The words "FIX YOUR HEARTS OR DIE" placed over David Lynch's face (a still from TWIN PEAKS THE RETURN).

I feel like we have the opportunity to turn David Lynch's quote into this moment's "Keep Calm and Carry On" and it's a far better rallying cry too.

Game design is simple, actually So, let’s just walk through the whole thing, end to end. Here’s a twelve-step program for understanding game design. One: Fun There are a lot of things people call “fun.” But most of them are not useful for getting better at making games, which is usually why people read articles like this. The fun of a bit of confetti exploding in front of you, and the fun of excruciating pain and risk to life and limb as you free climb a cliff are just not usefully paired together.

Game design is simple, actually. Except when it isn't. Here are the 12 things you need to know.

UK union accuses GTA maker Rockstar Games of firing employees attempting to organise According to The Independent Workers’ Union of Great Britain, the developer fired more than 30 staff last week for being members of a union-affiliated Discord channel

This should be reported alongside any coverage of the GTA 6 delay

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market.

This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

too damn much of this stuff this year, "shutting down after 50, 100, 200 years"

So far, lined up three different sponsored streams/videos for $1300 this week! Thank you, Sonic the Hedgehog, for helping me support the Greater Boston Food Bank, because nobody should Go Fast unless they want to.

Also, to Twitch Chat for helping me while I was Star Trekkin' across the universe.

Somehow I am most flabbergasted by zero bugs

In New Jersey, a single mother struggled to figure out how to feed her two young sons with $50. In Oklahoma, a 61-year-old woman questioned whether driving to a food pantry was worth the gas money. And in Colorado, a woman grabbed food from a Walmart dumpster.

The company says it’s heartbreaking, they promise improvements, new guardrails. Anything but shutting it down. Suicide is just a metric in their ongoing beta test.

Sam Altman and everyone like him should be in fucking jail.

To put this in scale, Elon Musk's salary from Tesla alone could fund the SNAP program for the entire country into 2034.

everyone needs to grow the fuck up and start playing pretend with toys

I read the article and this part is followed by the national suicide hotline. So I think it is meant to mean "I'm ending this conversation and you need to call 988"... But you can just continue the conversation and it *sounds* like a human is at the keyboard now which just makes everything worse

The future being pushed by both AI boosters and educational censors is one where access to information is tightly controlled. Children will not be allowed to read certain books or learn certain narratives. “Research” will be performed only through one of a select few artificial intelligence tools owned by AI giants which are uniformly aligned behind the Trump administration and which have gone to the ends of the earth to prevent their black box machines from spitting out “woke” answers lest they catch the ire of the administration. School boards and library boards, forced to comply with increasingly restrictive laws, funding cuts, and the threat of being defunded entirely, leap at the chance to be considered forward looking by embracing AI tools, or apply for grants from government groups like the Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS), which is increasingly giving out grants specifically to AI projects.

Once you start thinking of AI as a war on humanity, on human thought, on human inquiry, on human labor, on nuance and critical thinking, it slots in pretty seamlessly with the right wing ideological project, oligarchical political projects, big tech's political projects, etc

I don't think it's even right to say the voting public doesn't care. I think the truth is a lot of voters may generally find trans identity moderately confusing but also *none of their business*.

on the other hand, they find an obsession with harming trans people - say it with me - deeply weird.

lmao

The key thing to watch here: they fired a Wired political reporter. That’s the title doing the most effective, pointed work. Teen Vogue’s stuff was culturally impactful, but less focused on investigating the administration. Within the Condé portfolio, Wired and the New Yorker are the canaries.

Our friends Wings and Aji up in northern New Mexico need some help distributing grocery gift cards for people in their area who lost SNAP. I'm sending $50. I'm going to make and post a fruit or vegetable drawing of choice for the first 10 people who match my donation.

The Future Class was created in 2020 when a lot of companies responded to online critiques and broader social justice movements with DEI initiatives.

Hard not to read part of the subtext here as the TGAs, like many other brands, trying to distance itself from "woke."
