Journalism prof here. No, this is not taught by us (or at least the mjoroty of us). It is taught by corporate overlords who decide that an accurate headline does not create enough "reader engagement." By creating disingenuous headlines - very often calibrated to be rage bait for your base - 1/

Please share!

@unicornriot.bsky.social has this report from the scene (25K people as quoted by AP was police math, which is, at least in the US, almost always an underestimate)

I really appreciate that @pbsnews.org ended the interview with this graphic. It captures, in the simplest and starkest terms, the brutal arithmetic driving this country's homelessness catastrophe.

THERE WILL BE BLOOD (Anderson, 2007)

Hot* take: I want to see more spiritual successors rather than remakes for old games. I want to see people telling new stories and building new worlds rather than just rehashing old things. I also want old games to be easily and legally playable. * Probably not actually that hot

I'm flummoxed by the underground movement to rehab cancelled figures. There's a rumor that a studio head is planning to begin bringing cancelled people back. It's bananas. The industry has contracted, leaving writers, directors and actors scrambling for work and we're making space for sex criminals?

IMO, it raises the question of how useful are executives?

If by some miracle the whole AI industry falls apart because some tech bros decided to spend trillions on compute without spending maybe tens of millions a year on licensing art, I will laugh so hard I'll be in danger of a ruptured spleen.

As I watch the desperate posts of talented, hardworking people losing their homes, begging for help to feed their kids, trying frantically to catch any work… I can’t help but feel that those who steered our industry into this storm need to face similar consequences to the Icelandic bankers of 2008.

joining the war on AI on the side of bong joon ho

I love these so much

I feel like it is very hard to function on a daily basis if you think too hard about how many things in the US are completely falling apart and/or actively being destroyed right now, which is one upside to being recently laid off

I find it fascinating that the entire world is essentially struggling with the same social problems and instead of giving people housing and resources we continue to elect leaders who guard those resources. Maybe time to change gears???

Goebbels deez nuts Miller you human-sized anal polyp. What a miserable, shit-sucking, bag of rotten assholes in an ill-fitting suit. Cannot stand this sniveling little worm-tongued fuck.

Instead of doing a consumerism on "Black" Friday, consider supporting small businesses, dropping a few coins in someone's ko-fi or go fund me, sign up for their patreon instead. Life is expensive, things are hard. Drop coins to humans, not AI, or big corporations today. QRP with your links!

Just a reminder that @justdetention.bsky.social is doing their Words of Hope campaign! You can send a card to a survivor of prison SA. justdetention.org/writewordsof...

lol. lmao.

Better late than never but I'm finally starting Alan Wake 2. Probably going to just skip turkey day stuff and binge on Remedy instead.

this fuckin guy ...dropping allegations of journalistic malpractice and source betrayal in separate piece meal events like it’s delicious media gossip and then writing, “we haven’t reached the halfway point, and I haven’t yet described the most bizarre, consequential, and newsworthy events”

Bodied by my eldest , frankly

Reading the few articles about this I think a better headline would be "Karoline Leavitt weaponizes ICE to forcibly resolve brother's paternity dispute" www.huffpost.com/entry/karoli...

It didn’t happen around Christmas but I do see the similarities in being trapped with monsters you distrust.

From my anecdotal experience, this is absolutely true

I was recently asked "if required to use an LLM three days a week at work, what areas would most benefit or accelerate" and I responded: "If I were arbitrarily forced to do this I would find a new job aed if it were up to me I'd fire every engineer I found vibe coding on the spot, no exceptions."

Ah yes Alan Dershowitz. Esteemed and "charismatic" lawyer to... (Checks notes)... Jeffrey Epstein. Clearly what American politics need now is even more neolib "enlightened centrist" media outlets. That's certainly done something to curtail rampant fascism. Weiss is a ghoul.

new episode of pluribus dropped early

Oh fuck yes!

still looking for level design work! I can work in Unreal, Unity, and probably whatever in-house engine you'll throw at me. I have worked on DLC for Sniper Elite 5, various community mod projects, and custom maps for TF2 and Half-Life 2. portfolio ➡️ iibo.games

At a certain point, all the Nuzzi/Lizza/RFK/Sanford/whatever stuff starts to feel like we're all being forced to participate in some weird fetish of the media elite.
