Re: Xbox β€” all I can think about is the Double Fine PsychOdyssey documentary scene where Matt Booty essentially tells all creatives on the team that their ideas are property of Microsoft even if their game idea isn’t green-lit

You can see the creativity stifled in real time

Tunic, Night in the Woods Publisher Says TikTok Is Creating and Running Racist GenAI Ads for Its Games Without Permission - IGN Publisher Finji says that TikTok has been using generative AI to modify its ads on the platform without permission and pushing those ads to its users without Finji's knowledge, including at least one ...

Dug into this absolutely wild thing happening to Finji. The deeper I read into their increasingly baffling conversations with TikTok "support" the more I felt like I was on something.

We just hit $20k for the WFM's Immigrant Rapid Response Fund, and are continuing on! Next up: Keith and Art have to carry a huge pain of glass through a nightmare world filled with obstacles, and bc of a donation incentive, they are not allowed to talk about the glass!

Yesterday morning kids were sent running from their bus stop in panic because ICE showed up. This guy at today’s ICE Out of Lindenwold protest is a must watch 😭. @maddow.bsky.social

According to a study from the National Alliance to End Homelessness, it would cost the government an additional $9.6 billion per year to end homelessness in the US by providing Rapid Re-Housing / Permanent Supportive Housing to individuals in shelters.

But sure, this is better.

What's so amazing about Jim Henson as a puppeteer is that he could literally be explaining that Kermit is made out of felt and ping pong balls and yet Kermit still feels alive the whole time he's doing it

I spent two days in San Diego with Kevin Lydy recording the MinnMax Spotlight and he was such a kind soul. Jumping back and forth from the beach to EverQuest art, he lived a hell of a life. Pour one out. youtu.be/_18ZFndAzWU

Minneapolis is MinnMax's home and it's being torn apart by ICE agents with no regard for our rights. ICE is harassing/abducting people of color on a daily basis.

Please donate to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota to help provide free legal representation to those in need. bit.ly/minnmaxgives

I was reading an article about the cancellation of food aid to Minnesota, and it reminded me of a story about my dad. He was a vet, an organizer and very deeply involved in his church. And one day he stood up and asked a question: β€œwhat the f*ck’s the point of having a church?”
