In one hour, ~50 physical copies of both Multipage Version #2: IMAGES and Multipage Version #1: HEADINGS go on sale — get ready.

Any money they make after I’ve paid down the cost of printing will go to @translifeline.org.

Alright y'all, this is it! The final stretch for the game industry hardship fund. We've got $13k to raise in 14 hours to meet the final goal, I think we can do it. itch.io/b/3802/game-...
In response to the unprecedented number of game developers laid off this year, we have created a bundle on itch to benefit a Game Industry Hardship Fund, managed by @videogameworkers.bsky.social. More than 100 games for 10+ bucks! Please share widely and donate generously!

All money, minus processing fees for itch, goes to out of work game developers to pay for food, housing, healthcare, and whatever they need to make it through. Neither we as the organizers nor UVW take any of the money from the bundle. Game developers can apply here: uvw-cwa.org/hardship-fun...

There are people who object to the way we reporters use the term “far right” and to be fair the term has been abused. But don’t kid yourself on, the Glasgow “protests” on Sat were explicitly white nationalist with openly fascistic and neo-nazi elements.

Arrests and mixed messages as far right clash with antiracists
Rival protesters gathered in Glasgow on Saturday in a jarring hotch-potch of rhetoric and symbols, as mounted police had to help keep order

On today’s plague boat to Staffa there was a man who looked like Captain Birdseye. Only difference was the carrot chunks caught in his beard. Put me right off my banana.

It was inevitable, wasn't it🙄

Of course the Telegraph would run with something like this👇

So let's remove some of the rose-tinted spectacles and also look at some of that data comparing 1976 with modern heat waves

Because the 1976 nostalgia porn is wearing a bit thin at this stage

IMO buying music is cool and I think you can have a pretty big music collection if you do that instead of streaming, plus the artist gets all the money instead of a tech company
Bandcamp Friday begins in T-minus 12 hours! From midnight to midnight PDT, we'll waive our revenue share and pass the funds directly to artists and labels.

Cute date idea: Job security, decent pay, and a unionised games industry. 🥰

The chair of UKIE
@ukieofficial.bsky.social, the trade body for the UK Games Industry thinks job security is good for her, but not for you.

Work in games in the UK? Join our union today:

'We've been a little bit too romantic about the idea that we should have employees and give people long-term job security' is an extraordinary thing for a video games CEO to say on record:

Remember:

When Tylenol was poisoned *by an outsider* and killed people, the company recalled all their products & redesigned them.

When Intel’s Pentium had a bug so obscure it affected 1 in _9 billion_ long division calculations, they recalled their chips.

ChatGPT was made deadly *by its team*.
i don’t see how any of the benefits of chatgpt and other consumer-facing LLMs can possibly outweigh their incredible ability to induce suicides
Adam Raine’s life hurtled toward tragedy soon after he began talking with ChatGPT about homework. Analysis of his ChatGPT account shows how the chatbot became a confidant as he planned to end his life.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
