"The rule of law is under vicious attack in this province and I am not the first, nor will I be the last, to call this out. When an institution is silent in the face of what is happening in this province, that silence is complicity." Another resignation at the Law Society.

Reading, and writing, are holy. I love reading novels because they tell me something. They say: "this is what someone believed enough to dedicate months or years of their life to say." This is just as true for the trashiest pulp as it is for the highest literature.

the thing about the "you're out of touch if you haven't heard this song" discourse is that radio has been dead for well over a decade. it's extremely normal to listen to a lot of music but still never hear the songs at the top of the charts.

Everything this government does begins (and often ends) with one calculation: how can we help the oil and gas industry? Not workers. Not Albertans. Not even businesses. Just one industry -- one that's clearly captured this government.

The Kongregate page for Don't Shit Your Pants has maybe the funniest game news update of all time

"Hey everyone, we’ve taken the veil off of for our latest game. I’m sorry to say it’s not Don’t Piss Your Pants, but we think it’s just as cool.

Our newest game is called Rogue Legacy, a procedurally-generated “Rogue-Lite” with an in-depth heritage system. We’re super proud of it, but right now we need your help to get it on Steam.

If you’ve enjoyed the games we’ve made in the past, it would mean the world to us if you could visit the page below, and give [...]"

We'll keep on pointing at this comic by @skutchdraws.bsky.social and @hbomberguy.bsky.social until it's embarrassing for tech bros to call you a luddite for hating AI! More of Failure to Launch in the link bsky.app/profile/iron...
"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" A simpleton looking peasant yells as they smash the wooden machine.

The standard narrative goes that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. (But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.)

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight. 

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

a digital illustration riffing on the "de-bimbofication" meme format, titled "the bilbo-fication of thranduil". depicts the tall, slender and glowing elf king thranduil stumbling across the redbook of westmarch, reading it, and transforming over five drawings into the short, round hobbit bilbo.

"Devolver and its board are seeking shareholder approval to delist, believing becoming a private company is in the best interests of Devolver, its employees, its partners, and its Shareholders as a whole," a spokesperson for the company told GamesIndustry.biz.

"We’ve made an announcement about this.

"The purpose is simple and positive. Being private will allow the Devolver Digital team, especially the finance, legal, and executive team, to singularly focus on the long-term health of the company and less on satisfying the requirements of the public market, which have nothing to do with being a successful game publisher."

The TOS being so strict that they control you offsite is the problem; sites like Patreon and Kofi have offsite clauses too. The social criminalization of the suggestion that somewhere you might be doing nsfw is a problem. It's branding a person as obscene and we need consumers to stand up for us

Mamdani wants to make it easier for consumers to cancel gym memberships and magazine subscriptions…so, just like Trump’s authoritarian overreach.
But the appearance of overreach could also spook the business community, much of which is still uncertain about Mr. Mamdani. It could also invite comparisons to other executives, including Franklin Delano Roosevelt, whom Mr. Mamdani has cited approvingly, and President Trump, whose Justice Department has aggressively pushed the limits of the law in seeking to achieve the White House's agenda.
