If you're not trans, I don't think I can fully explain how important this is.

It's so powerful that one of the most circulated science media publications in the world has come out and said "trans children are real and providing transition care improves their lives." That's groundbreaking.
The name "Popular Science" doesn't mean we shift our coverage depending on public opinion. It means we cover relevant subjects that are rigorously researched, reliable, and grounded in reality.

And trans lives are grounded in reality.

We see y'all. No matter what.

First-of-a-kind study shows encouraging data for trans kids who socially transition
Ninety-four percent of participants in a new study stood firm in their trans identity after five years, and "detransitioning" is rare.

At about $60K that's about 128 million graduate team indie games, at $150K about 500,000 small indie games, at $300K about 250,000 mid-size debut indie games, or at around $950K about 110,000 indie games by a team of more experienced devs.

There are a total of 110,000 indie games on Steam.

I cannot say this enough: DO NOT WATCH THE BANANA FISH AI DUB! Not because you're curious, not to laugh at it, AND NOT TO MAKE CONTENT CRITICIZING IT! Amazon does not care why you watched it, they just care that you did. LEAVE IT ALONE AND LET IT FAIL.

As someone who loves to watch so-bad-its-good content PLEASE understand you can't give shit like this the time of day

The only way to convince these companies to not use AI dubbing is to show it's not profitable, STAY AWAY from hate-watching and instead spend that time watching dubs you love
The only thing less human than these AI dub performances is the decision to sign off on them

A company this big can pay human actors a decent wage, not produce slop that intentionally removes the human element.

Game company sows misinformation to cover up union busting, fans fall for it, actual employee posts explaining the employees were fired to prevent the studio unionizing

This is *unacceptable*
This wasn’t about leaking GTA VI.

It was:
Rockstar illegally firing union members to stop the studio from unionizing.

it directly contradicts Rockstar’s PR narrative and confirms almost everything that people suspected was going on.

Friendly but firm reminder that Soken, as a cancer survivor, is immunocompromised and will never have a healthy immune system ever again.

IF YOU CAN’T BE ASSED TO MASK UP FOR YOURSELF OR YOUR FELLOW CON-GOERS, THEN MASK UP FOR SOKEN.
with fanfest coming back around people are reflecting on the furry covid comic about it but as someone who went, there were shockingly few people actually wearing masks. if you go this year i’d really recommend an N95. people knowingly go to huge public events with infectious diseases.

if you're going to a protest today I wish you luck. The only specific thing I will beg of you is this: don't use milk to wash out tear gas or mace. if you see a street medic with milk, yell at them until they throw it out. do not continue to spread lies about emergency medicine.

Milk does not go in eyes. Water is what you use to wash out chemical irritants. Just water. Ignore all other advice to the contrary unless you have a fucking medical degree of some sort in which case go off king/queen
