Twitter is the world’s largest generator of CSAM & non-consensual porn by a margin of about 8000%, and somehow… MSM isn’t even reporting on it.

(also includes advice for reporting ‘deepfake harassment’ to police if it escalates to a point where restraining order is necessary)

Cancel. Genuinely. Cancel. A rejection at the border is a permanent mark against entry, forever.

If you insist, follow dangerous territory protocols: know your embassy details, make sure someone knows your travel details, and have funds for emergency legal, health, and departure expenditures.

I often think about Jonathan Cooper's posts about TLOU2, that the studio ran out of seasoned game animators because its reputation was so bad and thus had to hire film folks who had to be taught how to put games together.

You don’t understand, we gotta burn out senior experienced devs, so we can keep having the same 5 discourses on a loop. There is a very real risk that if we treat people with respect and manage them well that we might have to stop re-debating basic terminology and practices.

AOC: I want everybody to understand that the cuts to your health care are what’s paying for this. You get screwed over to pay a bunch of thugs in the street that are shooting mothers in the face.

The sheer hubris and vanity of thinking you could remake Blade and somehow do a better job than the original was on par with building the Tower of Babel.

Moon Studios CEO Thomas Mahler and former Blizzard CEO Mike Ybarra got into a "fight" online during new years eve.
Both put another game down to highlight their game but then Mahler called out Ybarra for turning Diablo into an MTX slot machine.

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

Imagine being in opposition against Trump and having this low of an approval rating.

The US needs a real opposition party that is able to represent its people.
Democratic Party Approval Rating (not a typo)

🟢 Approve: 18% (-55)
🔴 Disapprove: 73%

We spoke to a dozen professional concept artists who are currently or have previously worked in game development about whether generative AI image tools have made their jobs any easier.

Zero said it did. Most said it made things harder.
