar bleiben. Ich sage: da muss noch viel mehr Wurst rein in den Söder, Wurst, Wurst, Wurst, bis der ganze Söder nur noch aus Wurstbrät besteht.

Auf dem Weg in die Arbeit bin ich einem kleinen Kind begegnet. Es hatte einen Tannenzapfen in den Händen, den es mir zeigen wollte. Ich fragte: „Magst du den Herbst?“ Da sagte es: „Die quälende Zeit des Schwitzdiktats wird endlich von den erfrischenden Winden des Herbstes zerschlagen.“

die wahl zum vogel des jahres ist neben tier des jahres (haselmaus never forget) die wichtigste in deutschland. deshalb ist es wichtig sich zu informieren, ich hab euch das hier mal zusammengefasst.

Possible causes of your problems. It’s a diagram that (sadly) still seems relevant in 2025, so reposting a year and a bit on.

My toddler must’ve turned on speech to text, but honestly a lot of posters do need to hear this.

Since 2023, translators and interpreters have seen work dry up, rates plummet and their jobs reduced to editing AI-generated output. Some are leaving the field, others are considering bankruptcy. All despite any major upgrade in translation quality. This is how AI is killing translation work:

ironically, interpreting this text in the manner quoted—by parsing the final paragraph literally, without incorporating context clues from the remainder of the text or from prior knowledge of the landscape, and without any allowance for the writer's intent or audience—is how AI "reads."

This is a pretty good bit

ok so this is a funny stat but I read the article and then dug into the source and I think you all should be aware it's marketing for agentic AI here's NANDA's tagline: "Be at the forefront of creating the internet of AI Agents. Get exposure and faster adoption for your AI products and tools."

And while we’re at it: I’m thrilled to announce that I’m the German translator of this game, just revealed during Opening Night Live at gamescom! 🥰

If you've been wondering what purgatory looks like, but are too lazy to sin, Ron Gilbert has the solution for you! AND I can tell you now that you will be able to play Death By Scrolling in Polish - have fun! 💀☠️

Boycotting writers is unacceptable, an outrageous attack on free thought and free expression. *presses finger to ear* Sally Rooney, you say? *shuffles papers* Ban this sick filth.

If the games you've been working on for years have switched to MTPE or some other bullshit the higher-ups tell you, now's the time to speak up. Not only are they killing jobs across our field, they're killing culture and in some fields it could potentially hurt people.

I'm preparing to publish the next installment of AI Killed My Job. This time, the focus will be on translators. If you or someone you know has had a translation job (including translator, interpreter, game localizer, etc) impacted by AI, and you'd like to share, please do: [email protected]

Everyone seems pretty ffing cranky today. Understandable. Highly relatable. Anyway. Here. Please share and enjoy this rendition of pink pony club I’ve been trilling along to for most of the morning. youtu.be/buloZ2yoaGQ?...

Clean up your links before you share them with others. It's a small and simple piece of operational security that anyone can integrate into their practice.

Angesichts der krassen Zensur durch die US-Regierung und Trump ganz persönlich - siehe Museen -, MUSS sich doch unser Diskurs über Gefährdungen von Kunst-, Meinungs- & Wissenschaftsfreiheit endlich ändern & von der Fixierung auf „Cancel Culture quasi Zensur“ abkommen. ODER?

This is bonkers.

More and more people reporting today that Stripe - the payment processor that Itch said were putting the most pressure on them - now have staff actively confirming that yes, they are censoring LGBT content, adult or otherwise. That this is official company policy. This seems kinda significant.

This is one of the most beautiful things I have witnessed, the craft here is impeccable.

In den USA werden Bücher aus Bibliotheken verbannt, Universitäten auch im Hinblick auf Vermittlung von US-Geschichte unter Druck gesetzt, soziale Medien bei der Einreise kontrolliert, Trump möchte Ausstellungen in Museen kontrollieren. Diese Zeile ist Medienversagen.

Das hier sollte heute jeder lesen. www.lto.de/recht/nachri...

Now that the Internet officially has more bot activity than human activity, we should abandon it like they do in the Cyberpunk universe. Just start again on a new Internet

ah yeah the familiar whiplash of seeing a legacy media org cover something you're an actual expert in and realizing "oh if this is how badly they're fucking up this, how badly are they fucking up every other topic?"

Cheat Sheet v.2 nothing from the prior version is incorrect, but ive made it a little easier to read, plus included a bit more helpful information imgur link: imgur.com/a/wWaLY2i more comprehensive info can be found here: stop-paypros.neocities.org yellat.money MAKE YOUR CALLS!!!

Haben Sie die Netflix-Serie "Adolescence" gesehen? Netflix hat viel getan, um die Interpretation der Serie in eine bestimmte Richtung zu lenken. Christine Lötscher nennt das Paranoia-Marketing. Eine Kritik an der Vermarktung von Filmbildern und an paranoider Bildlektüre.

In case you are also sick of seeing those horrible auto-translated titles and descriptions in YouTube (an even channel names, ffs!), here is an extension that makes it go away. github.com/YouG-o/YouTu...

And this is out since yesterday! I had the pleasure of translating the game in French. Take a look, it's a lot of fun!

Für die @taz.de habe ich aufgeschrieben wie man mit den Kulturkampf-Kampagnen der extremen Rechten und des radikalisierten Konservatismus umgehen soll. Andere Wange hinhalten und „we go high“ ist der falsche Ansatz, man muss schnell und scharf reagieren. taz.de/Seid-schnell...

He’s now changed his name from Hitler to Henry. Still called Team Aryan though. Lmao

Einzige tolerable Kreuz:

The Drifter releases today! store.steampowered.com/app/1170570/... @dave.powerhoof.com, who also created the point 'n click tool PowerQuest, is a key contributor to the adventure game genre. Here's your chance to support him while also enjoying this exciting-looking new thriller.

creative communities really would be benefit from understanding that very few people are writing to be "representation" for others, and are instead writing in a way that personally nourishes them. while this work may be shared publicly, it really isn't anyone business's save for the creators.

What'd everyone pick up in the Steam sale? Girlfriend bought me Cyberpunk 2077, and I picked up The Roottrees Are Dead as well as Hypnospace Outlaw and Slayers X: Terminal Aftermath: Vengance of the Slayer because I have a serious need to play the latter

Superhero movies -- all the big blockbuster franchises actually, are made for too much money to be so mid to outright bad. I think we should be harder on them given the resources behind them and the pop cultural oxygen they take up.
