I don't know how to explain to the people who pop up when creatives complain about "AI" to say there are legit uses for it just how much they sound like someone saying "Well actually fire is used to make bread" when people are talking about an organized arson ring burning down their fucking houses

Hasbro’s CEO on J.K. Rowling. We just published our new Decoder interview with Chris Cocks, the head of Hasbro. I asked him directly about how he thinks about author J.K. Rowling’s politics and what it’s done to the Harry Potter f...

cannot stress enough that "separate the art from the artist" was meant for private individuals reconciling the art they love with its flawed creators and not meant for the ceo of a company driving a dump truck of money up to a bigot's front porch

Gavin Newsom: “Review the tape — Trump spent more time talking about the curtains & his ballroom than of the 4 service members that died bc of his operation & his declaration of war without congressional consent — He still has not articulated clear vision of what the end game is. Period. Full stop”

Suno, AI Music, and the Bad Future YouTube video by Adam Neely

That man @adamneely.bsky.social presenting the most thorough work I’ve yet encountered in examining the reality of generative techno-capitalist AI in the arts. Incredibly prescient and pressing.

And, spoiler alert, THEY’RE FASCISTS.

The Washington Post published a clear video of federal agents removing Alex Pretti's handgun moments before he was fatally shot. There's nothing in the video to suggest Pretti even reached for his weapon.

I’ve played exactly one mini-campaign of D&D 5e in the last decade and it was totally fine. But honestly nothing is more likely to get me to skip an AP product than them playing yet more D&D…

I’m forever reading articles about D&D-based actual plays being so incredibly popular and yet all I the AP stuff listen to/watch never touches the Dragon game. @itsquinns.bsky.social, the Mystery Quest crew, @apocalypseplayers.bsky.social…all my faves are on Other Stuff…and there’s A LOT of it!

„Quiet, Piggy!“ Just think about that for a minute, and what it means to live in a time when a President can assault a woman in public like that without any consequences.
It‘s quite a testimony to the age of regression we live in.

Image of an early 1980s magazine ad with a white-robed wizard with a stringy beard sitting behind a table. Before him are some boxes of official Advanced Dungeons & Dragons miniatures from Grenadier.

Captions reads: Authentic Dungeon Masters prefer Grenadier's authentic fantasy figures.

If you don't have authentic Grenadier AD&D Miniatures, you aren't an authentic Dungeon Master.
I don't make the rules. That sketchy wizard cast a spell ages ago and this curse is now the reason for that Dungeon Master shortage people talk about. To end the shortage we must first defeat this guy
