An excellent article from the BBC on the situation at Build A Rocket Boy. IWGB Game Workers stand shoulder to shoulder with Ben, Isaac, and Marg, who have demonstrated enormous courage in speaking out against corporate mismanagement. This is what solidarity looks like.

I was looking at Reform's policy again the other day. They're proposing a £60k salary for people on ILR keeping their visa. Which means pretty much every nurse on ILR would be a risk. It's insane.
Apropos of nothing, I really do think UK journalists and politicians need some reminding that mass deportation of LEGAL immigrants, particularly those with permanent status, is far more extreme than even Trump's America and would basically place Britain completely on its own among democracies.

Petro objected to the US bombing a Columbian fishing vessel that had the emergency beacon on because they were broken down, that we subsequently bombed. One Columbian fisherman survived the attack.
This is the official US response to Petro's comments.

You just do things cause the government tells you to? Without question? Even if it's against yours and everyone else's best interests?

‘AI is here to stay and change things’: Mad Max director George Miller on why he is taking part in an AI film festival
The director believes AI has made film-making ‘way more egalitarian’ – and is set to lead the judges at Omni AI film festival in Australia
There’s no arguing the use of artificial intelligence in film-making is getting a bad rap. Last week’s unveiling of Hollywood’s first AI “actress”, Tilly Norwood, generated howls of protest from actors’ unions across the UK and US, where the industry is still reeling from last year’s 118-day strike over, among other issues, the threat of AI.
And earlier this week, Australia’s Productivity Commission was pilloried by Liberals and Greens alike for failing to recognise the dire impact AI may have on the country’s creative industries. Continue reading...

Fun to revisit my Silent Hill f preview post-launch to see how much I nailed engaging with its mechanics and themes early on. Just an antidote to the vibe I see from some that preview coverage is pointless and just marketing.
I'm already obsessed with Silent Hill f after 5 hours thanks to its incredible story and atmosphere, but I'm anxious about the parry-heavy combat
Hands-on | After playing the first five hours of Silent Hill f, this fresh take on the series is incredibly confident and self-assured for good reason, though its combat can feel overengineered

It is morally wrong to want a computer to be sentient. If you owned a sentient thing, you would be a slaver. If you want sentient computers to exist, you just want to create a new kind of slavery. The ethics are as simple as that. Sorry if this offends

This is grim & dangerous over reach.
This is a government that have lost the moral argument & are still selling arms to Israel. Now further cracking down on dissent.
Absolutely the opposite of what they should be doing - so of course this is what the Labour Government choose.

NEW: Home Office announces planned new anti-protest powers, mainly aimed at pro-Gaza protests like those for Palestine Action. Police will be able to consider the "cumulative impact" of repeated protests and potentially order that they be relocated.

It's fascinating and revealing how many centrists think refusing to compromise on human rights to gain the support of bigots represents a "political purity test," yet also think that a bigot saying "I won't join you unless you accommodate my bigotry" does NOT represent a "political purity test."

Increasingly, I feel as if these self-proclaimed coalition builders talking about "winning the middle" aren't talking about the people they hope to win over. Rather, they're talking about themselves, and defining what it will take to keep them in the tent. Not opposed to purity tests; issuing them.

Really? Because 5 years ago he said the left wasn't bold enough in talking up the benefits of migration.

Unoriginal take but it still bothers me that people were easily moved enough to unsubscribe from Disney+ over Kimmel, effectively boycotting over his mistreatment, but will be pro-Palestine and still not even bother attempting to boycott anyone on the BDS list.
