Det här är så otroligt dåligt av regeringen. De försvårar aktivt för alla som vill resa klimatsmart. Det är redan för dyrt och krångligt att ta tåget till kontinenten - regeringen verkar vilja göra det omöjligt.
Byt regering - satsa på nattågen.

there’s this weird idea a lot of people seem to have about how all of us writers and artists must secretly want to use AI and are merely resisting temptation for ethical reasons, and like, no, it’s not hard for me to resist drinking the bowl of Piss With Glass In It actually

Month of Darkness 05: Show me your fangs

No lick in particular this time. Skipping hair and likeness to any OC and just having some fun. Teeth are fucking hard.

Jumping around a bit, and keeping things skechtier.

I struggle with this also. It’s good to get out on a daily basis if possible, but it’s difficult to make it a habit if I don’t really have a specific reason to go out. ^^;

‼️🚨KICKSTARTER WORKERS ARE ON STRIKE🚨‼️

As of 8am this morning, the workers of Kickstarter United/OPEIU Local 153 are on strike.

WE ARE NOT ASKING FOR A BOYCOTT! Creators and allies, please continue using and supporting the platform.

Kickstarter United is on strike!
We are not asking for a boycott! Creators & Allies: Please continue to support & use the platform
swipe for ways to show your solidarity

Why We're Striking
A codified 4-day work week.
We simply want to protect the way we've been working for over 3.5 years. The 4dww has proven benefits, such as increased productivity and improved employee satisfaction. It's part of what makes Kickstarter a special, innovative place to work.
Fair pay for our lowest-paid workers.
We're fighting for livable minimum salaries for roles that are undervalued by the market but crucial to keeping Kickstarter running. We believe none of our workers should struggle to make ends meet.

EA: Mmhmm, mmhmm, mostly guns and football, yep.

Buyers: No gay stuff? No politics we're not going to like?

EA: Haha, definitely not! Hey, could you give me one sec? I just need to shut down a studio real quick.

This whole section really.

Finally: AI cannot do your job, but an AI salesman can 100% convince your boss to fire you and replace you with an AI that can't do your job, and when the bubble bursts, the money-hemorrhaging "foundation models" will be shut off and we'll lose the AI that can't do your job, and you will be long gone, retrained or retired or "discouraged" and out of the labor market, and no one will do your job.
AI is the asbestos we are shoveling into the walls of our society and our descendants will be digging it out for generations:

Whatever the industry, it's never great when a handful of people own more of the things

Beyond this, continuing the trend of fewer and fewer powerful people and companies owning more and more things, both in the games industry and beyond, is no good for anyone. As companies consolidate, their leaders’ choices and priorities ripple out into everything they own, letting them alter massive swathes of industries. In the case of this consortium, those choices are motivated by far more than just a desire to make a shit-ton of money–members have ties to, or literally are, some of the most powerful and conservative governments in the world. The PIF is a political project above all, with games being a means to an end. Kushner is obviously susceptible to the Trump administration’s meddling, as is Silver Lake, with its rumored TikTok deal deeply embedded in Trump’s priorities. As games swing back into the Right’s spotlight, everyone involved will surely feel the pressure of the Trump administration on whatever happens next. Once the deal closes in 2027, a handful of people are going to come out richer than ever, and a majority of people are going to get fucked.

Our storyteller described the logo of the sewer workers our vampires encountered as being a real hate-character, which I hope I managed to illustrate lol.

Sara Hjertkvist - 2d Artist @sarahjertkvist.com · 13d

A bit difficult to see the apparent vampire connection here, but we suspect the company behind this logo are in fact hunters! #vtm #vamily #stupidcompanylogos #illustration
