A reminder to call your reps today! KOSA has been sandwiched into the KIDS Act and is still a huge censorship threat. You can use this tool- it takes just a few minutes:

๐Ÿฅณ Tevinter Nights was my prep for starting on Veilguard, and it contains a whole host of wonderful stories from our writers free from the constraints of video game technology and scope.

It set my imagination alight, and made the world of Dragon Age a whole lot bigger.

I've been a technical animator for almost 25 years. I've worked at Turbine Games, Blizzard, BioWare and now Motive. I've done everything from rigging to coding to bloody dismemberment effects. Also, hair. My new glasses are cute!

This is the most blasรฉ admission of a war crime by a US president in history.

Trump has just disclosed, without prompting, that the US Military committed a war crime - literally just to brag & make his Republican audience laugh about unnecessarily killing 100+ Iranians instead of capturing them.

Purely from an IP law perspective, trying to "opt out" something that is at minimum a right of publicity issue and which has potential reputational issues for the involved experts is a bold move.

A very bold move.

A really really bold move.

Back to banning books.

Those afraid of libraries are the ones who should be using them.

โ€œIt's the most significant order banning books in the history of Canada. There's never been anything like this.โ€

Trump is the kind of turd
That the world can't seem to flush down
An ignorant racist sack of shit
A humourless evil clown
A man so vile with not one redeeming quality
Just a cruel smile and a putrid brain that reeks of senility
Yes, Old Trump is a F$%king jerk! RS

A woman stands in a modern bathroom. She is wearing a leather jacker and a t-shirt that reads "Punch More Nazis." She has pink hair and a side shave. She is flipping off the camera.

You know the best way to kill AI? Don't use it. Don't buy it. Don't share it. Don't give the people who use it your labour or your money.

Grammarly is using our identities without permission Grammarlyโ€™s AI stole my bossโ€™s identity.

I happened to be in downtown SF today, so I tried stopping by the Superhuman AI office to ask about the AI โ€œeditorโ€ based on me. Unfortunately just got a very nice office manager who said no one was in.

Lots of games people in Grammarlyโ€™s pool too besides meโ€ฆ

a passage from an article by Hunter S. Thompson 

We are At War now, according to President Bush, and I take him at his word. He also says this War might last for "a very long time."
Generals and military scholars will tell you that 8 or 10 years is actually not such a long time in the span of human history-which is no doubt trueโ€”but history also tells us that 10 years of martial law and a wartime economy are going to feel like a Lifetime to people who are in their twenties today. The poor bastards of what will forever be known as Generation Z are
doomed to be the first generation of Americans who will grow up with a lower standard of living than their parents enjoyed.
That is extremely heavy news, and it will take a while for it to sink in. The 22 babies born in New York City while the World Trade Center burned will never know what they missed. The last half of the 20th Century will seem like a wild party for rich kids, compared to what's coming now. The party's over, folks.

I've been running gdcparties.com for a few years now. Some shitty company BlueberryAI decided they'd just take all the source code for the work I've done and reskin it, advertising it as their own.
