"I don't want to work at this place anymore:" EA workers decry mismanagement and corporate greed after mass layoffs Current and former EA employees paint a bleak picture of daily life at one of the video game industry's most prominent publishers

anthropic's exploding lol it went public, we find out the company's debts are like $650 billion dollars. It's valuation was based on like a ton of IOUs. a week ago those IOU holders were selling them off. in china right now, the bubble is very much popping and $450 billion vanished overnight. hm

That would be a stupid fucking direction for the industry to take. Which is why this is probably the case.

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

Regular reminder that when you go to things while sick, you are giving those germs to people with autoimmune disorders, you’re passing them to someone’s newborn, to someone’s elderly parents. It’s “just a cold” to you but it can and does severely impact countless people.

I think the release of this movie right as anger about oligarchs is reaching fever pitch is not a coincidence. here's 100 million dollars please tell everybody the guy who stole from the rich to give to the poor sucked actually.

sorry i need to publicly be a hater for a second but what do you mean the giant 230k+ signature save mass effect petition is only about the IP and not the devs that were laid off

This man, this little worm who’s never done a day of honest work in his life. He’s why BioWare was shuddered and hundreds of people lost their jobs last week.

"What was your biggest impact on the internet?" I figure it was more important for people when we were all new here and finding each other. Now it's a fun-factoid to tell people and have them go "YOU made the OCsky feeds?!"

hey is the foxglove app good? for poisoning art for LLMs etc

Yeahhh this one got me - #Dragonage #DATV #Veilguard

I really do think you should vote. Your actual vote is secret, but the fact that you voted is not. Being a regular voter means campaigns will try to win you over. The more trans people are regular voters the more likely it is that candidates will worry about needing to win our votes.

People don’t understand why I keep noting that BlueSky is not a bubble, it is a counterpublic. It serves its own organizational function: you can see in realtime in January 2025, on multiple types of social media, shouting that an executive order is instruction to an agency. This one stuck.

like this? this is the whole logic of deplatforming, en toto. if you were wondering why center-right liberals and blackshirts were horrified by deplatforming as a strategy and quailed about 'cancel culture', this is why: because it works.

I’m not a political journalist, so was gladly surprised at the community I found here last night. To Americans anxious about the upcoming elections, a key thing we learned in Brazil that might help you: DO NOT engage with the far-right online. Don’t share rage bait. Amplify your people. Ignore them.

Michigan, don't you dare sit this one out. Vote! I don't care what the polls look like -- and they are close. Even if they looked like a sure thing, you'd still have to show up. Please do.

It's really important to pay attention to the fact that Lula beat the fascist candidate not by compromising and trying to meet fascist voters in the middle, but by sticking to his guns, promising prosecutions for election interference, and mobilising his own voters to turn out in greater numbers.

Bolsonaro had corrupt media on his side, Meta interference on his side, US propaganda operations, and his party's officials actively sabotaging public transport in Lula strongholds to prevent turnout. Yet he was still beaten by the power of voter turnout.

People are sharing all sorts of stories of Bauza on the picket lines fighting for artists and standing up for the craft of animation but I just keep thinking about the time he went to Tara Strong’s birthday and stopped by 6Point on the way home with a tray of cakepops for the artists working late

Lula won in part by banning online gambling

"So, what's your type?" Lining him up just to knock him down.

Lula winning is great for the planet, great for Brazil, and great for people who aren't revanchist assholes everywhere in the world, but let's not forget that it's also going to make some of the worst people on Earth extremely sad and mad. We should enjoy that, as a little treat.

thanks for everything 🐉

Unbelievable loss. An amazing talent, and just a really, really good person. www.instagram.com/p/De8RFy4pyov/

I just want to name that people overcame this. Even against a stacked deck, the good fight is worth it. Win or lose, it's worth it. And sometimes the good guys win.

None of us should forget this. Meta should be subjected to corporate death penalty and permanently broken up into small pieces.

Never forget that fascism lives for aesthetics and attention. They have no depth. Take the stage, take your colors, solidarize with those they hate, don't engage with them, don't give them oxygen, and make fury your dance partner make it shine, laugh, take children, MAKE THE FIGHT WORTH ITSELF
