James Bond’s death in No Time to Die is causing a nightmare for the next film. Writers are stuck because Bond “was blown to pieces.”

I think a number of press outlets badly want there to be a groundswell of anti-trans feeling, because the ownership/senior editorial of those papers have absolutely cooked their own brains on transphobia. It seems to be largely an elite psychosis!
the harris campaign said the “they/them” ad didn’t sway the election.
one of the trump campaign’s top strategists this week said trans rights isn’t in the top five issues for swing voters.
when will the press stop talking about us like we’re a liability and start looking itself in the mirror

Between "excited to play Battlefield 6" only for EA to sell out to the Saudis, and "excited to play Arc Raiders" only for it to use genAI...I'm saving lots of money on unbought games this season, at least. Be great if the industry could suck a little less kthx bye
Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.
They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

These ChatGPT spam emails kill me, because they're based on the blurb and inevitably get the details hilariously wrong. "As I read Castaways, I was especially drawn to the moment Amy first steps into the Saunders Academy, that eerie sense of wonder mixed with foreboding as the storm rages outside."
