Reposting this today.

For no particular reason at all.

All those Fanciest Cat competitions.

And credited with their proper role on the project.

Posted by Block Club Chicago: "Cycling x Solidarity's latest mutual aid effort takes cyclists on group rides through Pilsen and other neighborhoods to buy out tamale vendors so they can stay home as ICE swarm the city. They pass out to food to people in need."

Forgive me, Chicago, I was not aware of your game

Wait for it.

What's it like inside my head?

I'm absolutely in awe how we don't have a representative government anymore.

It takes 30 days to grow a radish. Also 2/3 of the country is already in or entering winter.

Everything about gaming right now feels like it is determined to drive me away as a consumer and a creator.

Blue-collar crime, maybe.
White-collar crime? That never shows up on cameras.

irl employers wanna recreate the joja cola hellscape from the intro to stardew valley

Because the press
A) Wants to still have access to the WH, because ratings
B) Have owners who are cool with the fascism and slop
C) Are terrified that even the tiniest of Trump criticism will be met with some MAGAn with an assault rifle in their lobby
D) is going with a combo of the above

I think - and stop me if I'm in error there - he just talked himself out of getting the money.

Maybe he wants to lose this deal. Maybe he wants to cry victim tears that "he got sabotaged by woke" so he can walk away from something he knows deep down he fucked up.

Absolutely fuck all of this.

Happy Powerwash Simulator 2 Day to all who celebrate it.

I don’t know if there’s a more perfect illustration of the utter fucking nonsense that creative pollution by AI will produce than this choice to illustrate the power of Paramount’s new “localization” and “customization” technology by face-swapping Brad Pitt into the lead role of GET OUT

Remember those times i said we were headed for an epistemic crisis because bad people were gonna use deepfakes to make propaganda & conspiracy theories & destabilize consensus reality-making & how the central paradigm of "generative AI" enables, encourages, & was indeed built on this premise?

Yeah.

A tweet by Mark Kretschmann showing two photos of the xAI office on Grokipedia release day. The office is filled with small camping tents set up between desks and along hallways, suggesting that engineers have been sleeping there while working late. The caption notes it’s early morning and the engineers are still in their tents, joking that a good night’s sleep does wonders.

Absolutely obsessed with framing your employees sleeping on the floor as a humble brag

“Look how hard my team works” no dude you’re just bad at project management.

Competent companies ship products without cosplaying being homeless

so sorry to the devs who have no control over this decision. this sucks absolute ass

The X-Files, even in their most daffy, unhinged conspiratorial moments, never descended to this level of unhinged lunacy.

I don’t talk about it much because the situation doesn’t really change but it’s still insane to me what an enormous amount of really talented game developers are out of work. just whole studios worth of incredible people, often people who worked on beloved games, unemployed.
