AI generated content disclosure via Arc Raider's Steam page: The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: During the development process, we may use procedural- and AI-based tools to assist with content creation. In all such cases, the final product reflects the creativity and expression of our own development team.

Not to be the fun police but I do hope people know that Arc Raiders does use generative AI for voice acting, and by supporting the game you're letting higher-ups know that this is an okay practice.

They try to downplay this on the Steam store page by describing the AI usage as vaguely as possible.

HUGE NEWS! Because of Democratic pressure, Oregon SNAP recipients are reporting their cards have the FULL November benefits!
 
Everyone who called out Trump for using hungry children and seniors as a bargaining chip has WON with tremendous results!!

Wondering why no one likes your posts anymore, even among your friends? It's because @jay.bsky.team and team have decided to hide a huge amount of content from all of our feeds by default.

Here's how to turn it off.

First go to the hamburger menu in the upper left corner

@cait.bsky.social I garfed your son, sorry

if you're ever Photoshopping your own face into the smoke of the Twin Towers, Adobe should have a pop-up that says "are you sure that whatever it is you're doing is a good idea"

A four frame comic about Captain Torture. The first frame shows the sign "BREAKING NEWS" and the drawing of a man, with the words "CAPTAIN TORTURES PASSES AWAY" near him. The second frame shows a journalist holding a mic, as she says "A controversial and divisive figure, Captain torture will be remembered for his key role in history." The News title is "Mourning day for Captain-". The third frame shows three posts on social media. The first one is by a man called Paul James @Paulitician. He writes: "I didn't always agree with Captain Torture but he sure was a man who believed in something." The second post by James Paul @Avegetable reads: "I pay my respects to Captain Torture and his family. His heart was in the right place- with our country." The third post is by SonicVomit @SonicBleh , and reads "HE TORTURED PEOPLE". The fourth frame shows an interview on TV. An angry man on the right is saying: "Let me tell you something, Jen. I think it's SICK to celebrate Captain Torture's death. These people should be LOCKED UP, and also tortured-". The news below says: "Every president on earth pays homage-".

public service announcement

A digital poster in the style of a World War II propaganda piece. Isolaed on a yellow background, a normal, squarish, 20-something guy with glasses is sitting working on a laptop. A ghostly figure of Hitler has his arm around the guy and is grinning and shaking a fist triumphantly looking at the laptop screen. On the lid of the laptop where an apple might otherwise be is an openAI logo, bright green, and dripping green ooze down the lid. Text on the poster, in combinations of sans-serif type and brush script reads: Using Generative AI? You’re prompting with Hitler! GenAI is a Fascist Project! Try using your brain instead Don’t surrender your creativity to the tech billionaire’s control

New awareness campaign

i pretend i do not see the backwards date and 24-hour clock because i foolishly didn't make sure i was getting a USA-code cartridge instead of the EUR one i actually bought

a photo of animal crossing: wild world showing the player character standing in front of their house wearing green glasses, a green wizard hat with white stars, and a matching green and white dress.

a photo of animal crossing: new leaf showing the player character standing inside their house wearing green glasses, a green wizard hat with white stars, and a matching green and white dress. the default blue and white striped stockings with red shoes that can't be changed in wild world have also been included.

assembled the same outfit in new leaf that i cobbled together in wild world and i think it's neat :) almost 20 years later and i'm still having fun 💚

A poster that says Did you see: -a tent in the woods? -someone shoplifting? -a person sleeping in their car? NO YOU FUCKING DIDNT people are struggling don't make it worse

We refuse to let neighbors go hungry while politicians posture. We can stand up a street-level safety net in days. Neighborhood plan: "Block Food Steward" model One steward per block. A volunteer with a single shelf or 2-3 totes of staples who coordinates quiet, no-shame help. Starter shelf (suggested): 10 lb rice • 10 lb dry beans • 8 lb pasta 12 cans vegetables • 12 cans protein (tuna/chicken/beans) 2 large peanut butter • 2 shelf-stable milk packs • 1 cooking oil Baby formula (sealed), diapers (mixed sizes), wipes, soap, toothpaste

How it works: 1. Steward posts once to the block group: "I've got a small shelf of staples. DM 'BAG' no questions asked." 2. Keep a simple in/out tally; rotate oldest first; replace what's used. 3. If demand spikes, steward pings the block: "NEED: 6 cans, 2 pastas, diapers size 4." 4. For larger needs, handoff to a local food bank. Privacy and dignity first—no photos, no public names. Comment to volunteer: STEWARD - [Your Street Name] Comment to donate: DONOR - [Item or $ pledge] Need help? DM me the word BAG. No shame.

Volunteer at food banks this week. Show up for a 2-hour shift. Sorting, bagging, intake, there's a role for everyone. Donate smart. Shelf-stable staples first; ask for priority items before dropping off. Be kind to clerks. They didn't create this mess. They're catching the fallout. Hunger is not a negotiating tactic. Contact your state and federal reps today and demand: An immediate SNAP/WIC bridge with retroactive benefits. No more hostage-taking of basic nutrition assistance.

De-link food aid from unrelated fights. Fix the pipeline, then debate policy. No politics at the pantry door. We help first, argue later. No purity tests. If someone says they're short on food, we feed them. Dignity and privacy. DM, porch drop-offs, initials only. Safety: sealed formula only, check dates, store cool/dry, pet-safe. The Timeline? Tonight: Name stewards; seed each shelf with a starter kit. Within 48 hours: Every block has at least one steward, a group text, and a small reserve.

HOW TO ORGANIZE YOUR NEIGHBORHOOD FOR THE END OF SNAP

This is important. This came to me overnight through a group organizing in the PNW. Please consider adopting these strategies where you live. YOU WILL SAVE LIVES. SNAP runs out 11-1.

Start a block/neighborhood channel on Signal and get to work.

it's hard to be excited and just makes me more sad/bitter (you totally can't tell, right) that it's still incomplete this long after launch

with this new update to new horizons i can't wait to keep playing wild world and new leaf and not giving that limping hollow corpse of a game any more of my time ☺

i think if you ride public transit enough you learn that most weird behavior is not dangerous, and conversely i think driving a car teaches you that everyone is trying to kill you at all times

y'all be like "depression meals" then panic when a real slophead shows up. if i told you all the shit i did with white bread growing up you'd hurl

ordering takeout is the wallet-killer... i must be happy with what i can cook in the house...

Honestly I think far too many of the "let's be fake racist against AI and robots by using these jokey new slurs" crowd are a little too comfortable in the bit.

The FUCKING EYEBALLS. Anytime disability biotech comes up I think about those people with the bionic eyes whose company stopped supporting the tech when they went bankrupt.

Tweet by @night margin "digital artist woes" image of the same color gradient on various screen (monitor 1 appears very grey purple, phone appear VERY pink, monitor 2 appears a more saturated purple, laptop appears brownish red, family's phone appears much darker and bluer etc.)

Listen to me. Listen. If you're making images that will only be displayed on screens, YOU HAVE TO LET GO. You can calibrate your screens perfectly, but then 25k people will see it on their shitty $50 monitors or cracked phone and its out of your hands. Don't think of it. Achieve enlightenment.

is it crunchy? do i miss the quality of life improvements from new leaf? kinda, yeah, but i missed all the other things we lost along the way so much more, like getting to make constellations with celeste 🌟

i caved to the yearning for another copy of animal crossing: wild world since my original has been missing for over a decade and this is it, this is home
