Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.
Oceans Awash in Plastic Waste
On a day that many might be headed to the beach, take a moment to consider some of the widespread impacts of all of that plastic, and the ongoing efforts to clean it up.

Games are not tech and yet the great people who make them have been owned by Big Tech and are now being discarded en masse, because according to C-suits, tech can replace what they do. It’s a gross miscalculation. Games are art, games need soul. The more we lose talent, the more we’ll lose players.
Rami Ismail (رامي)@ramiismail.com · last yr.There has to be a better way than this. There has to be a better games industry than this happening to so many people, over and over and over. This isn't good enough.

i think it would be useful for us as a society in this strange age to reorient our definitions of words like “art” art being an act of labour that has emotionally expressive purpose and intent leading things like generated “art” to be defined as, perhaps, “visuals” it’s not art, it’s a visual
