Delighted to see this piece up! Massive thank you to all the women who shared their experience with me for this 🖤 www.gamesindustry.biz/a-decade-on-...

The ACM Digital Library, where a LOT of computing-related research is published (I'd say at least 75% of my own publications), is now not only providing (without consent of the authors and without opt-in by readers) AI-generated summaries of papers, but they appear as the *default* over abstracts.

These developers want to know how many dudes it would take to win in a fight with 100 toddlers https://kotaku.com/how-many-dudes-crashlands-butterscotch-shenanigans-interview-2000652567

On reflection, I probably should have made a trailer for this video: www.youtube.com/watch?v=whpO...

This came to me in a dream, so it must be posted. All converted media is trans media. When you go from JPEG to PNG, the image doesn't fundamentally change; the only reason we call it something different is that we have an objective understanding of what each format is. Maybe my dreams are high.

If you see the words 'irrevocable', 'in perpetuity', 'formats not yet invented', 'net after costs', 'all rights', you're selling every damn thing you could make money from as an author for a one time payment, or in this case, a promise. Signing this gives the publisher money meant for you forever.

We're half a decade into studies finding that improving airflow in classrooms will reduce disease transmission enormously, and that bleaching surfaces etc. does very little. And yet nothing changes. Waves of flu and colds wash over schools, and the schools pretend it's an act of God.

To the porch pirates who stole my shit over Thanksgiving, I hope you enjoy your low carb noodles and the planner and pens my friend helped me pick out and sent to me. It was for therapy, but w/e. Absolutely worthless to you but it meant something to me and it's not really replaceable. Get fucked.

EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum". PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TvW...

Here's what I got by googling "Scaretalgia"... It scares me by making me feel old. @mattaukamp.bsky.social @pushinguproses.bsky.social

Women deserve better.

There are coincidences, and there are trends, and then there's this. This is erasure.

We live in a world where there are teddy bears ready to explain to toddlers how to engage in consensual sadomasochistic cutting, but we're banning corrupting books about heavy topics like how Cindy has two dads and that's okay.

We need libraries for so many reasons. www.11alive.com/article/news...

Hey, I'm looking for comics and graphic novels *by* Indigenous writers and/or illustrators, especially in the Americas. Doesn't have to be a recent book. Any genre! Any topic, any themes, does not have to be a memoir or history, though that is welcome too!

I am so sick of hearing about that awful woman who doesn't matter, and that awful show that everyone is hate watching, and why everyone's mad about that joke article that was written AS A BIT. We ask why no one celebrates anything anymore but NO ONE SHARES CELEBRATORY STORIES.
