Happy World Ocean Day! The ocean is the heart of our life support system, without which we’d all be dead. It’s taken up >90% of the heat from global warming and 30% of our CO₂ emissions. In return, we give it 11 million tonnes of plastic annually, which animals ingest and also become entangled in.

Oceans Awash in Plastic Waste
On a day that many might be headed to the beach, take a moment to consider some of the widespread impacts of all of that plastic, and the ongoing efforts to clean it up.

Now that the dust has settled a bit, I'm gonna ramble a bit about how Mythmatch launch went. In short, it went amazing, but it didn't feel that way the whole time. I'll start with reviews. We've got 35 reviews so far and are at 100% positive. I'm super happy with that!

Games are not tech and yet the great people who make them have been owned by Big Tech and are now being discarded en masse, because according to C-suits, tech can replace what they do. It’s a gross miscalculation. Games are art, games need soul. The more we lose talent, the more we’ll lose players.

AI boom means regulator cannot predict future water shortages in England
Datacentres, which do not have to report amount of water used to cool servers, leave Environment Agency with no idea of shortfalls The artificial intelligence boom means the Environment Agency has no idea how much water England will be short of in future decades, as datacentres do not have to report how much they are using to cool their servers. England’s public water supply could be short by 5bn litres a day by 2055 without urgent action to future-proof resources, the government environment regulator has warned, with a shortfall of a further 1bn litres a day for farming, energy generation and powering emerging technologies.

i think it would be useful for us as a society in this strange age to reorient our definitions of words like “art” art being an act of labour that has emotionally expressive purpose and intent leading things like generated “art” to be defined as, perhaps, “visuals” it’s not art, it’s a visual
