Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

i love satanists sometimes. (specifically the shit-stirring ones who don’t actually believe in the Devil OR God but seem to use it exclusively in political arenas to demonstrate to Christian political activists why the separation of Church and State is actually fucking important so back off.)
spoke to a man who kicked off a city council meeting in Iowa with an invocation to Satan. “I think we're seeing you know a big shift in our politics. I think we've seen a rise of Christian nationalism in this country [...] and I find that highly troubling."
'As the new regime's symbols are raised above their capital, our reporters are being told that Yakko, Wakko and Dot have already sought to establish a government-in-exile. Speaking from his villa in Montenegro, Yakko was said to remark. "Farewell, my country, core of my heart. Goodbye, nurse."'

With way less spare time than I'd like, I've completed my entry for the Marathon game jam! First go at making a slightly fancy layout, so in that context I'm pretty happy with it. It's also the first time I make a game where spoilers are a thing. It's a strange feeling. alder-s.itch.io/phobos-2

This is why we need strict campaign finance reform in place NOW. The Roberts court opened a floodgate of endless corporate dollars into our politics, and corporate "speech" dominates both parties.
Groups aligned with Anthropic and OpenAI have funneled millions into the fight for control of Congress. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...
Additional scripts for cis het white men who want to be better allies: “What a weird thing to say” “Do you hear yourself right now?” “You shouldn’t say shit like that to people” “I won’t let you talk to them that way” “That’s a disgusting opinion to have” “Shut the fuck up, dude”
Cis men truly need to understand the power of saying “that’s fucked up bro why would you say that” to another cis man

btw I didn't say it in the post and I somewhat regret it because I hate it when people try to take language away without offering a replacement: either fabrication or confabulation (but I prefer the former) would work completely well for what is being described
on that note, if we could stop suggesting it "hallucinates" that would also be great, at it is the same
Bizarre that some dems are choosing to focus on throwing trans people under the bus as the strategy. That isnt what pushes the needle. The reality is, war in iran, gas prices, and econ being generally crap is pushing trad republican areas to the left. Trans rights dont need to be discarded

Not gonna lie, this 1991 ad using Nagel-style art to hawk Bob Evans Restaurants is deeply unsettling yet oddly comforting
Firefox literally just doing this right now by announcing this shit...
We believe an open web starts with choice. That includes AI models. We’re excited to be partnering with Mistral to bring open-source AI to Firefox Smart Window beta and expand access to France, with French-language support.
PERSONALLY I appreciate when someone says they don’t want to be outspoken or divisive or “alienate part of their audience” because then I know for sure they’re either (at best) an empty husk of nothing or (at worst) a coward 🥰
