Holidays can be really hard. Especially for queer people. Especially right now.
If you're struggling right now, please reach out to your friends and let them know. You don't have to be alone.
You don't have to face what's happening alone.

"Wow, all these textile workers sure are upset at being laid off. But I, the owner of all these fancy new steam looms, think they are being so unreasonable. In fact they are childish! They ought to understand that what's really important is that I want to make more textiles faster."

the disdain for workers losing their livelihoods just drips off of this whole fucking thing like mud off a pig. The smug confidence of a man who has convinced himself that HE is definitely uniquely irreplaceable, only LESSER work is under threat.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

while industry figures, dressed to the nines, filtered into LA's peacock theater last week, protesters chanted "the industry is dead" outside of it. despite how often geoff keighley says the game awards exist to "celebrate" games and the people who make them, many feel ignored
!["We are the ones who poured our blood, sweat, tears, sanity, and health into these games,” shouted one who paid tribute to a friend who’d just passed, who he said loved video games and hated corporate exploitation. “The ones who made the games are outside. [Bosses and executives] are inside patting themselves on the back. ... And what was our reward? Many of us were cast aside as soon as the products were created because we weren't needed anymore. And those who were lucky enough to stay [now] find themselves debugging ChatGPT code."
Some present had direct personal experience with the video game industry’s current layoff-centric strategy. Earlier this year, Timothy Staton-Davis, who attended the protest dressed in a grim reaper cloak and holding a plastic scythe, was part of a small round of layoffs at Brass Lion Entertainment, which is currently working on Wu-Tang: Rise Of The Deceiver.
“There were a few of us they had to let go of because of monetary issues,” Staton-Davis told Aftermath. “It’s their first game. They’re trying to pull through. They’ve been negatively affected by the current industry situation in a lot of ways because of mismanagement of money. It’s not the studio’s fault, but from our partners and all that kind of stuff.”
“My first studio gig was at Monolith,” he continued. “Now they’re gone. Unfairly so. All these studios I’ve been connected to have been negatively affected in some way, shape, or form by people not doing the right things with their money and taking advantage of folks.”](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreifyv7erpamrntagfmpqwndofhftfpiszgguefbunyy6iyz6dhavxy@jpeg)

This is fucking grim. Somebody invented a white guy, an "IT professional" named Edward Crabtree, who stopped the Bondi shooting and spread it all over the internet, which was picked up by AI agents and slop aggregation sites.
The real hero is a fruit stand owner named Ahmed el Ahmed.

I dream of the day when most video game publishers will credit the artists who create their animations and will not temporarily prohibit them (aka embargo) from saying that they worked on these animations...

Epic pays for licensing fees for the games they give away for free as promotions. Which means even if YOU aren't paying for it, you're giving money to JK Rowling to harm transgender people AND elevating her stature by giving her franchise higher numbers.

This is a very good dissection of the “homophobes are secretly gay” trope that some “allies” are a little too excited to throw around

Love to see the Sedgwick County Zoo putting out a good explainer on why GenAI slop videos of animals are a problem & how to identify them! It’s succinct, easy to read, and doesn’t shame people for not knowing better. A+ useful link to share with family and friends.

The Reality of AI Animal Content – Sedgwick County Zoo
If you spend any time on social media, you’ve probably seen them – bears bouncing on trampolines, apes caught on doorbell cameras, or “rescued” wild animals acting in ways that seem too good to be…

It's so fucking stupid. It's so fucking enraging. Russia got kicked out no problem upon starting a war, but noooo we gotta have pop music from the apartheid and genocide state. Fuck me.
If you ever want to know the cult of genocidal support Israel has established in the "never again, unless" Europe, consider that Eurovision would overwhelmingly rather have a genodical apartheid country committing endless war crimes on board than the Netherlands, Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia.
