I’m so, so excited that we’re another step closer to sharing Tsultrim’s story with y’all!! It’s been such an honour to be trusted with her journey like this, and we can’t wait for the world to hear her voice🪷

Thanks again to the team at @penguinteen.bsky.social!!!

News from the world of companies using AI to cheat, lie, and steal.

Share this story. It is despicable, and what’s worse, in due time it’s going to be tragically typical and unremarkable.

Unless we fight them. NOW.

Follow the writers/reporters you appreciate wherever they go. Save copies of the articles and pieces they make--don't assume just cuz it's online it lasts forever. Love and good vibes to em all on this very shitty chilly May Day.

I also told him to remember to take breaks when gaming so he doesn’t get joint problems like me. Just my little nuggets of wisdom💅🩻🏥

mic check on set, and instead of talking about my day like a normal person I yapped about how I want a fully voiced FE9/10 remake but I know it’s not realistic and that if they do remake an older game it would probably be idk genealogy I guess especially since Sigurd appeared in—oh I’m all set? okay

We have removed Tenderfoot Tactics from sale on @xbox.com in solidarity with @bdsmovement.bsky.social . We call on others in our community to do whatever they can to fight this historic injustice. Free Palestine 🍉

The Tenderfoot Tactics team has decided to remove our game from sale on Xbox in solidarity with the Palestinian-lead Boycott Divestment and Sanctions campaign, which added Xbox to their priority boycott list earlier this month.

We hope that Microsoft will listen to the voices of their workers and customers and stop all business with the criminal Israeli military, which we have all watched conduct an open genocide in Gaza over the last 18 months.

We hope that the broader community will join in the pressure campaign and fight for an end to occupation and apartheid in Palestine and across the world.

I've seen some people saying how "AI"-generated text is now as good as certain published authors, and honestly I think it's really brave for these folks to admit in public how poor their reading comprehension has to be

2) Sometimes, however, you might have been misled into scabbing and didn't realize it until it was too late.

If you ever find yourself in that position, the correct move is to apologize and resign immediately.

1) When an actor is in the midst of negotiating or fighting for better wages/working conditions, you never swoop in and take their role.

This is called scabbing and I shouldn't have to explain why that's an atrocious thing to do.
