This is a fucking bloodbath. 343/halo studios effectively shuttered, arkane and ninja theory to be shuttered most likely, obsidian and rare are being merged into other studios which likely means huge layoffs, playground and turn 10 to merge which likely means the same.
Man reading this is giving me heartburn. Hundreds punished for this mismanagement of others, and those who aren't cut are being told to do the impossible if they want to stay employed.

You know who we need most when companies overreach and desperately need reminding of their place? People who are already spending their cash on said company.

I would love to start a Cancel Your Nitro Membership and Pass Along the Sentiment train.

Just cancelled mine. Join me ✨ 🌹

From the very beginning of this recent obsession with identifying everyone online (yes, they like to call it "age" verification, but it always ends up as identity verification), we've been pointing out that it was a huge privacy nightmare waiting to happen. Or maybe it wasn't waiting. Maybe it was already happening. This week a...

And this is why we need to help people stop focusing on a brand name and start hating the surveillance state as a whole.
New: Axon says cops are asking it to change its license plate readers to make them look less like Flock cameras. This is because people keep vandalizing Flock ones. Axon said it is looking to change the design. CEO said this in a now deleted webinar, but we got a copy www.404media.co/cops-are-ask...
Cops Are Asking Axon to Make Their Cameras Look Different From Flock So People Don't Destroy Them

I will add pressure to this by saying that any company that claims to not hold onto your personal data after verifying you?

They're lying.

I stop eating at businesses that use AI in the art/signs.

I downvote games that disclose using genAI in their creative processes.

I have responded point-blank to clients asking for me to voice in something - who admit upfront to AI placeholders - I won’t even touch it until it’s completely AI-free
Please be vocal about not using AI. We have to normalize it.
No "I'm not going to say that because it should be assumed. I'm not going to give them this".
We don't have time for that shit ideological shit right now.

NOW is the time to capitalize on waning favorability. Ppl want human made

As I warned a week ago, this proposal from the senate would be apocalyptic for biking in America.

Click through and take action to defend bike lanes on local roads across the nation.
ACTION ALERT 🚨

Right now, the Senate is considering adding language to the transportation reauthorization bill to restrict bike lanes. Tell Congress: funding for bike safety projects MUST continue!

Take action: action.bikeleague.org/page/101946/...

Banning or removal of bikeways on the National Highway System would include many normal surface streets in the East Bay, like Oakland’s Fruitvale Ave.

Would the raised protected bikeway be removed? Who knows?

It’s insanity but we have to deal w it, so sign the petition & send a letter.

I LITERALLY SAID THIS WAS THE RISK OF CONTINUING TO USE TWITTER. EVEN IF YOU JUST POST ART THERE AND LEAVE, YOU ARE STEADILY INDOCTRINATING YOUR AUDIENCE BY PUTTING THEM IN CONSTANT PROXIMITY TO FASCISM AND RIGHT WINGERS.
Evidence is already accruing that spending time on Twitter pulls ppl to the right, bc the algorithm feeds you horrible stuff.

And again: academics are likely more vulnerable, bc they convince themselves they are less.
A few weeks of X’s algorithm can make you more right-wing – and it doesn’t wear off quickly
Elon Musk’s social media platform is boosting conservative content – and it’s having long-lasting effects on how users see the world.

This shit is why you can't separate continuing to financially support the Harry Potter IP (whether by buying the games, merch, watching the new TV show when its out) from the consequences of what JK Rowling does with that money

She's become so stiflingly powerful that even private docs arent safe
I've never seen such an effort to censor a document as I have the Amnesty International report on gender critical groups because of JK Rowling.

They removed the report from the Wayback Machine and now I got a DMCA strike on my Google Drive for having it. It was deleted and removed from my account.
