Please, don't apologize for taking down X and ChatGPT

Well now, would you look at that? A massive study of NEARLY 300,000 people in the United States found that receiving an updated 2024-2025 mRNA COVID-19 vaccine REDUCED people’s risk of severe disease AND death in ALL age groups, REGARDLESS of immunity from prior infection or vaccination.

another hidden/externalized cost and form of theft in AI is the bots for Meta etc are blowing up site hosting charges of pages they're looting for information to take credit for. profits go to meta and others, made possible by costs spread to all the operators of sites they're crawling to steal from

Just a reminder to check for your name in this list of books that OpenAI trained from. If your name is there, they probably owe you several thousand dollars. OpenAI cried that if everyone eligible author files, the company will go bankrupt, so I'm alerting every author I have ever spoken to.

The way writers (of games too!!!!) and artists have to also be their own social media managers now to get work needs to be studied

heads up as tech that used to work fine keeps getting worse, google's attempt to summarize my flight email somehow made up the wrong date, which is not a date in this email. it then added it on my calendar for the wrong date. when I tried moving it, google moved it back to wrong. don't trust google⚠️

This “solo dev” and “only 3 devs” rhetoric is getting truly dangerously out of hand. Investors see this and think “I only have to pay 3 people” and the result is severely overworked and/or underpaid people and a subpar product. We need to stop treating outsourcers and contractors like ghosts.

Look at this ✨extremely handsome man ✨ Whew omg He's playing silksong rn He's so hot He's lovely We're going to watch the finale of Andor S1 together 🥵

Meet the faces of Gamescom! I had the privilege to attend Gamescom 2025 and wanted to highlight some of the incredible people from the games industry I met this year. I have the utmost respect for each of them and felt truly honored to capture a quick portrait of them. Part 3 includes:

Before he died, this Gaza teen described what it was like to starve www.cbc.ca/news/world/g...

We took the paywall down on this one. defector.com/how-the-fuck...

Canadians, this is a parliamentary petition, not a random online thing. Takes a minute to sign. An easy good deed for the day.

🚨 Episode 8 of neurocracy.site is out now! Do check out the dope ass article that the below citation came from: omnipedia.app/wiki/2049/10/08/Blankout It's about mysterious bursts of memory loss that have been affecting people in 2049 🕳️🧠 And players think they're affected 👀

Canadians! There is a petition to sign to protest Mastercard and Visa's control over the purchase of legal adult content. This is specifically about the Steam & itchio situation, but language protects adult creators. www.ourcommons.ca/petitions/en... #nsfw #censorship #canpoli @acvalens.net

My only regret is that I didn't make a bonfire out of the HP books I tossed out years ago, and build that bonfire into fundraising for trans charities.

I want to yell at these people AI CANT ASSIGN COPYRIGHT. If you use generative AI you will violate your publisher indemnifications that you own or have the valid licenses to all assets in the game. There is never any consideration for this and its setting people up for failure to promote it

Andor made me cry last night. :"(

Hey Firefox users.

Just a heads up. I was able to schedule my COVID vaccine appointment. Online it will ask “do you have a condition that puts you at high risk for severe outcomes from COVID-19 virus.” Click yes and it will allow you to schedule an appointment. No questions asked. No proof required. Pass it on.

If you missed The Crimson Diamond on Steam Daily Deal yesterday, no worries! It’s STILL 25% off! store.steampowered.com/app/1098770/... Here’s a better look at the red crystals on the 1-year anniversary cake, using my trusty ol’ loupe! I can’t believe it’s been a year since launch. 🥲

It MELTS MY BRAIN that Adobe Acrobat, where legal documents and financial forms get signed, are trying to put gen-AI to summarize and to automate. WE NEED LEGAL LITERACY, SHIT, like we've always needed. It really feels like gen-AI bs is trying to create a new lower class to sign away their rights.

I think there are better things to spend 2 fucking billion quid on... Like the list of things that would be a better use of that money is really long.

Bye #gamescom2025! @garyjkings.bsky.social and I had a lovely time!

I met only devs, orgs, and publishers rolling their eyes at this. We’re paying money to be at Gamescom because we care about the human to human interaction, and this is part of our process as well, nothing short of that.

Over at the Amaze space at Gamescom, the brilliant @vividfoundry.bsky.social shares the miracle of journaling, among other things.

@vividfoundry.bsky.social is kicking ass talking about production in the coziest way possible about fountain pens and journaling and I am HERE FOR IT

Give it up for political game maker and prof @drjclau.bsky.social #gamescom2025

Hang out with us and hear our talks at #gamescom2025!

STARTING NOW!! If you’re at Gamescom, come through to the A Maze Digital Playground for HyperTalks in 10.2! Super stoked to be here with @vividfoundry.bsky.social and @xujennyc.bsky.social!

'Traders pinned some of the decline on a report released late on Monday by a branch of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in which researchers said that “95 per cent of organisations are getting zero return” from their investments in generative AI...' 👀

Good work.

Hey folks! Embargoed review keys for Demonschool go out TODAY, and we also want to give that opportunity to streamers/creators. If you are interested in streaming or making video about Demonschool please fill out this form! If you know someone who might be interested, tag them or send it to them!

A new announcement is dropping at Gamescom #wow

Fingers crossed I'm dealing with the problem directly by making narrative-first games, aimed at audiences who are around because they love reading.

[email protected] and I will be around #gamescom2025 and yes it's going to be a sunny day for a good portion of the week for more 📸!

Obligatory “Germany, I am in you” photo. #gamescom2025

Hi Germany, I’m here for Gamescom!

We (Draknek & Friends - A Monster's Expedition, Cosmic Express, etc.) are looking for a Godot consultant to help us investigate and fix some issues with long load times for scenes on mobile. If you're interested, email [email protected] with your experience and rates. #godot #madewithgodot

Barely an hour ago, Palestinian journalist Anas Al-Sharif warned us all: “If this madness doesn’t end, Gaza will be reduced to ruins, its people’s voices silenced, their faces erased — and history will remember you as silent witnesses to a genocide you chose not to stop.” Israel just killed him.

What is heartbreak if not the recognition that one deserves better?
