The Awards Debrief 2025 An in-depth look at the Ennie Awards, its process, design, and role from the perspective of one former judge.

I love award shows. It's no secret. It's why I've spent months writing, refining, and trying to distill my Ennies judging experience.

Kickstarter United is on strike! We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking A codified 4-day work week. We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work. Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers. We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

“It Kind of Changed My Life”: The Story of Bone’s Time in Disney Adventures, From the People Who Made It Happen - SKTCHD While it might be difficult to imagine in 2025, a magazine was one of the biggest deals for kids back in the 1990s. Disney Adventures, a monthly, digest-sized publication, was loaded with everything t...

There’s a direct connection between @jeffsmithsbone.bsky.social’s Bone appearing in Disney Adventures and my mom advocating for comics in her school.

I always wondered how Disney decided to inject an indie juggernaut into its massive readership. @davidharper.bsky.social tracked down this history:

Ben & Jerry’s has always stood for progressive values and social justice.

Today, as we become part of The Magnum Ice Cream Company through the Unilever de-merger, we’re urging the board to let us operate independently again so we can stay true to our founding mission. #FreeBenAndJerrys

Don't lose hope, people. Empty, meaningless, performative debate that changes nobody's mind, brings no progress to the world, and only serves to support a grift will live on.

And of course it's not just hobbies, walk the floor of any science fiction or wander around any ren faire and see how many small businesses are getting absolutely fucked by this nonsense

I like how the stock photo site Pixabay has introduced the ability to remove A.I. slop from search results. To exclude A.I., you select "Authentic only".

I really like "authentic" as the defining, positive characteristic of non-AI regurgitation.

Looks great!

This is how you handle someone who tries to sell AI slop at a con: remove them, and then clown on them relentlessly

I love this for younger and new players! I particularly like how spell levels are called “grades” to avoid confusion between spell and character levels. Smart and thematically perfect.

Happy birthday!!!

I could keep tinkering with the cover art but I’m going to call this done.

I read some of Billy Bat through fan translations and it’s trippy, meta and brilliant! Can’t wait to own a legit translation.

Amazing!

This is about 23,000 more subscribers than I ever expected The Middle Age to find on Webtoon. <3
