Breaking: Ubisoft has just announced their next Assassin's Creed setting

You cannot be fucking serious

Recent article about the AI companies choosing similar logos. medium.com/ai-ai-agent/...

Claude AI’s logo is unironically Kurt Vonnegut’s butthole drawing

All the bands I listen to have profile pictures where they look really upset, angry or disappointed to see me

Ah, the truth reveals itself. Users of AI image generators don't want it to be "creative." They want it so that they can take control of other people's work and puppeteer it do what THEY want it to do.

Kraven, the Front Door Avoider

Hey gang. Sorry to have to do this again but I got hit with a big overdraft paying rent and I still need to take care of electric, Internet, and water. Please help, even just by sharing the post. paypal.me/tknyarly #broke #transcrowdfund #rent #mutualaid

"Disappear for 3 month & Keep it private until it's done" is a weirdly compelling ad pitch in 2025, actually

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy: www.citizensinformation.ie/en/employmen...

Is it important for a business to have a revenue model? Asking for a bubble

Now you have to pay $30 to not upgrade

Hey, a Wizards Win. You don't always see it. Make sure to donate.

We need help not being entirely buried by financial disaster today. linktr.ee/wylder

Looking for some political-but-not-strictly-political music to purchase this BandCamp Friday? "Radical Honesty" is clearly written from a queer, leftist angle, but not insistently so. I'll highlight some of the most "in our present moment" lyrics below: downupright.bandcamp.com/album/radica...

I’m still trying to figure out why people are searching for “porn” on PornHub. You’re already there! You found it! It’s right in front of you!

If you follow AI, you've heard a number of cognitive scientists weigh in with valuable insights and concerns. You may not have heard from one quite like Hagen Blix, however, who describes generative AI as "class warfare through enshittification." My interview with @hagenblix.bsky.social:

The university compact being offered to universities requires colleges to eliminate the recognition of trans people and ban them from bathrooms, locker rooms, and gender segregated dorms. www.pbs.org/newshour/amp...

As someone who is a hobbyist archivist I cannot recommend enough making your own physical copies of any queer and trans media that is important to you sooner rather than later.

IT BEGINS. Compress your concepts. Minimalise your designs. ...Squish your ideas?

Because the federal government shut down on the first of the month, everyone should know folks with a Section 8 Voucher cannot be evicted because the government didn't make the voucher payment, nor can their portion of the rent be increased to cover the voucher payment. 24 C.F.R. § 982.310(b)(1)

The world is burning, I got noodles for brains Gonna bleach my eyebrows, change my name

Thread about Mullvad VPN. Be sure to read replies from others too, Mullvad apparently doesn’t log anything you do (they also don’t have your name or info which is cool)

this is the last physics video for a bit. and I didn't even get to do any physics.

Great piece by @jonathanjarry.bsky.social on the descent of Sabine Hossenfelder, from science communicator to contrarian outrage-monger www.mcgill.ca/oss/article/...

Wild that EA managed to find a buyer who cares about video game workers even less than EA.

Tonight keeps getting more difficult. We're going to have to cancel our 'reasons' tomorrow if we dont get some massive help, or abundant amounts of small help. Ive waited So Long for a chance, cancelling feels like a death sentence. PLEASE help? linktr.ee/wylder Please boost our mutual aid posts?

Ban phones at rock shows

A whole lot of people missing the "In the moment" part of In This Moment

OK, before this week, it had been several years since I'd been to a rock show and I have a question... Have people forgotten how to fucking move their bodies? To feel a rhythm?? To move their feet??? This crowd had to be told by the band when to mosh and even jump. If this is typical... I weep

I feel like there's a trend in video games that's just recreating a specific nightmare you had

Well, yes, that’s what authoritarians pretty much always do - declare an Outsider to focus the forces of the State upon. It’s up to everyone who considers themselves “normal” to recognize that *they’re* also eventually on that list, and we’ll save a lot of lives if we fight now rather than later.

If you've enjoyed some of my games and are interested in trying it yourself, why not join the ONE HUNDRED ONE PAGE GAME JAM next month? There's PRIZES. itch.io/jam/one-hund...

The great lie of Nationalism, and by extension Nazis, is that a nation is a single homogeneous thing. It's a silly idea if you examine it, but it underpins all their ideas. They think they're not only a majority, but the true voice of the entire nation willing to silence and exclude half that nation

This is just part 1 - but if there are people in your life who don't understand how we got here, hopefully this will help explain it, in bite-sized pieces. It's also what aggravated my baby ulcer, so please make it worthwhile and share this widely! kittystryker.medium.com/what-the-fuc...

I wonder if the fall of Rome was this stupid too but we just don't have the records of it

The first single off of the Circle Back EP is OUT NOW! It's called "Stagnant Waters," and I wrote it almost TWENTY YEARS AGO. (It's basically me bitching that Evan hadn't proposed yet, but make it clever and METAL 🤘🏽😂) Listen and enjoy a little Monday Mood!

The algorithm's tendency to reinforce beliefs has sorted people into alternate realties. It's not strictly an "echo chamber" of who you follow on socials, every content platform personalizes what you see to such an extreme degree - even when there isn't someone intentionally biasing the the algos

GameDev Week3: Because daily updates aren't reasonable. Made good progress through tutorial getting player animations and State Machines going. It looks like you do stuff!

James Gunn just doesn't miss does he?

It's almost boring how unsurprising it is that the Right's response to the death of their Free Speech Jesus is to immediately attack free speech

NEW CASTLE RAT ALBUM DAY!!!!!!!!! #CastleRat #TheBestiary

DEZI just doesn't stop making bops. music.youtube.com/watch?v=p3EE...

This stays true. i truly believe the only reason I'm still a moderately functioning human being through all this is because I've spent so much energy tapping in to local organizations and mutual aid groups

Blow at High Dough New Orleans is Sinking And my personal favorite: Escape is at Hand for the Travellin Man

I am so jealous of this oblivious pile of fluff.

if your mental image of the word "wizard" is anything that would NOT be airbrushed on the side of a kickass van, someone has failed you

Friendship sure is a Tim Robinson movie

Freelance illustration gigs drying up. Ad agencies using Midjourney instead of hiring human artists. Costume design turned over to AI wholesale. Good work vanishing. These are the stories of working visual artists, who describe losing jobs, wages, and hope as their clients and bosses embrace AI.
