If AI CEOs are working on something as dangerous as they keep on telling us it is, why haven't they been arrested yet?

Not everyone knows! Keep spreading the word!

Why make movies at all if they’re not going to let you sculpt weird little dudes

these people want US citizens to live in a bubble where they know nothing about the rest of the world. History is full of countries who proclaimed they had a divine favour, hell the US is literally celebrating the anniversary of their independence from a country with "god and my right" on its logo.

US House Speaker Mike Johnson going full Red Hunter at The Family Leadership Summit: “We were the first nation in the history of the world to boldly proclaim the eternal truth that our rights do not come from government. They come from God Himself.” 1/

The legendary Syd Mead (1933-2019) was born 93 years ago today.

Has anyone ever built an internal combustion turntable? I feel like the overlap between music people and old car people is big enough that someone's got to have tried this even if it's probably entirely impractical, but sadly I can't find one on google.

literally this meme:

my union negotiated an $8,000 lump sum to be put directly into my bank account last week. so far i’ve paid $923 in union dues since starting this job last year. pretty good return on investment.

In Dark Phoenix (2019), Jean Grey can be seen wearing jeans and grey, a reference to the fact that she is Jean Grey.

I guess one observation could be made that the games industry trying to shift so that everything "can be done by contractors" is kinda trying to turn game development into yet another gig economy. Which sounds horrible, doesn't it?

Sounds like they're aiming to save even more costs by forcing everyone to move to Unreal. So they can use contractors. Despite each version of Unreal has also been modified by teams to make it do what they need

@danacorn.bsky.social I was looking through my memes folder on my phone and thought you might get a laugh out of this one. Hope the day treats you well.

I'm not sure "he's not even a real bin" is the winning electoral argument some of Count Binface's opponents imagine. I think the voters of Clacton had pretty much already realised that on their own.

It only makes me miss social cues that's way cooler

My favorite detail about Major Kusanagi is that despite looking like a normal person she’s extremely dense so whenever she lands it’s like dropping a bowling ball made of lead off a building.

Unfortunately, HR made our office manager take this down almost immediately. They said because it's in a common area, it had to be removed. We've used common areas for many things as a team, including fan works, but HR seems to believe that a Celebration of Service is inappropriate.

Those of us in Rockville were inspired by the Dallas team's vigil for those let go Monday and made our own Celebration of Service. We set it up this morning in the common area of the first floor at 9am today.

I think it says a lot that trying to take Nigel Farage seriously at the moment sounds identical to taking the piss.

I feel like this image, alone, has the potential for tremendous usage in replies:

I think with the continuing industry layoffs we need to find a new way to support unemployed game developers in these trying times. That's why I'm launching Big O nlyFans, a website where you can support gamedevs directly in exchange for exclusive content about their amateur projects. #gamedev #puns

Why didn't Thetis just dunk Achilles in the Styx a second time? Is she stupid?

... are you SELLING it?

this whole tournament has been one farce after another. You've gotta feel sad for the players. Hell I bet even the US side must be so embarrassed at uncle don making them look like a bunch of dirty cheats.

🚨 Exclusive: The White House made a direct call to FIFA to ask Gianni Infantino to review Folarin Balogun’s red card. FIFA approached for comment and referred to the findings of its independent committee.

US friends, contact your Senators! It's easier than you think it will be. Inaction is the best guarantee towards a future you don't want.

Before anyone begins doomposting: There are still two stops it has to pass before it gets into law. And the senate doesn't like the House version of KOSA so there's a chance it doesn't pass. But don't just assume.

I was formatting one of the articles in the "War Stories" TF zine I'm working on and Red Dwarf was mentioned then before I knew it...this happened. #art

Ah yes, Sarah O'Connor. Best known as mother of John O'Connor, leader in our fight against the machines. As I recall she was relentlessly pursued by the O'Terminator in the all-Irish universe.
