I'll post about TTRPGs, wargaming, and news because that's just unavoidable these days on this account. Really into wargaming, I own a bunch of 15mms and currently doing a 6mm project

Now, before everybody panics and runs around like headless chickens, they have yet to introduce the bill, and Graham and Whitehouse have tried to pass this before and failed. The previous versions have never made it past the introduction stage.

So, if this happens, Canadian artists essentially aren't going to be able to take jobs in the US unless they've been silent on the administration for half a decade (which, let's be honest, is unlikely). Absolutely wild, dystopian stuff.

Hearing more and more stories about gig-work vanishing from artists in favor of AI. This was probably the low-hangingest fruit once you had pretty good image-gen AI, because it's often simple, not suuuuper creative work. But this sort of work is the backbone for a lot of arts careers.

Broadly, it's that no one seems to have developed a model of masculinity not based around the patriarchal bargain, so young men are being sold a false bill of goods and spiraling when that becomes clear.
That said, I would not want Scott Galloway in charge of a new vision of masculinity.
