We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.
Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.

once again it is extra enraging when it's being used by organizations that we all know have ample money and proper business infrastructure to pay human artists, but are just looking for ways out of doing so, when the impact on their total budget has got to be like trimming fingernails to lose weight

What’s everyone’s least favorite Christmas song? I was reminded today that mine is Happy Holidays / The Holiday Season by Andy Williams. I love the happy holidays traditional part, but the whole middle/holiday season part feels like they forced Andy to improvise it

there's a house on my route to the local mall that has flown MAGA + Puerto Rico flags since we've lived here, and each time I drive by I look to see if a line has been crossed yet.
I think they've replaced the MAGA flag with a standard American flag 🫢

Reporter to Mamdani: President Trump says he loves NYC. Does NYC love President Trump?
Mamdani: NYC loves a future that is affordable, and I can tell you that there were more NYCers who voted for President Trump because of that focus on cost of living.
Trump: I got a lot of votes.

*sigh* I'll say it again: your A.I. generated ResistLib slopaganda doesn't have the effect on your target audience that you hope for. It doesn't make me dislike the President any more than I already do. It does make me think you are an unreliable source of credible opinion or information.

Teen Vogue's Closure and the Quiet Defunding of Worker Consciousness
Teen Vogue’s shutdown marks more than a media loss. This is a warning about how profit-driven consolidation quietly dismantles worker awareness and voice.

People believe that when you're LGBTIQ+ you come out once, but the reality is that every time you meet a new person, you have to study them to decide if it's a safe space to say it or not
