None of us can be sure what will “work.” You try multiple things and find your way in. Read some histories of the Civil Rights Movement by those who participated. They were never “sure” of what would work. Some campaigns fizzled out. But persistence, creativity, determination, and focus were key.

There's the reality of the video game market, and then there's the alternate universe that is the video game market seen through the lens of LinkedIn. LinkedIn is just wild right now. Nothing but empty AI hype.

Edited by someone who was fired for sexual misconduct And everyone who contributed almost certainly knows this, although maybe this felt like a natural connection for the guy who was fired for stalking and sexually harassing his own student 🧪

i appreciate and respect the organization it takes to schedule and amplify a boycott like this respectfully, we need to find a long-term solution outside of one day boycotts: most of the companies on this list are insolated from the effects of a single day or even a month long boycott

I don't find it painful at all, I find it very comforting; I kind of desperately need to believe that most of these people are fucking morons, because I can't live amongst people who actually wanted this

My favorite Kurt Vonnegut quote--"you are what you pretend to be"--comes from Mother Night, a novel about an American spy who pretends to be a Nazi propagandist only to realize later in life he was just being a Nazi propagandist

elon musk using IVF and CRISPR to ensure all of his children are male and then one transitioning to female boiled his brain so much he ends society as we know it is like the ultimate expression of family being the oldest kind of empire for the most pathetic kind of humans.

This is literally the opposite of video game preservation; it's video game erasure, exactly what corpos get a raging boner for. Suck the marrow out of existing game & procedurally contort them into soulless abominations for conveyor-belt cash. While the games itself become obscure. Incredibly bleak.

They’ll lay you off if your game isn’t a hit. They’ll lay you off if your game is a hit. They’ll award themselves and their friends millions of dollars thanks to your hard work either way. The so-called “AAA” game industry is built on pure indecency and rotten to the core.

It’s always worth having a pinch of salt handy for what former spooks say, but in the case of Trump there are longstanding suggestions he was cultivated by the KGB during his 1987 Moscow trip; it was unlikely to have happened without them. This piece is from 2021. It’s not new, just relevant again.

True story: a few years ago, I was being interviewed by a reporter for the New York Times. I mentioned the history of eviction statutes and how they tied into Jim Crow. The reporter asked "what's Jim Crow?" When I explained, the reporter didn't believe me and said the US wouldn't do that.

The fact that his human design was made around a gacha skin probably influenced a lot about how it turned out, I wish I could take a look at what his design could have been in a universe where Riot still cared about delivering the best for players

Please stop believing we don’t owe each other anything. We owe each other so much! We owe each other love, equity, understanding, community, compassion, and much more. Don’t let this toxic hyper individualism cut you off from humanity. We’re all connected. We all need each other.

Measles has a 12% mortality rate in unvaccinated young children. Children cannot be vaccinated until they are at least 12 months old. And if infants need to be kept home and out of daycare to avoid potentially fatal measles outbreaks... Guess who that removes from the workforce. (Women.)

I was on Twitter in 2009. The first time my art ever went viral was bc Wil Wheaton rt’d it. I made a lot of friends, fans and contacts on Twitter. Twitter. Is. Dead. It’s “x” now. It’s not the place we all loved to hang out, anymore. It was killed and now Nazis are infesting the corpse. Leave it.

It might hurt my bottom line, but I’m probably going to stop posting art to Twitter entirely and I suggest you do too. Not only is the site actively putting a “Okay, now remix this” button below art (and elevating them above the OP with a QRT) and it’s false flagging original art as made by AI.
