Awful. It's been altered in so many ways beyond "colourisation". The kid has an entirely different face! AI is being used in so many ways to undermine history, information, even reality.

Learned that I am being laid off from Heart Machine, and will be leaving the studio later this month.

Do you need a contractor? I've got a track record of leading scope-friendly script revisions late in dev. I have also done a lot of consulting on new IPs and pitches/demos. Feel free to DM me!

I get a lot of people asking how they could support us, and this is one of the ways: be one of the kind, positive people who listens to our interviews, who shares our voice in good faith whenever you can. You can seize our voice back for us. Seriously.

amused by the use of the term "calvinball" to describe the trump administration's absolute contempt for actual laws but also distressed because calvin was not a white supremacist

It's just how it is, but every once in a while I'm absolutely astounded by how many blatant lies the most powerful people in this country tell every day.

It sucks that all my amazing artist and writer associates constantly have to beg for cash. It's nice that we can come together and support them as a community but it would be better if some sort of government body took a small portion of everyones income and basically distrubuted it universally

they reinvented twitter from first principles right as the most drugged out man in the world destroyed the last good bits of twitter. smart mgmt would realize that theyโ€™re just in the twitter business now, like how slack realized their pitch was irc for work after nobody cared about their game

Consumer-facing "A.i." is controlled by rightwing billionaires with an interest in spreading disinfo. Excise it from your lives, friends. It's trash.

just sent in my letter, and you should do the same here! bit.ly/KSRUletter

be sure to mention if you're a backer, and even more if you're a creator!

This week, the Global Sumud Flotilla tried to deliver life-saving aid to Gaza.

Instead, 461 peopleโ€”including New Yorkersโ€”have been detained by the Israeli military.

They must be freed at once. And the deliberate starvation of Palestinians must end now.

Hi folks

TL;DR: my back molar cracked and infection is spreading to my jaw, we need to have it removed & have a bone graft in place. insurance doesn't cover the bone graft, so I am asking to raise some money to help with offsetting a loan & recovery time due to surgery

You architected a shitty system then.

People said "hello, this person is violating the TOS you laid out" and you said "well yes, but we will change the rules so he's ok"

If anyone's got things they need a writer for, let me know. October's going to be a weird month as finances are running low and unemployment's not going to make up the gap, so anything that'll help work-wise is greatly appreciated!

This is everything I thought it would be and worse. Genuinely, viscerally repulsive work. I feel like you have to be ghoulishly and fundamentally broken to find any bit of this okay.

Hi Internet! I'm Drew and THIS IS MY FACE.

If this GIF has ever brought you joy in the past, I humbly ask you to consider making a donation to the National MS Society. It would mean a lot to me and to those I know affected by the disease!

Plus the "dream job" aspect where you're told you should feel lucky that you get to be a part of this industry no matter what it does to you, no matter how it treats you. As if mistreatment is a necessary part of that dream.

Tell me again, cultural critic, how you don't believe the BDS approach is effective and that their demands are unrealistic because you don't want to stop playing with your toys.
