An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

It's that giving time of year again, so this is a reminder that no matter how they try to dress it up, the Salvation Army is not a charity.

The admission that this game wasted circa 130GB of disc space for no particular reason or benefit is kind of funny because it raises very uncomfortable questions other AAA tier game developers are not brave enough to answer.

Amazed that I just look like this now. HRT is magic ✨💖✨

Either you understand that there is an organized campaign to push trans people out of public life with the explicit end goal of "morally mandating us out of existence" that is backed by some of the wealthiest individuals to have ever lived, or you're simply not equipped to grasp what's happening.

CW: Slurs, AI, Bigotry "Clanker" is a slur. full stop. I know this because of a reddit thread I saw full of folks gleefully using it in response to a comic portraying a *fictional, fully sentient robot character.* The thread in question, btw. Read at your own risk: old.reddit.com/r/comics/com...

A tiny crack in a spacecraft window triggered China’s first-ever emergency launch to Tiangong space station. A CCTV article reveals what happened over 20 intense days, and why a piece of space debris smaller than 1 mm forced the emergency response.

A good meditation on why just "recreating" an historic structure architecturally without the everyday lived context ends up with a sterile result. Also why thoughtful environmental storytelling is so powerful

And I don't know if the answer is: everyone is too traumatized to do work and we need to reinvent society. Or if it's more like: generations are losing their cognitive abilities and willpower due to destructive technologies. Or: we all have post-viral brain damage. Or: all of the above.

And I swear, once again, this is not dunking on kids. We are seeing this at all levels--even grad students. AI + social media has had a profound impact on how we think and process our world, and we can't stop to reflect on it, because billionaires keep hurling addictive tech at us.

turned out after quoting @caseyexplosion.bsky.social, the words finally came to me.

Don't mind me, I was losing my mind while waiting to be let into work

Nearly every single day I have games like this clogging up my inboxes, and it's such a time wasting endeavour, as I have to sort through and filter out all the AI generated shovelware, and it just won't stop. No matter how clear I am that I am not interested in AI slopware, it keeps coming.

We're stoked to introduce the 'No Gen AI' seal for indie games! Indie devs can use it on their game's store page to assure potential players that their game was made without the use of Generative AI. You can grab it from the Polygon Treehouse website:- www.polygon-treehouse.com/no-gen-ai-seal

A very, very important peer-reviewed empirical study published in the academic journal Pediatrics shows that hormone treatment of young trans people decreases suicidality very significantly. Doubtless it will be ignored by Simonoff et al, who are not even measuring this in the “Pathways” study.

1. A landmark study was just published in The Journal of Pediatrics. It found a 68% reduction in suicidality for trans youth getting HRT. It also found only 7 of more than 400 stopped taking HRT... and of those that did, 4 still identified as gender-diverse. Transgender care saves lives.

Figured I'd share this here but theres an account on twitter called A.Mikusa and theyve been posting ai generated content trained off of my art with insane success and profit, please share my story to get their account terminated- docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I can't say I expect to sell many tickets on my tiny Bluesky, but I'll dream anyway. I really want this to work and I truly think anyone who attended would have an amazing time. It's called Generator. Coming to Massey Hall on the 27th. Please tell your people. masseyhall.mhrth.com/tickets/chri...

I have not been on my normal HRT setup for ~8 months and I basically no longer have good credit in just trying to scrape through this. I hate that I'm still doing this and I'm probably going to add a goal for December but just... anything helps. Fingers very crossed about this week's job apps.

You've got until the end of tomorrow to grab this and convince your friends to do the same. The bots ain't terrible either if you want to play it solo, has drop-in/drop-out multiplayer, and thanks to the giveaway, tons of new players. It's just a good time.

the only good thing about genAI is that it got me to really love seeing bad art, because I know a person put in time and effort, made themselves vulnerable by showing it to others, and is trying to improve. I value that more than anything now
