Probably a hot take, but those of you who are hoping that the Epstein files will finally change minds are part of the reason why systemic racism sticks around. Also, this whole time could have been dedicated to helping the victims, but some of them are dead now. You only saw them as a moral tool.

Legitimately I'm convinced that the only reason I haven't gotten a popup like this is that my Google account is *mathematically impossible* to require an ID. I've had the account since 2008

I hope that one day Karoline Leavitt has to stand in front of a room of Epstein victims and explain to them what she means when she says, “It’s all a Democrat hoax.”

What the Epstein files show is the *solidarity* of many men-across class, race, religion, profession & party affiliation-in the global political project of keeping the boot on women's necks.
People have no problem understanding class solidarity among the rich. Why can't they see gender solidarity?

Like I dunno, maybe the reason it took a lady to break open the story of all the men protecting the dude trafficking underage girls is because the male journos were all emailing him making jokes about it?

Subliminal is actively no AI as well. I actively also don’t use it in coding or any other computer feature like co-pilot or ChatGPT either.
We don’t use generative AI at Strange Scaffold and I can confirm that a *lot* of other studios are not—whether indie or AAA.
Get outta here with this normalization bullshit.

The people who will most profit from this quality and connection-sapping technology being assumed to be inevitable, want you to give up on pushing against it today, by believing that fight is already over.
Don’t give in.
Don’t be fooled.
Don’t accept the thing already making our medium worse.

Is pressure increasing? Absolutely. Are investors and management pushing to “just try it”, hoping issues with the tech will resolve itself, and that developers and audiences will gradually get worn down and just accept it slipping into more and more of the work? For sure.
But it’s not there yet.

When Democrats say “Big tent politics” what they mean is they have taken us all hostage in their tent like we’re in “Clockwork Orange” and force us to watch while they continually platform bigots while saying they’re being “open-minded”.
