I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

This is the 7th year I'm doing an @extralife4kids.bsky.social stream on Twitch from 10pm UK time on Friday 7th Nov.
I would love for you to tune in and watch (and say hi!), tell your friends, raid in, and if you are able to afford to donate that would also be epic 💜 💙 #ExtraLife2025

I'd like to see artists and record companies go after the AI industry as hard as when they went after individual Napster/Limewire users back in the 2000s.
I just don't understand how unprecedented copyright theft is acceptable now it's billion dollar Silicon Valley companies doing it.

I wish I knew why, despite having a terrible memory for most things, the mere mention of "crushing grapes" during the Friday afternoon quiz at work, made me mentally jump to Stu Francis on Crackerjack, circa 1984 - www.youtube.com/watch?v=aa2Z...

Listening back to some old interview podcasts from 2020.
Not sure which is more jarring, the discussions of lockdown changes interspersed with urgent warnings from the government, downloaded at the time. Or, with newly downloaded versions, jaunty ads for going outside and doing things™.

Prescribed some medication to help with my insomnia.
"May cause drowsiness"
I'd be more worried if it didn't 🤣

Back in 2021, PMG reported on the unseen games industry crunch taking place at outsourcing studios in SE Asia.
Since then, the companies we looked at have continued to work on some of the biggest games in the world, without any push to improve the conditions of the artists doing that work. (1/7)

I've been meaning to cut down my usage of Amazon Prime and ordering directly from other companies.
First time and my parcel has gone missing at the courier. They keep sending updates that seem like outright lies at this point.
We've come along way from "allow 28 days for delivery", but also not.

Saw something recently that resonated. If you manage folks with ADHD you have to understand their motivators:
Novelty
Interest
Challenge
Urgency
Passion
If something is boring and non-urgent for example, it’s very difficult to do.
You *cannot* motivate by threatening consequences.
