Yesterday the NHS banned all under 18 prescriptions of HRT for trans young people.

This ban was justified by 10 new studies that largely stated NO EVIDENCE for under 18s HRT exists.

The study underpinning this played one particular trick.

Let's briefly look at how the NHS rigged the game 1/5

Guess I’ll just keep making dumb stuff until the earth explodes

"Artists peak at 30", "30 under 30", "by 30 you should" ridiculous. Arts industries capital craves young people to exploit and burn out. It doesn't want older artists thriving and guiding the young. It also doesn't want artists to exist. Stop letting cannibals tell you you only matter on a plate.

ICO writes to Meta over 'concerning' AI smart glasses report Videos, including of glasses-wearers using the toilet or having sex, are sometimes reviewed by a Kenya-based subcontractor.

Last year when I was checking into a hotel, the desk person was wearing Meta glasses. I kindly asked them to take them off. They were annoyed. I said, “I do not consent to you looking at my credit card and ID with Meta glasses on.” My instincts were correct: www.bbc.com/news/article...

Kansas has, overnight, invalidated the drivers’ licenses of trans people, a pointless cruelty that upends their lives

If Brits think “it won’t happen here” think again! Groups in the U.K. who want the same thing are routinely invited to consult with Labour and normalised in our press!

Well I didn't come dead last at least 🙃

I have a red artifacts deck because apparently I'm not satisfied with Magic unless I am making a computer

Doing my first standard MtG tournament tonight woooo, came second in our friendly tournament last night then got some upgrade advice so I'm excited :) I wanna win a cool cat card

Here's a small portion of an animated bumper I made to promote a video game from @owlcatgames.bsky.social (Blind Descent). Seeing the latest advances in generative AI and how they've invaded space, I feel lucky to have at least produced this little piece from start to finish 🥲.

Nine printed out Staff of Nin Magic cards except they're called Staff of Iain and a blonde man in a white shirt is holding a scary looking glowing staff while smiling

I forgot to post that I made one of @iainlobb.bsky.social 's favourite Magic cards for his birthday with his face on it so he can put it in every deck #pixelart #mtgalters #mtg

Of all the easy things you can do to help the environment, conserve water for communities not corporations, not perpetuate scams, support the labor and rights of creators... *not* using generative AI is the fucking easiest. You absolutely deserve to be shamed for using it for image and text creation

NetEase and Marvel Rivals do not deserve your time or your money. No game needs GenAI, ESPECIALLY not one this profitable, this got swept under the rug so hard.

Hold institutions accountable.

Over 50% of game developers now think generative AI is bad for the industry, a dramatic increase from just 2 years ago: 'I'd rather quit the industry than use generative AI' The latest GDC survey also found that managers are more likely to use generative AI than their employees.

"Our standing rule is: If one of us brings up using GenAI in any of our work, then it's safe to assume we've been assimilated by The Thing and should be burned alive by Kurt Russell," said a game design consultant in the US.

Happy birthday!

It's not expensive! There will be more clients out there that do appreciate your time and services 💖

(this doesn't apply to things that are actually worth fighting against, just shit like what garbage is trending on tiktok)

My partner's YouTube algorithm is full of people making content about video clips they found online that they don't like, and it's infuriatingly boring. Personally I love giving things I don't like none of my attention

The "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" meme. The Facebook post is from 27th January 2020

Today is "Large boulder the size of a small boulder" day!
