What do technofeudalism, Chinese restaurants, and struggling game platform itch.io have in common? @newmadras.bsky.social has some thoughts, especially about the "platform" part.

Itch.io isn’t like other platforms

It’s like a 3.5 star Chinese restaurant.

Well just when I was feeling okay, I got the court hearing notice that I have to pay $5.7k in order to keep my home (not including what I owe already and paid today).

Here's the proof and court is the 16th of October.

I need so much more help than I realized.

The total amount required to redeem the tenancy is $5347.45 + $417.00 (costs of the action - filing fee and service fee) foe a total of $5764.45, plus any additional amounts or other covenants of the lease which may become due during the pendency of this action. The amount pled not include all money owing under the lease.

In 2025 we have a lot people who celebrate a man hitting a woman. These men are called trans-women and they hit actual women and people celebrate this.
Anyone who celebrates it, they must confess that they have been brainwashed.
Stupidity glorified.

You cannot expect the people who used political violence to get into power to deescalate it because they don't even know how to.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

"AI" generated image of woman with dark hair sitting in a chair in front of posters with random shapes and symbols meant to look like images and text on movie posters, all superimposed with a post from k.w.bogen reading
"AI actresses can't negotiate. They can't say they'd prefer their bodies not be shown certgain ways. They can't refuse degrading scenes. They can't express distress about disturbing content. They can't ask the creators :why would you do that to me? Why put any woman through watching that? If AI film winds up being the path, we're about to see an entirely new generation (and more brutal depiction) of media misogyny."

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:

Final Fantasy Tactics' original writer-director Yasumi Matsuno signalled the timeliness of this remake for a reason: its hero offers a model of resistance.

Book Cover Artists!
QRP with your book covers 📖

I hope to be able to do more covers in 2026, it's always such a fun experience that's so different every time! I'm working on a cover right now that I'm super excited about and I can't wait to show it off in the hopefully not too distant future :>

The cover for Izzy at the end of the World by K.A. Reynolds. The cover shows a fierce looking young girl, Izzy, with her dog. She carries a flashlight and an old CD player

The cover for Nyaegling by Bex Ollerton and Richard Bass. The cover shows Tabitha, a red haired catgirl holding a fancy looking sword, while her friend Nyx stands behind her holding a crystal.

The cover for A Long Time Dead by Samara Breger. The cover depicts a sexy fat blonde vampire with blood running from her red lips. She has big breasts and lots of jewellery

The cover for SENSORY: Life on the Spectrum, an autistic comic anthology. The palette is red and yellow mostly, and the cover depicts an assortment of jumbled items related to autism and sensory experiences
