If SCREEN were to pass, you'd be required to scan your face and upload an ID to access this site because it allows "harmful" material. This affects you even if you don't care about sex work or porn.

Mike Lee's SCREEN Act, which heads to Senate Commerce Committee for markup on Wednesday, would expand age verification requirements to a nearly limitless scope of websites, and is supported by the architects of Project 2025.

If you're part of the BioWare or Sims community and want to talk about how those studios' queer characters and themes have impacted you and your fears for those series moving forward after this sale, I'd love to chat with you for a Kotaku story. Can be reached here or email kshepard@kotaku.com

Well, I guess Electronic Arts belongs to Saudi Arabia, private equity, and Jared Kushner now. https://kotaku.com/electronic-arts-officially-belongs-saudi-arabia-jared-kushner-now-2000721666

Hello I have made this due to a mutual having issues with some folks on here forgetting this fact and shouting at him for it. Feel free to use it as a handy PSA x

Texas Orders Discord to Run UK-Style Age Checks for State Users

The agreed injunction gives Discord 90 days to route Texas users into the same face scans and ID checks it already runs for children in Britain.

"so it felt like character flaws rather than what it really was, which was undiagnosed ADHD" Oh my God the years I spent over the years berating myself for having more ambition than work ethic, not knowing my brain was working against me the whole time

NPR@npr.org · 4d ago

For decades, ADHD was viewed as a childhood condition that mostly affected boys. Researchers now know ADHD manifests differently in girls, but many still go undiagnosed until adulthood.

Creative solidarity means: If you're a writer, do not use AI "art" or AI "voiceover" If you're an artist, do not use AI "writing" or AI "references" If you're a streamer/actor, do not use AI for backdrops, thumbnails, etc. Never help AI steal another medium No excuses, no shortcuts, no surrender.

I guess I should re-title this post to "official" from "compatible". It feels a little Kirby-esque, hoovering up all the IPs to spit them out as projects with a D&D label stuck to them. 🤔 It'll be fine for folks who like it, I guess, but… yeah, some choices were definitely made.

Sorry, I had thoughts. It will most likely happen again. #blog 💖 1. I love D&D, it is my *comfort* game. 2. Not everything needs to be made "D&D compatible". 3. We all have got to start playing diverse, smaller, and weirder systems if the hobby and industry are gonna get past the D&D juggernaut.

Early on in my career, this is what helped me save up money for my big move to California. $25 here. $50 there. Short blurbs for a local car seller. A VOICEMAIL for a small company. Either it bought my meals for the day or it went towards a 4-year “moving out” fund. Now the small jobs don’t exist.

Seeing every small business, be it a local restaurant, a moving company, whatever, all having AI logos and AI ads, really puts into perspective just how many artists are out of jobs now. All those little sustaining jobs where someone just needed a quick thing for $50 to $200 are just gone.

Haven't done a support thread in a while. Life has been a lot lately. But hey, I'm Nix! I'm an artist, crafter and streamer! While I do have part time employment I very much rely on my gig work to survive, so if you like what I do please consider supporting! linktr.ee/punklenix
