I think if you use gen ai, you should be sentenced to stand on a stage and have writers/artists pelt you with rotten tomatoes while Steve from Blues Clues tells you how disappointed he is in you, oh and every tomato that hits you drains your company's stock closer to bankruptcy.

starbucks is anti-union and the coffee is shit. support local coffee shops and don’t cross the picket line!

Today the British union IWGB said it has filed formal legal claims against Rockstar Games for firing 30+ employees two weeks ago, as Bloomberg first reported. Rockstar said the employees were leaking information. The IWGB calls it union-busting. More to come as the legal process plays out...

the force unleashed has to be one of the most unhinged games i’ve ever played. anyway, moving on to kotor lol

if you are food insecure for both the humans and pets in your household there is a tool called Pet Help Finder that can help locate pet food banks nearby and other free or reduced price assistance and supplies for pets. no one, ABSOLUTELY NO ONE, should have to give up their pet bc of this.

If you're arrested in Illinois for the means by which you acquire food for your family because of the government shutdown or loss of SNAP benefits, I can represent you pro bono. Email me at [email protected]. As always, I will take as many cases as I can.

“Since 2018, labor columnist Kim Kelly brought the labor beat to teenage readers through her “No Class” column, covering everything from wildcat strikes to general strikes, the Gilded Age labor organizer Mother Jones to contemporary Amazon warehouse conditions.” 💔 thisislaborwise.com/teen-vogues-...

I asked about Game Awards press tickets in October. Got an email yesterday encouraging me to buy my own, as there were no spares.

Don't miss this important event in Cambridge, MA. www.harvard.com/event/we-are...

I was a member of TGA Future Class 2022 and lemmee tell ya, my skin has been crawling since pretty much every interaction I had with them (few) & story I heard about other members' interactions with them (many) was bad. & by bad I mean, so many shades of being used as photo op tokens & nothing more

"Rockstar, Rockstar, you're disgusting, we charge you with union busting," the protesters declared.

Personally, I believe that institutions that purport to support or otherwise celebrate an industry have a responsibility to pursue material action that backs that support up. Here, we have an example of the most abject failure to uphold that responsibility, and it's frankly embarrassing. (1/5)

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default. Here's how to turn it off. First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

a desire to "create an ecosystem that is equivalent to silicon valley," is not the flex you think it is.

NEW: Big layoffs at Final Fantasy maker Square Enix, which is shrinking its US and UK offices as it looks to cut costs and consolidate publishing operations in Japan. Exact number isn't clear but the company says it will save $19.6 million due to the cuts www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

being a casual gamer is valid! being a casual fan is valid! normalize enjoying things casually!

NEW YAWK CITY BABY

thank you for all the support; the statement from our union is now live here with some more reporting. now that this is public I can confirm that the majority of today’s layoffs were women of color. there are no longer any Black women working at Teen Vogue.

I was laid off from Teen Vogue today along with multiple other staffers, and today is my last day. certainly more to come from me when the dust has settled more, but to my knowledge, after today, there will be no politics staffers at Teen Vogue.

Game workers of Toronto unite! Take a break from making games by playing games at the UVW Toronto meetup on Friday November, 14th at FreePlay Retro Arcade Bar. Admission is free (just check in at the door), first drink is on us! www.eventbrite.com/e/united-vid...

This is the most ruthless act of union busting in the history of the UK games industry. Yesterday, @rockstargames.com unfairly fired over 30 employees for union activity. We won't back down, and we're not scared - we will fight for every member to be reinstated.

eternally angry at the bosses and executives who fuck over devs and artists. this is an industry wide issue. workers deserve better.

fuck rockstar

i fear i now have a copy of this (it's over chat)

i didn't need another reason to dislike geoff keighly but here we are

$300 for industry, $80-230 for the public. In this economy, where half of us can't find work.

if you haven't already now is the time to look into your local mutual aid groups. find your local food not bombs collective. there are hundreds of chapters doing work! foodnotbombs.net

if you're able to donate to people who are on snap that would be the most helpful but if not- donating to food banks, churches, helping out your neighbors, friends, strangers ect is whats also important equally just be there if you can. even just emotionally. no one should worry about eating.

With SNAP/EBT cuts looming I highly recommend downloading this app! Basically restaurants and other food businesses will have available bags of random food they don’t wanna waste for ppl to buy for hella cheap! This has saved me sooooo many times when I only have $5 and need some food.

In Dec 2024, along with Few Friends One Cause we fundraised over $4K for Doctors Without Borders. This Dec we're fundraising again, but this time for Palestine Children's Relief Fund. If you stream on Twitch and would like to join us, please follow the link to apply. docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

if they put a single clone in kh4 i will never recover

well, it took chat less then .5 seconds to convince me to play mass effect (rip my backlog)
