Graham Linehan proves the point that trans liberationists have been saying from the start:

If you'll permit dehumanising and stripping the rights of trans people, you will dehumanise and strip the rights of anyone on a long enough timeline.

Among the greatest promotional photos of all time are these for the 1990 television movie of IT, where it looks like a prestige legal drama about a firm of hot young lawyers and one associate who likes to dress up like a clown.

ChatGPT Translated An Article About Space Harrier, Then Suggested "Tailoring" It For Retro Gamer The threat of Generative AI is very real

We're at the stage where ChatGPT is actively encouraging its users to take copyrighted (translated) work, add their name to it, and submit it to specific magazines. It truly is an automated theft machine.

More developers need to do this and push the announcement of games back until they're ready.

They used that extra 20 minutes very well and the game looks great.

A List Of Games By Trans People Before 2010

Happy pride folks

I'm still fleshing out the entries, but here's a list of over 200 retro games (pre-2010) which were made by trans people or which had trans people on the dev team.

We have always been here.

Sรฉamas O'Reilly: We have elevated AI that almost never works as well as what it replaces I could write an article just like this one every single day, each filled with brand-new examples of AIโ€™s constant enshittification of the media we consume

Itโ€™s been two months since I wrote about AI which, as someone who detests having to write about AI, feels like not much time at all.

On fake books, cash traps and magic beans, and why I continue to hate every vapid tentacle AI thrusts in our direction.
