This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work.

Having recently attended a 4-hour "AI Essentials for Parents" session at AFT's National Academy for AI Instruction, I can confirm! It began with "how to make informed choices" and ended with a 1-hr tutorial for your child to use ChatGPT/Copilot/Claude as a "study buddy and thought partner". 🤨
There’s no A.I. “literacy”. There is only power, to either rebuild or eradicate commonly shared knowledge production. They haz it. Remains to be seen if we haz some too.

Did you know that you can cover solo games (card, board, RPGs) without (1) making an excuse why it’s okay to play a game solo and (2) playing it off as if it’s just a silly thing because you “have no friends.”
Solo gaming has been, and will continue to be, legitimate.
It’s 2026, y’all.

This is under the radar presumably because no one has gotten on a plane to the U.S. (yet) but a potentially enormous disaster in a region that lacks the resources to handle it

I just want to express how annoying it is on Etsy to try and find handmade items, especially a shirt that was illustrated or printed by an artist. Many shirts listed as "linocut" in most cases aren't actually hand printed. It's so exhausting and I'm so upset for artists who try and sell on there.

If your Kickstarter game has AI art and an AI trailer with AI music, then there’s no way I’m going to believe the game design isn’t AI generated as well.

A country actively hostile to science has enabled Drexel to close a 200-year-old museum for “financial reasons”.
I personally refuse to believe they had no choice but to do this. Money always flows in the direction where priorities are set.
This is devastating.
