Can you guess how much the minimum wage would be today if it kept up with worker productivity over the years?

Generative AI is the tool and aesthetic of fascism, and that aesthetic only appeals to middle aged divorced sex predators, billionaires, guys who drive cybertrucks, and guys who don't tip.
It's the aesthetic of losers, miserable assholes, and guys with a sexual allegations section in their wiki.

Trans men’s insight on this is so fucking valuable in understanding the nuances of what’s going on with men. We need to be amplifying them, and hopefully cis men can realize what is actually the source of their loneliness.

I said it before and I'll say it again: Young people are depressed because rich people stole their opportunities for a future and a happy life. By opportunities I mean chances of owning a house, having a decent salary, a not too sucky job, and a not be treated like a serf in the medieval Europe.

"ai makes art accessible" is an argument i hate to my fucking bones. Art is EASILY accessible, I'd argue it's the cheapest most accessible hobby because all you need is a pen and paper.
"yeah but not everyone has skills" no everyone has the skill, you just need to put in the work

Every artist I know is really struggling right now. Financially, emotionally, their confidence, in general.
If you like an artist's work, support them any way you can. Buying their stuff or subscribing to their Patreon is great, but words of encouragement are also incredibly helpful.

Game industry continues to be just incredibly bleak behind the scenes. Ecosystem is in free fall. Doubt there’ll be an easy solution, or a quick one. This darkest hour has dragged out to a darkest couple of years.

I just want to say; this isn't a games industry problem. This is a consumer capitalist problem. Society as a whole is in free fall, products are getting worse. Marketing funds are siphoning production and QA funds. Investors are being prioritized over creators. All markets are stagnating.
