cbs owns local public news and national entertainment channels, and it’s run by billionaire cowards who flatten journalism with entertainment at the cost of public interest and first amendment rights. cbs’s repeated capitulation to a thin-skinned authoritarian like trump puts all workers at risk!
The following is a statement from the Writers Guild of America East (WGAE) and Writers Guild of America West (WGAW) on Paramount’s Decision to Cancel “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert”.

Sorry, no: Lawyers who defend stripping birthright citizenship from 150,000 infants a year deserve to have that held against them. Forever.
We should shame every lawyer who defends this egregiously unconstitutional cruelty. They are a stain on the legal profession.

She co-wrote an amicus brief for Tennessee as an employee of the state. It's not like she's on the forefront of the issue. Attorneys shouldn't be penalized for zealously advocating the position of a client. What should be held against her is everything else she's done. afj.org/nominee/whit...

microsoft laid off 6,000+ workers and invested $80 BILLION in AI (which may necessitate annual headcount reduction). today bloomberg reported microsoft is planning another round of layoffs. we need AI regulation in legislation and union CBAs—not tone deaf execs telling unemployed ppl to embrace AI
Matt Turnbull, Executive Producer at Xbox Game Studios Publishing - after the Microsoft layoffs - suggesting on Linkedin that may maybe people who have been let go should turn to AI for help. He seriously thought posting this would be a good idea.
![Post from Matt Turnbull:
These are really challenging times, and if you’re navigating a layoff or even quietly preparing for one, you’re not alone and you don’t have to go it alone.
I know these types of tools engender strong feelings in people, but I'd be remiss in not trying to offer the best advice I can under the circumstances. I’ve been experimenting with ways to use LLM AI tools (like ChatGPT or Copilot) to help reduce the emotional and cognitive load that comes with job loss.
Here are some prompt ideas and use cases that might help if you're feeling overwhelmed:
Career Planning Prompts:
“Act as a career coach. I’ve been laid off from a [role] in the game industry. Help me build a 30-day plan to regroup, research new roles, and start applying without burning out.”
“What kinds of game industry jobs could I pivot to with experience in [Production/Narrative/LiveOps/etc.]?”
Resume & LinkedIn Help
“Here’s my current resume. Give me three tailored versions: one for AAA, one for platform/publishing roles, and one for startup/small studio leadership.”
“Rewrite this resume bullet to highlight impact and metrics.”
“Draft a new LinkedIn ‘About Me’ section that focuses on my leadership style, shipped titles, and vision for game development.”
Networking & Outreach
“Draft a friendly message I can send to old coworkers letting them know I’m exploring new opportunities.”
“Write a warm intro message for reaching out to someone at [studio name] about a job posting.”
Emotional Clarity & Confidence
“I’m struggling with imposter syndrome after being laid off. Can you help me reframe this experience in a way that reminds me what I’m good at?”
No AI tool is a replacement for your voice or your lived experience. But at a time when mental energy is scarce, these tools can help get you unstuck faster, calmer, and with more clarity.
If this helps, feel free to share with others in your network.
Stay kind, stay smart, stay connected.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:qpbuxrel3f3njvjw5rakf532/bafkreiei32dnyvihcdgifb5niw7rf65o2obawz5nschbc4czojo4ecgz4u@jpeg)

On April 5, workers are joining with our allies and community members across the country to tell President Trump and Elon Musk: Hands Off Our Unions! This is union-busting, plain and simple, and we won’t stand for it.

What if I told you that the only reason I am bald is that I’m afraid of a Ratatouille situation? What if I told you that I’d have so much hair if not for the fear of a rat using me like a puppet? These are modes of control, Neo. This is how they manipulate us. Ratatouilles, Neo. Rats that pull hair.
