I'm in awe of the Rockstar workers who've continuously fought back against their unjust firings by Rockstar.
@nershly.bsky.social did an incredibly good job capturing what the past couple of months have been like for her and what we should all learn from it. scottishleftreview.scot/the-rockstar...

Record profits are unpaid wages and unpaid taxes.
Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection
Very unimpressed by pop neurodiversity influencers and their AI apologia.
More bullshit claiming that anti-AI stances are classist and ableist and racist.
Meanwhile, AI is built on exploited black labor, kills disabled people every day, disposesses the working class, and drinks all our water.
The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.
drawing of a burning warehouse “all you had to do was pay us enough to live”
people will tell you it’s complicated but it’s really not
even the replies to this are full of people that didn't know (no shade). money can't buy you everything but it can buy you a lot. this is how far the media has been captured by the hyper rich that don't want ANY of this shit talked about

Happy 20 years of Neil banging out the tunes 🐀🎶🎉
I need everyone to understand this is eugenics in action—not just “quackery.” Much like the “anti vax” movement as a whole.
Completely illegal to build this and qualify it as retail in Seattle. Land use code would say it isn’t wide enough, deep enough or tall enough. Even if it’s retail use. How idiotic is that?
No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...
Public health experts have been begging news outlets to stop using needle shots because a quarter of Americans have needlephobia and will avoid getting vaccinated because of it and these images feed into it... and yet we (as an industry) still keep using them
They'll keep shrinking the definition of "acceptable art" until you can't talk about any of your lived experiences in a fictional setting
posting this shit when you’re owned by a billionaire is basically a recruitment ad for socialism
Now I’m just a backwoods small town hyperchicken, but it seems to me that if a company is big enough to existentially threaten the government then you don’t actually have a functioning government anymore.
A banner that reads "Game Workers Conference" in white text on a pink and blue background, alongside the ball and threads logo.
Do you work in games? Are you tired of corporate greed taking over our industry? Do you miss when industry events were by workers, for workers?

A Steam AI Generated Content Disclosure The developers describe how their game uses AI Generated Content like this: AI-generated voiceovers for ingame characters. This is a indie no-budget production. Sorry :-'(
I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this.
The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all!
Games don't need VO to be good!
By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!
NASA just dropped this image of Artemis II astronaut Christina Koch looking back at us. The first woman to ever see our planet in its entirety. I’m not crying you’re crying 🥹🔭🧪 📸: NASA

You have a right to see this file.

No, fuck you. You don’t get to suddenly decide that copyright matters when folks suddenly have access to the source code of your spicy autocomplete due to your own incompetence.
I’m sharing this video again because people don’t really get what these data centers and ai are doing to our planet and our communities. Especially Black communities because they were strategically placed there.
I need you to listen to these people.
STOP USING AI. STOP SUPPORTING AI.
wouldn't it be funny if EVERYONE blocked this Attie AI account @ bsky.app/profile/atti... before they could do anything with it
Anyone engaging with Harry Potter content — in any form — is helping fund transphobia.
Boycott the franchise and boycott the actors willingly participating in the reboot.
