There's no money in any of the creative industries except for the vast amounts of money certain people are sitting on demanding even more money because they must possess all the money. It's utterly asinine. And entirely by design.

Unions are the only concrete action I can think of for devs (or anyone) to address the problems that the layoffs have made so starkly clear.

i work in an incubator space that's kept open through an educational subsidy, and the games being made there rely on government funding and nearly everyone working other jobs. everything is hanging by a thread.

Always remember: unlike many countries, the UK doesn't allow people to apply for asylum unless they pay criminals to cross the Channel. You can't arrive by plane on a tourist visa and do it. This policy is entirely to reduce non-white migration.

DOGE's new AI, built to scan federal workers' emails to see if they get to keep their jobs, is the latest in a number of AI schemes from Musk. We might scoff at how dumb these ideas are, but the truth is, they're not even supposed to work. They're built to eliminate accountability.

This games industry bloodbath is because of corporate mismanagement and pure, unrestrained avarice. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

I think what’s so frustrating is executives talking about “getting swagger back” by releasing good games in order to increase investment, whereas every dev I know just wants to release good games when they’re ready in order to keep sustainably making good games that players like.

THEY'RE GOING TO ISSUE PERMANENT VISA BANS TO TRANS VISITORS TO THE US. This isn't just for athletes. The directive as stated applies to all visa applications made by trans folks and declare it material fraud to use a different gender marker on applications. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...

Some people will look at this and only see how foolish it is. But what it also is an attempt to set up a blameless, unaccountable arbiter by inserting automation into a “decision making” process. And tbh I wish more people at more news outlets would call that out.

To me, a Nazi salute means, "I want to murder your family." There can be no irony about it: It puts deep anger and hatred in my heart to see it done and I will never forgive anyone who justifies or minimizes it.

Musk's whole deal is to pretend that no one knew how government bureaucracy worked before, like it was this big mystery box, and it's exactly that combo of stupidity and arrogance that pervades silicon valley and leads to them reinventing a city bus and thinking they're Isaac Newton

being obsessed with IQ is a good sign that you have nothing in your life to give you actual meaning. (also a good sign you have bell curve-esque beliefs about human equality)

These are brown shirts, and this is Nazi behavior. We are not in a fight between right and left anymore. This is a fight between Americans and those who would bend the knee to a king. If you care about the soul of this country, we have to stand for each other.

The broad institutional refusal to apply laws or even mildly regulate this man’s companies doesn’t just result in $130,000 cars held together with Elmer’s glue and magnets, it has materially led to the end of democracy in America.

With the far-right family behind the French revisionist historical theme park, Puy du Fou, planning a £600m park in the UK, it’s more important than ever to interrogate the ideology of immersive experiences. “Immersion” has always been used for propaganda, of course. But…

My daughter brings the tablet. She needs help finishing the Gabby's Dollhouse game she's been playing for days. The final level loads, and it is familiar... scrolling notes, a score bar... In a dusty cupboard somewhere I haven't lived for years, a plastic strum-bar begins to rattle... I am ready.

Taking notes well is one of your most valuable skills. You need to be able to respond healthily and positively, and that takes practice along with internal, emotional work. You won't get the most out of your feedback if you're trapped in a defensive mode.

Elon Musk is a Nazi. He is a rapist and an abuser. He is profoundly stupid and uncurious. He has no business acumen or technical know how. His only skill is raising capital during periods of speculative economic excess Like Trump, his rise to power is a direct rebuke of Post Reagan neoliberalism

Seems like a lot of people don't understand that prison guards are cops, cops are class traitors, and cop "strikes" don't count. The political position one should agitate for here is a massive reduction in the number of prisons, prisoners, and punitive security regimes within prisons.

The reason villains are typically more interesting than heroes in fiction is very simple. Heroes in most mainstream American art obey the law and uphold the status quo. If you want more interesting good guys, you need to start writing heroes who blow up pipelines and kill ICE agents.
