I went to meet the 'Rockstar 31', the developers who were suddenly fired from their work on GTA 6 for what the studio has described as gross misconduct.
That's not what the workers call it though. They have another couple of words they prefer to use: union busting.

A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The amount of AI generated art in slides at this conference, primarily used by older scientists, is killing me. Scientists please. Don’t use these ai platforms to make your figures or slides. They look bad and I have yet to see them meaningfully improve the message of talks.

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.

conservatives are increasingly going to deal with issues because they treat a man being murdered in broad daylight and a beloved character being recast with a black actor as the exact same level of severity. everything is a crisis and the only acceptable response is to "crush" the enemy

For those still on the fence about naming Zionism as the ideological force behind the genocide in Gaza, this is all zionism has ever presented to Palestinians. This is all Palestinians have seen at the hands of zionist colonialism since 1948: destruction, theft, extermination. That is what it is.

The German police brutally assault an Irish woman protesting against Israel's genocide.
The German state is a disgrace.
It committed genocide against the Jewish people - far from its only genocide.
It forced Palestinians to pay the price, viciously silencing anyone who objects

A tipping point has been reached.
Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.
Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.
You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.
