Today's premium newsletter is about how the JOBS act and endless growth-driven greed is killing venture capital, with terrible returns and inflated valuations leading to a logjam of unsellable companies. The AI bubble has made things much, much worse. www.wheresyoured.at/premium-vent...

There's a Politico (lol) piece entirely about how Republicans' hope right now is that the polls are all way off and they only get a MILD wipeout and first of all it's full of a bunch of nonsense but the best part is how it ends on this incredible bit:

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again: an administration (and its supporters) who believe that they are not limited by the rule of law have no moral or philosophical claim to the protection of the rule of law. “The law is whatever we say it is” warrants the same in response.

If you’re wondering what the vibe is going into the midterms the New England fall fair I went to today had a crochet guillotine for sale.

New working paper: the Norwegian wealth tax was a huge success. The "exodus" of wealthy people never happened (less than 100 individuals left). Tax revenue increased by 71.5%. No changes in business activity or investment. www.nber.org/papers/w35854

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...

I LOVE how @propublica.org dealt with official comment here, editorially and stylistically.

All prisoners should have the right to vote while in prison

Anti-civil rights Democrats should lose. But what if anti-civil rights Dems losing means Dems won't control the govt! Buddy, full on anti-civil rights fascists control it already and the threat of losing is pretty weak if winning still means tomorrow just looks like today. That ain't reducing harm

Huge congratulations to the US-based Wikimedia Foundation employees who voted with 92% support in favor of unionizing, and shoutout to the tireless work of the organizers.

Reposting the elf(?) in the year of our lordde twenty twenty six because I am doing Websit® stuff and I forgot the patreon wordpress plugin had nuked a bunch of galleries due to being hot gorgbage. That's fine though, elven(?) fashion is timeless.

Today, Wiki Workers United US/CWA demanded voluntary recognition from the Wikimedia Foundation, the nonprofit organization that hosts Wikipedia and sister projects! We are hopeful that the Wikimedia Foundation will honor their stated values and quickly come to the table.

Scoop: The AI music generator Suno was hacked. Hacker shared source code that shows how the tool was made and part of the music and podcasts that were scraped to create it. Decades worth of music, lyrics, and podcasts from YouTube, Deezer, Genius & more www.404media.co/hack-reveals...

It seems like it was lost in the news over the weekend even though it was announced on the EVO stage but: EVO Singapore has absorbed the TWT Finals, and they take place in the same weekend/venue. I would guess this is their goal for all the tours eventually.

My stance on piracy has remained consistent over my entire career: I'd prefer if you paid money for my games, but if that's not going to happen for whatever reason, I'd rather you pirate one of my games vs never playing it.

Xbox has the chance to do the funniest thing ever and remake this video

ONCE AGAIN thinking about the fact that the last remaining Man of Iron showed up in 40k for exactly 1 story, told a tech priest yeah I met the Omnissiah he would have hated you, killed everyone, and then fucked off never to be seen again Moreover, ICE must be destroyed
