“Bubble” is just the word you use to say “community” when you don’t like the people in the community.

Me, a week ago www.wheresyoured.at/ai-is-too-ex...

In my mind, Jason started running from off-camera and slid into place right as they took the pic and no one had time to react. XD

Pope Leo quoting Tolkien in his encyclical on AI seems like a pointed reference for the tech oligarchs who have appropriated LOTR for their own ends.

"painters hated it when they invented the camera" okay? I'm sure people didn't like when some camera-bro was like "now I can do what you do but better and in a second, why would we need paintings???" because it was stupid. But was that camera slurping up water and telling kids to kill themselves?

Comedia

hey everyone wanna see what a manufactured hate campaign is shaped like???

Someone at a convention once said to a friend who was working the booth with me that he liked my work but he wasn't going to buy anything because "Chris is successful enough and doesn't need my money". Anyway I'm no longer a full time game designer because I didn't make enough money to live.

I do not want GenAI in fanart. I do not want GenAI in character design. I do not want GenAI in world design. I do not want GenAI in writing. I do not want GenAI in storyboarding. I do not want GenAI in voice acting. I do not want GenAI, period. If any piece of media uses GenAI, I don't want it.

A UNION IS NOT A THIRD PARTY REPRESENTING THE WORKERS. A UNION IS THE WORKERS THEMSELVES.

As the games organization movement grows and continues to succeed, it's essential that we as workers know what to expect from the boss' old bag of tricks. Learn about union busting, common tactics, and your rights regarding organizing. Call it out when you see it and certainly don't fall for it.

Fucking stop using fucking Spotify just fucking stop. There are no excuses. If you're an indie artist and you prop up Spotify because you think it helps you you're part of the problem. Stop using it to listen. Stop using it to host your music.

No physical evidence connects Tony Carruthers to the crime he's set to be executed for today. A paid informant who recanted his story secured Tony's conviction at a trial he was forced to defend himself in. The Supreme Court must stop this irreversible injustice from happening in just a few hours.

This is a monstrous bill. Just horrific. And it's progressing, so the time to call is now.

We're live with The Affairs of Wizards! Come hang out as The Spine Rippers figure out what they're doing next. Probably getting into trouble. www.twitch.tv/dungeonscraw...

did you know that Vampire Crawlers has a 1 hour full game free trial on PS5? 👀 available for PlayStation Plus Premium members! 💙

I’m willing to try, JUST to be sure.

"the R slur is coming back" not within slapping distance of me it's not

IT'S HAPPENING

Just a little PSA- Neil Gaiman has reactivated his Bluesky account. Because he deactivated before a lot of people could unfollow him, and/or because Bluesky doesn’t remove you from a person’s followers when you block them, a LOT of you are still publicly listed as following him. You should check.

I should've said: maaaaajor TW/CW for descriptions of rape and other sexual/emotional violations Apologies for not including that the first time around You are REALLY under no obligation to read this article in detail if you (like me) are a rape victim

still not quite over the fact that i watched 15 year olds get sued for millions of dollars for downloading twelve songs and now we all have to accept AI slop because every tech company in the known universe decided that IP laws don't exist now that they're inconvenient for them

There is nothing any developer can do to avoid right-wing ideologues, no level of acquiescence that will stave them off if they choose to target you, because they will just make shit up wholecloth! They're like CinemaSins looking for any reason to ding that bell; the "sin" is made-up post hoc.

I have ditched ppl like this so fast they have t been able to blink before they realized what happened. I don’t argue, I don’t try to talk them out of it — I simply bounce

People outside of the US: yes, it really is like this here.

once again, just spitballing, what if we just provided for everyone's basic material needs

yikes brother

The Trump Admin's ability to find the least skilled people in the world to be in the most important jobs in the world would almost be impressive; they plunge the lowest gutter of the USA and take the ghouls clogging the pipes of a functioning society, slap them in a suit and stick them into power.

If we actually want to appreciate moms, we should be providing free childcare, healthcare, and guaranteed income for stay-at-home parents to put more money in families’ pockets and ensure no SAHP is reliant on a partner for their economic security. Idk I think that’s better than 15% off a vacuum.

Oh my. This is spectacular. sinceyouarrived.world/taken

ok i got a lot of replies to this on tumblr but this is the best one ^^

destroying the trees themselves instead of the peaches is where this goes from unmitigated greed into actual evil

I remember one school did rope climbing and jump rope time tests but never once did anything to teach/help us be better at these things.

The Federal government cannot be trusted on health issues over the next few years. We have to rely on blue state health departments.

Calling AI use “gambling behavior” is so right in so many ways. I hadn’t quite clocked it such a manner but boy that ain’t wrong.

People keep asking Alan Moore questions about comics he's disowned when they could spend more time asking him questions about things he actually gives a shit about—and get answers as glorious as this.

NASA just dropped more than 12,000 photos from the Artemis II mission. It'll take me a few days to go through them all, but so far it's one stunner after another. Link: eol.jsc.nasa.gov/SearchPhotos... Credit: NASA/Artemis II Crew (h/t @jonostrower.com)

We must call this for what it is: voter suppression that will silence Black and brown voters. The magnitude of this decision cannot be understated — it guts the Voting Rights Act and its very purpose of protecting all voices. Every American deserves an equal vote.
