NEW: a contractor is paying random people $300 to physically track immigrants for ICE. They're given addresses, vehicles, told to monitor the target. That information then goes back up to ICE. These are not licensed private investigators; members of the public

Contractor Paying Random People $300 to Physically Track Immigrants for ICE
“The more I listened to it, the more I’m like, something doesn’t sound right,” a person who was briefed on the pilot plans told 404 Media.

This was a really great conversation between 404 Media's @emanuelmaiberg.bsky.social and Bloomberg's @jasonschreier.bsky.social about the existential crisis facing the video game industry, and especially what is happening with Microsoft/Xbox www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ydF...

My other take on getting laid of is: it's homophobic to fire a gay person right at the end of pride month. #fuckmicrosoft

UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese now also names Microsoft among 48 corps aiding the genocide. Based on the reporting from earlier this year but perhaps lends credence beyond BDS's (and my own) claim that Microsoft is complicit.

don’t worry everybody, Microsoft had to lay off 9,000 people today so they could literally give 100 million more dollars in AI funding to Israel

I hate to post this today, with all the news, but the genocide goes before all. Microsoft confirms it is supporting the genocide with AI tech. Israel never does anything but hurt Palestinians in Gaza, so "it's not used to harm Palestinians" is bullshit.

Microsoft confirm they've supplied AI tech to the Israeli military for use in Gaza, following BDS Xbox boycott
Microsoft have finally spoken out about reports that they have supplied tech for the Israeli military's attack on Gaza, after calls for a boycott of Xbox games.

Microsoft is about to lay off another 9,000 workers.

This news follows two waves of layoffs in May and June, where Microsoft fired more than 6,000 employees.

The company made $88 billion in profits last year.

Got laid off yesterday by MSFT, but good riddance because they are literal murderers

Does anyone want this? The thing I find so interesting about Elden Ring is the way it deliberately obscures player understanding of a cohesive lore and narrative. Even with this director, I expect the translation to film will lose that magic.

A live-action Elden Ring movie from A24 and Alex Garland is in the works
It's real: Garland is writing and directing it, and George RR Martin is involved.

TheWrap published a new report about Valnet facing a lawsuit over exploitative work conditions.

Definitely required reading for some of the difficulties journalists face these days.

This statement is 100% unwell

“This moment marks a powerful reaffirmation of our deep commitment to gaming, a space we’ve passionately invested in for years... At Valnet, we’re not just participants in this space; we are its undisputed leader, and today, that leadership has never felt stronger.”

Curious about Clair Obscur. I mean, it looks, idk... out there? Wacky? Slick? Not to mention incredibly well received.

Making my website from scratch is one of the best ideas I've ever had. Truly a joy. I want to turn the cursor into something fun. Do they still make sites dedicated entirely to gif cursors??
