Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered.

Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again.

Their inaction is deadly.

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship.

Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.
This took a while to get done, but I've chronicled my day among the protesters in Los Angeles, and the idea that this is anything but a celebration of cultural heritage and a firm, nonviolent demand to protect family, friends and neighbors is totally ridiculous.

Cries of Defiance and Songs of Joy in Los Angeles
The protesters are being called unspeakably violent by the Trump administration. I mostly saw clergy sit-ins and Tejano bands.

ICE seemingly confirms they are using National Guard as security to conduct immigration raids.

Let's call this what it is, militarized ethnic cleansing.

I'm looking forward to it, especially Project 007-

However... Geoff, you kick indie developers off the stage for going over their allocated time, but you don't bat an eye when a celebrity's speech is 16 minutes long

Made this with a friend for the #fuckcapitalism2025 Game Jam on itch - cizclera.itch.io/whack-a-bill

This was my first gamedev project I've seen to some form of completion and had a damn fun time working on this.

Do give it a try and leave any and all feedback!

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh.

map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record."

i think it should be a bigger story that the president held a meeting with a foreign head of state where he ranted about the most gutter white supremacist propaganda you can find on the internet
