not sure if this is the most implausible thing that has happened to me but it's got to be top three
screenshot from the Simpsons fan wiki reading:

""Treehouse of Horror XXXVII" is an upcoming episode of The Simpsons[5] from Season 38, as well as the thirty-seventh Treehouse of Horror episode.

Plot
The original opening is a “Simpsons”/“Nightmare Before Christmas” mashup, produced by Stoopid Buddy Stoodios — featuring “Simpsons” versions of the “Nightmare Before Christmas” characters.

One segment is inspired by the British novel “The Husbands,” by Holly Gramazio, in which Homer goes to the shed and comes out as a different husband for Marge. Suddenly, she’s married to Lenny. Or Kang and Kodos."

I got an email from this guy yesterday. He's going to be at PRGE, probably networking and fishing for more interviews. My plea to any developers or industry people he approaches: Please don't accept his requests. Please don't enable hate. Everyone else, please be civil. Preferably just ignore.

What is the most ridiculously tiny visual detail you've seen a game bother to recreate? Lego Horizon Adventures simulates the microscopic variations in height on the 'smooth' side of studless tiles, so if you angle light at them you can see the outline of the holes on the back side.

Several weeks ago, Phil Tippett's legendary animation studio in Berkeley, CA closed. An anonymous hero noticed a folder of CDs. This turned out to be hundreds of unseen hi-res images and videos from Star Wars, Robocop, Jurassic Park, etc. ~90 isos for you to browse: archive.org/details/tipp...

Yep! It was around forever, marketed effectively and relentlessly by Virgin Mastertronic, had loads of bangers and was reasonably priced. Nintendo UK were more or less useless prior to the Wii era, no leverage so many games came out late / in limited quantities /never and prices were prohibitive

it’s come to my attention that my tumblr post has been crossposted to bluesky, so I’m posting it on my account here #AntiAI #GenAI
recently my friend's comics professor told her that it's acceptable to use gen AI for script-writing but not for art, since a machine can't generate meaningful artistic work. meanwhile, my sister's screenwriting professor said that they can use gen AI for concept art and visualization, but that it won't be able to generate a script that's any good. and at my job, it seems like each department says that AI can be useful in every field except the one that they know best.

It's only ever the jobs we're unfamiliar with that we assume can be replaced with automation. The more attuned we are with certain processes, crafts, and occupations, the more we realize that gen AI will never be able to provide a suitable replacement. The case for its existence relies on our ignorance of the work and skill required to do everything we don't.

For all that it's been barely reported in the UK press, it's still hard to understate the importance of the stance @labourunionsuk.bsky.social has taken on trans and non-binary rights this week. Every single trade union affiliated to the party of government has stood up and said we will not comply.
Joint statement from National TULO

Solidarity with the trans and non-binary community

Labour's 11 affiliated trade unions stand in total solidarity with the trans and non-binary community.

Trans rights are human rights, and trans rights are workers' rights.

We in the trade union movement will do all we can to stand up for our trans members and all our trans siblings, to protect them from persecution, harassment and attack.

The government must act now to protect all trans people, to make sure their rights are protected, expanded and upheld in our workplaces and communities.

Labour Unions
