Jay Justice 🔜GDC

The thing about all these freak AI execs constantly going "our machine may have gained sentience?!" is that they want slaves. That they are ok with slave labor.

And *then* it always, always turns out their latest AI trick actually used slave labor somewhere in the global south.

They're slavers.

We still have a backlog of Black people not having any jobs, unfortunately :(

In honor of Women's History Month let's get all those laid off industry gals jobs at GDC next week ok

Well now, would you look at that? A massive, 4-YEAR-LONG study of NEARLY 30 MILLION people in France found that individuals who received a COVID-19 mRNA vaccine had a 74% LOWER risk of death from severe COVID-19 compared to unvaccinated individuals and ZERO increased risk of all-cause mortality.

Reminder that the 'lesbian domestic violence rate' statistics? The perpetrators are men.

my take on Joss Whedon is that he was literally not allowed to be in a room alone with a child, and that's kind of the end of the story for me.

This is the thing I want to stress to people who are used to the illustrated kids’ book space. You’re used to being done when you hand in the words. In comics, the writing isn’t done until the pictures are done because the pictures are also writing.

this is the moment that gamedevs everywhere crumble under the weight of their own GDC ambitions

godspeed everyone 🫡 rest assured that no one is ready lol

Home | The Key The Key is a new online magazine brought to you by the Palestine Festival of Literature.

I've launched a publication with @palfest.bsky.social called "The Key." I am so excited to share this first issue with you: www.thekeymagazine.com

kill the imposter syndrome in you head because not only is there someone out there doing it worse than you, they're also using chat gpt to do it

Anyways.

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

minicomic featuring momo and pg from If You’ll Have Me, eunnie’s graphic novel. page 1: momo and pg share a sweet kiss, surrounded by doodles of hearts. in the next panel, pg casts her a glance before moving forward to deepen the kiss, taking momo by surprise with the touch of her tongue.

page 2: a flustered momo tries to maintain composure as pg leans further into the kiss. the next close-up shows momo’s eyes have dizzy spirals in them, puffs of steam coming from her head as she becomes overwhelmed.

page 3: momo falls backwards, knees buckling as if she’s fainted away. the ghost of her soul comes floating out through her mouth, looking very pleased considering the circumstances. a startled pg holds momo up by her arms, alarmed by her girlfriend going limp.

This country can afford anything it wants. Single payer healthcare. Affordable housing. Modern transit systems. High speed rail. Everything is a choice.

A lavender badge ribbon with a goofy horse logo that says "I met a horse at GDC festival of gaming by informa and all I got was this horse." There are other variations of the same ribbon in the background saying things like "nice horse."

A series of 5 badge ribbons. 4 are lavender with a goofy horse logo and phrases like the beginning of the Wikipedia article on "Horse" and the phrase "horse." There is also a gold ribbon with a realistic horse on it. It says HORSE HORSE HORSE in large, descending script and is cut off at the printing borders. An arrow points to the horse

If you see me at GDC, make sure to ask for your very own "I met a horse at GDC Festival of Gaming by Informa, and all I got was this horse" ribbon.

If you're lucky you could even pull the ultra rare gold-type realistic horse ribbon.

About two a month if I have time

Long-COVID Sufferer Awarded Nearly $1M After Employer Refused to Let Her Work From Home | Law.com A jury in Nassau County awarded $954,000 to a longtime employee of Stony Brook University Hospital Blood Bank.

A woman with Long Covid won almost one million dollars in a lawsuit against her employer who refused to allow her work from home accommodations.

May this set a precedent.

Remote work should be accessible to all who need it.

It’s a game changer for people with disabilities.

The industry sucks right now but, go make things for you, not for capitalism, and when the dust clears show the world.

You have value

Your work has value

Stay hydrated, stay alive, ask for help

You're not alone

Don’t let them take silly away from you
