It’s morbidly fascinating to see still-living celebrities get the “wonky-elvis-painted-onto-a-fairground-waltzer” treatment at hyperspeed via generative AI. Like… Robert Downey Jr, is that… you in this online pop-up ad? Kind of? I can see you in there!

I may delete this because it’s a bit spicy but it shouldn’t be lost on us that games being turned into TV is essentially harvesting the stories written by those who don’t have union representation or healthcare with WGA by those that do. Our stories are good enough for TV but the writers aren’t?

Thread. A lot of people need this right now, not just in games. I saw the jobs numbers this morning too.
I just saw this instagram post from the incredibly talented and breathtakingly hilarious Kate Welch, who was laid off around a year ago, and I wanted to share it here. It’s an important message, and you deserve to read it:

The 50 wealthiest families in the UK own more than 34 million people combined.
That level of inequality is totally unsustainable.
A wealth tax isn’t radical - it’s inevitable. And the Green Party will keep making the case.

"If nothing is guaranteed, why crush myself against the uncertainty that rips out my heart, game after cancelled game, gut wrench after corporate gut wrench? Why not pursue an uncertainty which gladdens me, and, by the way, is unobstructed by the confident mistakes of creeps, ghouls, and trolls?”
