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

The President of the United States welcome a leader wanted by the ICC and officially endorsed ethnic cleansing. Now would be a good time for our government to defend international law. If they won’t say it, we will: Palestinians aren’t going anywhere.

The government could have finally brought Royal Mail into public ownership. It sold it to a Czech billionaire instead. We are being ripped off. It’s time to put Royal Mail back where it belongs: in public hands. bbc.in/49BZTmP
