Yesterday, Wizards informed us that it doesn’t intend to voluntarily recognize the D&D or Studio X units of our union ahead of a vote. We remain committed to creating a workplace focused on wellness, transparency, and collaboration by winning our coming election.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

LET'S FUCKIN' GO!

United Wizards of the Coast - CWA@uwotc-official.bsky.social

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

Perhaps the largest red flag regarding AI is that the people that run these businesses are some of the most transparently evil people on the planet. Jensen Huang, Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Satya Nadella, Mark Zuckerberg, et al.

Ezra Klein asked Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang about AI making kids worse at math and reading. Huang’s reply: “Does it matter?” Then he said he doesn’t know his own address or phone number. “We’re going to lose some fine intellectual dexterity.” www.nytimes.com/2026/09/23/o...

Shocker, Bonta was always Gavin Newsom’s neoliberal bitch and all it took was Paramount throwing a bit of money around and he capitulated like we all knew he would.

More Perfect Union@moreperfectunion.bsky.social

BREAKING: Paramount has reached a settlement with California and other states suing to block its acquisition of Warner Bros, per Bloomberg. The settlement comes after California AG Rob Bonta caved and stopped trying to block the merger. The final four holdout states have now conceded as well.

All billionaires are fascists.

New: Macklemore says Robert Kraft — who owns Gillette Stadium, where Macklemore & Ed Sheeran were to perform later this month — called Sheeran. Kraft rallied other owners together behind an ultimatum for Sheeran: if Macklemore stays on the tour, you won't be allowed in our venues.

🚨BREAKING: Our union of over 12,000 baristas are officially calling for a Starbucks boycott. Read this statement penned by Starbucks workers on why a boycott from ALL customers, allies, and organizations is necessary to fight back against corporate greed:

"If trans people want a boycott of The New York Times, where's the call to do so?" Here is a declaration laying out how the NYT is a key driver of trans genocide, why boycotts work and why anyone who gives a damn about trans lives and rights must boycott The New York Times.

transnews.networkBoycott The New York TimesFor years The New York Times has relentlessly pushed anti-trans propaganda, playing a significant role in the escalating genocide against us. It's far past time for a call to action: anyone who cares ...

HIRE IMRAN! BEST IN THE BUSINESS!

Imran Khan@imrankhan.bsky.social

So we found out this morning that everyone - myself included - from Restart's editorial staff has been let go. After like six layoffs in six years, that gif is my unfortunate reaction. Looking! For! Opportunities! I guess I'm open for freelance for a while!

“The issue with prison is, you don’t go to nursing school and think, I’m going to work in a prison,” said Colin Creveling, a registered nurse supervisor at a Pennsylvania prison. “There’s a stigma, people think what they think based on what they see on TV.” www.thexylom.com/post/washing...

So! If you hadn’t heard already, a new G-Witch x Gunpla campaign is running throughout August in Japan - from the 1st to 31st. Let’s look at the specifics in this mini thread 🧵 Oh, and here’s a nice, crisp, higher-res version of the key illustration courtesy of the official site.

Everyone in America understands the most likely situation is that McConnell has been dead for weeks, his death is being covered up to prevent his Senate seat from falling to an independent, and that the Democrats know that and are too chicken shit to do anything to try and stop it.

Sony and Microsoft feel like they can comfortably prioritize profit over the health and productivity of the industry because they feel confident in their market control. They don't believe that their userbases will leave them over their awful decisions. Players have to force them to do better.

Anyone else remember that Arkane's unionized devs protested Microsoft's involvement in Israel's genocide of Palestine? While Asha led Microsoft's AI dev providing tech and support to Israel?

Wario64@wario64.bsky.social

The Verge: MS currently weighing closing at least five studios including Arkane Studio (Blade) and exploring options to sell Arkane Studio Xbox layoffs reportedly starting July 6th. "the layoffs will lead to studio closures or spinoffs, potential mergers of studios, and canceled games."

When I first got ACA insurance I didn't use it, because after years of not having health insurance I was terrified of how much it would cost even with insurance's help.

Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com

Dr Oz on ACA "fraud" -- "Of the people who signed up, 40% never use the insurance. Let me ask you, John, you have health insurance -- do you use it once a year? In Obamacare right now 40% of the people ostensibly signed up never use the insurance ... we have a lot of fake people on the policies"

I'm looking to speak to folks who have worked as contractors via agencies or other third-parties, who have lost work recently as a part of restructurings/larger layoffs at companies like Xbox, Epic, Ubi, etc. Want to know about the larger, uncounted cost of these things. Email and Signal are in bio.

I spent the last few months talking to over 30 game developers about generative AI. It began as a sort of interview survey but became a pretty comprehensive collection of arguments against the technology altogether. www.gamesradar.com/games/why-so...

gamesradar.comWhy so many game developers don't want to use generative AIWith credits ranging from Dispatch and Marvel Rivals to Uncharted and Dragon Age, over 30 devs share their thoughts on gen AI

It all comes back to when Arkane’s union condemned Microsoft supporting Israel’s genocide of Palestine with AI tech while Asha led Microsoft AI dev, huh?

Two of the studios I've been told, including getting messages from employees at the locations who are "scared", are Compulsion and Arkane. Despite public messaging, many within the studios have expressed real worry and have overheard conversations about the future of the studios.

I get the impression that some people aren't clear what this means. This is the UK state deciding to intervene directly in the healthcare of individual children, depriving them of medicine that their doctors have prescribed for their personal health & wellbeing, in defiance of global best practice.

Cal Horton (they/them)@fiercemum.bsky.social

Update: Young people & families today received shocking & transphobic letters from NHS. These letters tell people that endocrine care (blockers / HRT) is being fully withdrawn in 7 weeks time (July 31st). Forced medical detransition. This country is a danger to trans children & young people.

wonderful piece from @clintsmithiii.bsky.social that, among other things, makes abundantly clear that pete hegseth and the trump administration are engaged in a racist purge of black officers under the belief that being black and having "merit" are mutually exclusive.
