A sign has been installed in middle of cycle lane in Hobsonville 🪧😱

This is more than a 'contractor mistake' - it's a complete lack of common sense and poor process.

On opening night of the Vancouver Writer’s FestivaI, I was with seven other authors where we were given the prompt to talk about being a Canadian now under this new pressure from tariffs and talks of annexation by the US. Everyone spoke powerfully. (Cont’d)

Today, IGN laid off eight extremely valuable members of our union and workforce via directive from our parent company, Ziff Davis. This, after two incredibly successful live events IGN Live and SDCC, and yet another corporate acquisition.

Please take a moment to read and share our full statement:
Today, IGN Entertainment announced that it would be laying off eight members of the IGN Creators Guild. This is 12% of our bargaining unit, and comes just days after our sister union, the Ziff Davis Creators Guild, underwent similar layoffs impacting 15% of their members. It also comes just months after our multibillion-dollar parent company, Ziff Davis, instituted a company-wide buyout that shrunk our unit numbers, with the express intent of avoiding future layoffs. And it comes just a little over one year after three of our members were laid off almost immediately after our union went public. The company has told us that the reason for this layoff stems from a Ziff Davis-mandate to cut costs despite several quarters in a row of year-over-year revenue increases, to which IGN Entertainment responded by coming for our members' jobs. This is perplexing to us, as we are told again and again that IGN Entertainment has had a tremendously successful year thus far thanks to their hard work. In just the last few months, our members have been absolutely essential to major events and livestreams, including San Diego ComicCon, Summer of Gaming, and IGN Live. Every single person impacted today was involved in and critical to the success of those events. Meanwhile, IGN Entertainment continues to spend money on costly acquisitions, only to turn around and gut those companies in the same way it is cutting away at IGN itself. For instance, last year, it acquired Gamer Network, and almost immediately laid off a number of staff critical to making those sites successful. The company has not responded to the union's questions about whether its budget for future acquisitions is being reconsidered as a cost-saving measure alongside these other apparently necessary personnel cuts. At a time when it is more necessary than ever to support its creators, IGN Entertainment is choosing to eliminate the individuals who ensure IGN remains competitive as generative AI threatens our reach. We have been told that expert opinion pieces, original interviews, and work that leverages our staff's deep knowledge of gaming, tech, and entertainment are all essential to combating AI summarization and regurgitation of our work. Management has responded by cutting several individuals who do that exact work, as well as others whose job it is to ensure that these written and video pieces are published in a speedy manner — another component of combating AI we're told is critical. This continued cycle of repeated, aggressive cuts to our staff and being asked to do more with less, only for management to continue to spend on new business it isn't interested in sustaining cannot continue. We will enforce our interim agreement that guarantees better severance and other protections to laid off members, as well as demand additional support for those impacted. We will continue to bargain over our first contract with the aim of enshrining even better protections against further layoffs, working conditions continuously degraded by understaffing, and the encroachment of generative AI. And we won't stop fighting to ensure IGN remains the best destination for trustworthy, original, exciting, and creative work covering video games, entertainment, and tech. While IGN Entertainment management may not value us, we value one another and the incredible work we can do together. Behind the articles, videos, social posts, playlists, and maps of IGN are human beings, not just numbers on a spreadsheet to be pushed around when some number at the top isn't big enough. Without us, there is no IGN.

The irony is many tech companies eliminating their QA department because more productive eng have time for QA.

But as AI writes more of the software the engineers just QA the features as a debug layer between non-technical stakeholders.

So eng evolves back into QA.

Until it’s just stakeholders+Ai

Respect to @anntelnaes.bsky.social for quitting the Washington Post due to censorship over her on-point cartoon. More of this from artists and writers, please. Don't obey in advance, especially to the broligarchy.

4-panel comic by War and Peas. Panel 1: A group of cows gathers in what looks like a secret meeting room. A brown cow, standing at the head of the group, speaks: "It is once again time to discuss how to get rid of the human scum." Another cow asks, "Any ideas?" Panel 2: One cow replies, "We could fart." Panel 3: The cows collectively consider the plan, looking at a diagram showing a fart cloud eliminating humans. Panel 4: A newspaper headline reads "METHANE DESTROYING ENVIRONMENT!" accompanied by an image of coffee and a plate of bacon, hinting at the cows' revenge.

What Adobe has done with pricing in New Zealand is silent price hike under disguise of changing currency from AUD to NZD. Updated Photography plan monthly fee is increased by more than 3 NZD. That’s the steepest subscription increases in years in New Zealand, while Australia prices remain unchanged!

In other news, I signed up to teach crafts in 4-H this year! I would be nowhere as an artist without the time adults took to give you as a kid, to show you how or open a door for you. A chance to be proud of your work when you are desperate to create things. Being that adult now is the proper cycle.

Today marks 10 years since the release of the first big Bellingcat report on the origin of missile launcher that shot down flight MH17. In retrospect, a pivotal moment for me personally. Still a good example how digital open sources can be used to attribute real world events & fight disinformation.
