Executives speak of “sustainable growth.”

Workers are asking for sustainable studios: predictable leadership, stable teams, and long-term planning.

Stability isn’t the opposite of growth. It’s the foundation for it.

This is just like UBI. Every study shows it works and is more cost effective but societies‘ hatred of poor people means we‘d rather pay more to make them suffer.

The 3 late '80s Transformers anime at minimum need a rerelease via a company that does subtitles that aren't awful -- and while we're at it, how about getting Beast Wars II & Neo on home video over here, finally?

Lesser fans of the game than myself have said the spirit of Resi 6 is alive in Resident Evil 9, and that new trailer couldn’t have convinced me more. I’m not going to be able to finish this any time soon, so please enjoy these Sherry Burkin sketches. ✨

Absolutely do NOT give your ID or face scan on Discord. It's even worse than expected. Apparently due to people bypassing current systems, they're switching to "persona" which is funded by fucking Peter Thiel.
