Your occasional reminder that: like Disco before it, Ska is a music genre specifically about racial integration, and approaches that social change through positivity with upbeat inclusive music.
…So of course there was a movement to brand it as “uncool”, “cringe” and “over.”

This is the kind of thing that sounds like a bit, but is actually 100% real.

In Mr Beast’s new video, a woman is alone for two weeks on a platform in the sky. and each day, a balloon is released at an inopportune moment for her. And if she fails to shoot the balloon with an arrow, they take a small portion of the platform that is her home

i think if you use genai for anything, even writing an email, you're both a moron and a huge baby, and i dont want to play your video game as a result. its not that hard!
As the backlash to generative AI in video games continues to pick up steam heading into 2026, it'll be fascinating to see what is considered "made with generative AI." Can a dev team say they're not using AI if they're writing design docs with Copilot or using chatGPT to make schedules and budgets?

The expression “You’re born alone and you die alone” is extremely weird because, at least for the first part, like, your mom is *right there.*

This is absurd. Would you just allow other plagiarism "with disclosure"? Urge you to change this immediately so as not to tarnish the awards and the writers associated with them. No AI is a simple policy, and the only reasonable policy in this space.

I have just learned that there is going to be a desktop version of Procreate and I am so happy. May not get it for a few years, but finally, FINALLY they are letting us all break up with Adobe.

You shouldn't give Microsoft any more money than you currently do. You should consider dropping them entirely, not JUST because they give tons of money to Trump. But ALSO....

On the Science Centre closure, the provincial government "claimed the roof was imminently about to collapse. We now know that the roof has not collapsed winter after winter. In fact, the roof has more integrity than the Ford government itself," says Councillor Josh Matlow.

ragging on a top game studio for using LLM placeholder text is maybe not the most efficient use of time with all the fires currently burning
