Lolllllll I had completely forgotten about this

Ireland’s basic income for the arts scheme becomes permanent When piloted, initiative that provided €325 a week to eligible artists recouped more than its net cost, study shows

Don’t threaten me with a good time.

So anyway, it’s now come out that several of the board members of Activision Blizzard during the time of our walkouts around the treatment of women were all heavily featured in the Epstein files. This is my not shocked face.

What if we all acted like a city on the moon was a great idea, and when it’s finished and they all think they have the Island part 2, we just… Accidentally lose communication with the base?

That's exactly the kind of review score spread that I'd hope for in a Grasshopper game. If there aren't some folks absolutely loathing every second, it's not interesting.

me in hell

Joseph Gordon-Levitt went to the Senate claiming to "hold big tech accountable" while promoting The Heritage Foundation's tech policy agenda and boosting groups like Morality in Media (aka NCOSE), which has sought to criminalize LGBTQ sex, w board members that support conversion therapy

Ironic, as this was the magazine that referred to Pokémon as a "pestilential Ponzi scheme" in 1999, characterising its creator Satoshi Tajiri as a literal monster "His eyes are bloodshot; dark circles ripple beneath them... His monsters are a child's predelictions." He never gave another interview.

Can we stop gating things behind Discord, yet? Be it information, game mods, game dev, etc. I don't want to join your Discord for a snippet of information. Discord is not a replacement for forums, social media, or encyclopedias. Please stop making Discord servers for everything, it's exhausting.

They got the big game on at the bar

Just remembered a photoshop I had a little fun with.

Good. Hiding the names of people asking for 10 year old girls is fucking disgusting.

BREAKING: The Epstein survivors are releasing this ad on this Super Bowl Sunday to send the message that they will not “move on” from the largest sex trafficking scandal in the world. #standwithsurvivors

Did u know they turned the game from Heated Rivalry into a real sport?

I rolled credits on FFXVI… Have a lot of thoughts and feelings to process before I talk anymore about it.

I was thinking of rereading Lord of the RIngs (again), but I'm thinking of trying to get into the Wheel of Time (again)

I'm sorry the guy changing the rules on the fly is named what

Why are there so many dead canaries lying around this coal mine???

This is Kinako. She is a phenomenally proportioned pup proving that bulbous is beautiful. 13/10 #SeniorPupSaturday (IG: nao77001048)

Hi, FBI? I want to report a nuclear burn.

The prophecy, fulfilled

Me trying to figure out what the fuck is going on in the Omega Weapon in FFXVI (but I still absolutely loved it).

Let’s make it viral folks. Thank you @histoftech.bsky.social.

Finneas is better at political messaging than 99% of the Democratic consultants in DC.

I know it’s a long shot that HBO will have @samanthabeart.bsky.social reprise their role as Karlach, @thekatyo.bsky.social is the only other acceptable actor to play the role.

I fear Pragmata is going to emotionally wreck me

It remains very funny that people are scared of this guy and the evils they imagine him wanting to inflict

Once again, it turns out “fully autonomous” means “a guy in the Philippines.”

Based on true events.

Hello! I'm looking to speak to anyone who works, or has worked in a diversity position at a major studio or publisher (or whatever it's been called at that company, inclusive growth, DEI, whatever!). Conversations can be 100% anon, of course, via DM here or email lukeATaftermathDOTsite. Thanks!

This is literally true. There was a proposal in the US in the early seventies to bring in a basic income, there were trials, and they succeeded on every measure -- but the divorce rate went up as women didn't have to live with men they didn't love. So the proposal was scrapped.

Name them shame them

Bring back Tokyo Jungle, you cowards!

Damn you’re telling me the technology that was very obviously intended for unregulated speculation and criminal enterprises was used to do awful things

Best news I’ve heard all year! Can’t wait for David Hayter shirtless in 4k.

Never forget that Sonic fought Chaos 0 cause it looked like fun, and NOT to protect the cops getting merced

Sounds like the perfect time to ditch Instagram. It's not enough for them to have people generate free content, now they want you to pay for your own work.
