If you care about the performing arts, give your money and attention to those who are engaged in the practice, not to those who want to press a button and monetize fame & past practice into fake stuff at the expense of the struggling, and sometimes starving, performers of the present and the future.

As always the most astonishing thing about the Starmer government is how despite having almost all of the hallmarks of a government that would be expected to last for another 8 years including a majority that should insulate it from all trouble, it feels like it's going to collapse before Christmas.

And just because I wanted to see all the goobers together, I took the full-body pics from their respective sheets and slapped 'em together.
It's not perfect, but I'm awfully darn proud of how these turned out both art-wise and character design-wise.

I think a lot of the anger this morning stems from a feeling that we did our part, but they did not do theirs. This is an oversimplification, but my dudes, no wonder people are like, “OK, let’s try the democratic socialist, then.”

"If the other side doesn't hold up their end of the bargain, then, by golly, we're going to be very annoyed and wag their finger at them. We might even put out a strongly worded statement saying how upset we are that they didn't honour the agreement. That'll show 'em!"
Agree.
Sen Hassan, asked what will happen if Republicans don't carry out the deal, "Well, shame on them."
This is not what people were mobilizing for on Oct 18.

Being an animator is an intimate understanding of life, environments, physics, what it MEANS to be alive, and the ability to convey the beauty within our world in seconds.

Black American soldiers literally dug these WWII graves. Traumatic. To acknowledge that fact at a cemetery they helped construct is something the Heritage Foundation cannot accept. As Veterans Day approaches, never forget that this country both compels and disrespects Black military service. Always.
1/ The US Government has quietly removed a memorial to Black soldiers who died in World War II from the Netherlands American Cemetery in Margraten, South Limburg. The move follows a complaint from the right-wing Heritage Foundation to the American Battle Monuments Commission. ⬇️

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.

Something worth noting: Rockstar is leaning HEAVILY on the excuse that the unionising employees were "leaking private company information"
They want people to assume this means game info or assets.
But I will bet you CASH MONEY this translates to:
'they were comparing salaries and work contracts"

Hey folks, as news of Watson's demise spreads, please don't set aside his weighty legacy of misogyny and racism. He was truly among the worst of us. www.vox.com/2019/1/15/18...
DNA scientist James Watson has a remarkably long history of sexist, racist public comments
“People say it would be terrible if we made all girls pretty,” he said in 2003. “I think it would be great.”

IIRC there were rumours and leaks speaking of a planned delay since earlier this year, but the timing of them announcing it DEFINITELY feels calculated to drown out the news of their union busting bullshit
For some reason the media is not mentioning that the reason GTA6 is being delayed is they fired 40 staff over threats of unionization and now the rest of their staff are revolting

It's one thing if you don't know or just made a mistake. No need to breathe down someones neck b/c its harder to tell nowadays.
But if you do know (ESPECIALLY IF YOU DO KNOW) even if you're posting it to make fun of it or sharing it unironically... consider not doing that.
