Pour yourself a cup of ambition. It’s Dolly Parton Day.
bit.ly
It's officially Dolly Parton Day, with parades, pink lights and book drives
Communities worldwide are dedicating Friday to honoring Dolly Parton. The day falls on Sept. 25, a wink at her hit song “9 to 5.”

Very tired of getting ads for “big and tall” brands because I talk abiut commercial sizes not fitting me. I’m 5’4 and do powerlifting. I don’t need “big and tall,” I need “short and stout.” I need a “teapot” clothing store.

It's no longer enough to give APs a tut-tut about continuing to play DnD. There are plenty of things that disqualify the Hasbro Ampersand but it's simply unacceptable to claim you support queer and marginalized people while still boosting the Brand.

Throwback to this funny exchange when I first started building a setting to run my new game in (which is about to start having games very soon 👀
A screenshot of a discord conversation between two users reading as follows:

Orpheus: Can't wait to see the description of Seyoto!
Hawkakux: here's a sneak peek from the factions section: [screenshot showing the text "Government Agencies - Cops: They're cops"]
O: You have cops?! I'm surprised they aren't corporate militas
H: Literally directly above: [screenshot showing above the previously shown section, "Marathon - A paramilitary corporation that focuses on weapons R&D and also trains and employs a large number of professional mercenaries"]
O: Cops: when you aren't good enough for the paramilitary
H: basically, yeah. just like real life

There are endless studies showing this and also the financial and societal benefits of universal basic income and or housing-first policies but the U.S. never goes for any of it because it would require allowing the poor to receive benefits that the rich consider “undeserved”

As a new Harry Potter trailer makes the rounds, it bears repeating that there’s no way to watch this show without supporting J.K. Rowling’s bigotry and the structural violence she’s inflicting on the trans community.

There is no ethical consumption of HBO’s Harry Potter series
You can’t without supporting Rowling’s transphobic bigotry.

"saudi arabia owns EA" is going to be the headline you see basically everywhere for this one but "jared kushner is about to use EA as a vehicle for trump administration bribes" is equally relevant imo
The firm is fully owned by Jared Kushner and has a staff of approximately 20 people.[2][5] By 2024, the firm had returned no profits to its investors.[6] The firm has been controversial due to conflicts of interests arising from Kushner soliciting funds from Middle Eastern governments while also working as an envoy having direct and indirect dealings with those governments in his role in the second Trump administration.[7] According to reporting by Bloomberg News, investors in the firm do so with the expectation of influencing the Trump administration.[8]

Sounds like AI is a huge liability and billionaires are mega-crybaby about it as per. "established studios with a positive track record see a "catastrophic" 40% to 60% drop in sales when they use AI"
The CEO behind the AI-infused Unreal Engine 6 doesn't like Steam's forced AI disclosure policy
Story by Cale Hunt • 21h

A couple of days ago, I wrote an article about how researchers discovered an "AI stigma" affecting Steam games that disclose the use of AI during development. For me, the most shocking piece of data revealed that established studios with a positive track record see a "catastrophic" 40% to 60% drop in sales when they use AI.

Folks over on Meta telling new creators not to worry about the quality of their games, but to focus on marketing & funding. As someone focused on marketing & funding, let me tell you that is infinitely easier with a quality game. Also, what a weird way to tell people your games are shit.
