The amount of damage the Western world inflicts on itself to enable a genocidal Israel is historical. Financial damage, cultural damage, legal damage, reputational damage, and voluntarily opening their own people up to danger - all so the Israelis can murder.

I've been getting back into drawing lately and doing more master studies than I've ever done before (i.e. practically none until now). Taking a break from that though to try incorporating what I've learned in an original drawing.

So many people are self sabotaging by deskilling via this nonsense right now. Want an edge in 2027? Don’t build reliance on bad tools into your process in 2025.
Relying on ChatGPT to teach you about a topic leaves you with shallower knowledge than Googling and reading about it, according to new research that compared what more than 10,000 people knew after using one method or the other.

I see them use the "evidence based" line they use to deny trans health care and plead with everyone to see the wedge they drove in
A CDC website that previously said vaccines do not cause autism has walked back that statement. It now repeats the skepticism that Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has voiced about the safety of vaccines.
C.D.C. Website No Longer Rejects Possible Link Between Autism and Vaccines
A previous version denied a link between vaccines and autism. It now echoes the doubts about that conclusion voiced by Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

It's incredibly fucked up that a beginner could post art looking for help, and then spend the next week being relentlessly made fun of with endless mocking imitations of what they posted.

I cannot say that I'm TERRIBLY surprised that a survey comprised exclusively of only ~500 GDC attendees reveals that people who are still getting their companies to pay 1000+ dollars to attend after years of mass layoffs skews heavily towards very very senior AAA leadership & management tbh
This is the GDC salary survey breakdown
1) approximately 5 people answered that they make over $1,000,000
2) the percentages add up to 103% lol

this is so cart-before-horse to me. i don't accept that people's attention spans are shorter in a way that has to matter. the problem is that we keep thinking that and "complying in advance" with the imagined boogieman of "people not paying attention nowadays". nothing done in that direction helps
You wanna know why we're having nag line discourse in 2025? Because developers know we're fighting an attention economy war we'll lose no matter what. Players don't read, have TikTok open next to them, god forbid we are scared you miss something and then blame us for not giving you all the info.
