The phrase "professional activist" is functionally meaningless. It's a term that politicians and corporate targets have used for generations to discredit anyone who's effectively challenged them. Anyone who deploys it in earnest to discredit deeply committed people is broadcasting their ignorance.

at every step, this current wave of technology has been built on a total lack of consent. their literal legal argument is, "this industry couldn't exist if we had to get permission from the people who made it possible" it was always going to be rotten. bsky.app/profile/priv...

This is a great expression of the thing I keep saying about text-generating algorithms: “Hallucination” isn’t some kind of glitch. ALL their responses are hallucinations. Sometimes they align with reality, sometimes they don’t.

A post by c.a.t.y.a.y that reads, "I wonder what my art could've been if I didn't quit". Iggy responds, "I wonder what it will be if you start again"

I know this is something I circle back to a lot, but it honestly feels, to me, like half the attacks on our trans siblings roots back to "children aren't people." The doctor said "boy," so I get to be the parent of a boy child! Not a girl child! How dare my child want things I don't want?!

I live in Alberta. This time last year we were drowned out by separitist chuds. Now we rejected Provincial meddling in our civic elections, used our provinces own laws that they made to reject the issue of separation, and 24+ MLAs are in the process of having *their* recall legislation used on them.

Meanwhile, in Manitoba… At least one premier has a grasp of just how serious using the notwithstanding clause is… And is taking steps to ensure that at least one province doesn’t use it before hearing from the courts. #abpoli #ableg #cdnpoli

Canadians don’t actually have rights when premiers can use the notwithstanding clause at will to revoke them. This is a giant problem.

Read it again. Next year. You have to preorder the vaccine over a full year in advance or you just don't get one. So, Alberta folks, go do that. And then get really vocal about how weird, unhinged, and harmful this is as a decision.

I am begging Canadians to understand that Canada Post, like public transit, should not be a business - it's a service. Canada Post is a lifeline for rural, remote and Northern communities and overall, we need to re-evaluate why people think they "need" random shit delivered ASAP.

"but art should be accessible" it is, you can learn to draw, paint, collage, sculpt, make pixels. right now, starting today. art has never been more accessible monetarily nor physically than it is now in this age. access to artist labor and machine production is not an accessibility issue.

in ~17 years, the writers and narrative designers have consistently been the kindest, smartest folks I've worked with in game dev. they take some of the stupidest interference from leadership while delivering, time after time. diminishing their contributions is a short road to worse games.
