Starbucks @sbworkersunited.org baristas at corporate stores are fighting for respect and a fair contract while their CEO makes 6,666x what they do. If Starbucks won’t respect baristas, they don’t deserve our clicks and orders. Delete the Starbucks app!

Said this before, but it bears repeating: if you are in a signal group and you do not personally know every person in that group, under no circumstances should you EVER say anything incriminating.
Some things you only talk about with friends. Other things you simply do not talk about online.

I got to review Reanimal for Kotaku and, despite loving LNM I & II, I found Reanimal pretty boring. I think their demphasis of puzzles was a mistake because nothing takes its place. The result is a spooky walking sim with no pulse and way too many "crash bandicoot" style escape sequences.
Is Reanimal a fitting horror adventure successor to the beloved Little Nightmares series? Read our review: https://kotaku.com/reanimal-review-little-nightmares-3-horror-adventure-2000667716

The predominent anti-AI position on bsky is that AI is useless, fake, shit and basically the same as NFTs, destined to collapse in months once everyone sees how poor it is. So anyone who suggests that it could improve or be useful to any boss in any situation in the future must be evil.
