Today there was an attempted ICE raid in Bensonhurst & community members showed up. Even though NYPD collaborated with ICE by trying to disburse the crowd; community members stood their ground & ICE left without kidnapping a single person per the rapid response groups I'm on. We protect us!

Love me some labor history! Listen to @austinkelmore.com make the pitch for why we game workers should be organizing.
It's out! My chat with Callum Cant for the Notes From Below podcast was a lot of fun.
We talked through why we need to organize and unionize the video games industry, what that looks like in practice, and started by talking about the Rockstar situation.

Execs are trying to muddy the waters around Gen-AI as a ‘push against all AI’ because they hear the unified dissent and they want to crush it via division. Don’t let them. Say it louder. Every time you see a statement like this, push back harder. Let them know you see them exactly for who they are.
"Surely there's a middle ground here?" The CEO of Helldivers 2 studio Arrowhead says people "jump to extreme takes" when debating generative AI, and that there needs to be more nuance in the discussion.

So I did the thing after some encouragement to update the goal. Not fussed if we don't hit it, but that cushion would make the next 3 -4 months much easier since job hunting is... demoralizing at best.
Hopefully no one sees this as greedy, or milking folks who want to help out. gofund.me/68950306a
