Canadian friends, your government is seeking commentary on GenAi strategies and policies.

Please let them know exactly how you feel about GenAi, it’s impacts, and what next steps should be! Perhaps it’s respecting artists works, environmental considerations and so on! Share your thoughts here 👇

A skeletal figure floats off the ground, wrapped in a cape made of autumn leaves. It wields a scythe adorned with a harvest of gourds.

Repostin' The Autumnal. Manifesting my seasonal mood.

I painted this one last weekend!
22"x30" oil on wood

A watercolour setup of paints brushes and pens on a table. A hand holds up a card with a painting of a red panda sitting in a branch, tail hanging down amongst some green foliage.

Making some cards.

‘This will not happen again’: Vancouver Park Board apologizes for hosting Harry Potter event A motion calling on the Vancouver Park Board to officially apologize for hosting an upcoming Harry Potter attraction passed Tuesday in a unanimous vote.

“A motion calling on the Vancouver Park Board to officially apologize for hosting an upcoming Harry Potter attraction passed Tuesday in a unanimous vote.”

A MAGA teenager was spurned by a teen girl so he sent pizza to her home to intimidate her. The police ignored it.

Then, he saw she mocked Charlie Kirk so he murdered her and her friend by ramming his truck into them at 70mph while they were riding their bikes.

He's now charged with murder.

Like, is he?

If we were villains…

Still reeling from the ending.

It’s unfair that we have to learn 4chan speak just to keep up with these people.

Rough digital painting of a girl jumping from rock to rock across a river. In the background a forest is slowly changing to its autumn colors.

The image that inspired my most popular comic.

What’s really disappointing is the approval of this Harry Potter experience in stanley park. How clueless do you have to be to not understand how this affects our LGBTQ+ community? There are many other events you could have but you choose to approve events that fund a transphobic bigot? Gross

Contact Park Board Commissioners Do you have a question or comment for the Park Board Commissioners? Tell us about it now using our online form.

vancouver.ca/your-governm... here’s the comment form page to inform them of this dumb decision.

Wow, I’ve never heard a designer openly admit to parts of their game being “insignificant”. Tell me more how you need to play test more to make those cards significant. AI rots every design decision.

Well, we see it. But other don’t. Lol

I’ve taught this in a queer media session for years. Hetero propaganda is real and so subversive in our culture that we don’t even see it.

I want to believe that this is sincere. But it also feels like a “we have to just get through the biggest convention of the year with damage control” and then back to the plan afterwards. It’ll be interesting to see what your stance is post GenCon with less eyes on you.

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

A blue box to the left with four sillhouette-style humans, each notably wearing wizard-like robes from the Harry Potter universe. The box says Codenames and Back to Hogwarts on it, with Harry Potter in golden letters at the bottom. To the right, a cartoon astronaut head in a Harry Potter scarf winks, a variation of the logo of board game publisher Czech Games Edition.

Reviewers including No Pun Included and Shut Up & Sit Down are boycotting Codenames publisher CGE for releasing a new Harry Potter-themed game while ignoring JK Rowling’s anti-trans rhetoric:

Why are you blocking queer players on your socials? I thought you wanted healthy discussion?

In a recent update, @codenamesgame.bsky.social has decided to block me on instagram after a terf engaged with my comments on their post. Rather than defend queer players they block us. This has definitely solidified never purchasing from @czechgames.com ever again.

Cowards.

Reminder to everyone heading to #gencon to let @czechgames.com know how much you dislike #CGE s decision to align themselves with transphobic bigots who fund anti-lgbtq+ legal teams.

@czechgames.com has grossly decided to license Codenames with JKRowling knowing the funds go to support anti-LGBTQ+ legal teams. They even posted this hollow “reasoning”. Sad to say I’ll never buy anything from them till they stop. I recommend others do the same. #boycott #boardgames #bigotry

I don’t even think it acknowledges even that. That would require them to have more awareness beyond oh no our comment section has turned on us.

What a garbage statement. All it says is “We got a contract. Money money nom nom”
