This should be so obvious that it doesn’t need to be said, but given what kind of weekend it’s been on here, apparently it does: If you don’t want old rapists running the world, in office, in the board room, making decisions for all of us get comfortable with “ruining” young rapists’ lives

If you want to identify a whole lot of people in and around game development and journalism, in addition to the expected randos, who are absolutely not safe people in terms of protecting and excusing predators, here you go.

Because it's buried at the bottom of the article and CNN is presenting it in a misleading way: before people worry, the "unknown" part is how the worker was exposed, the pathogen is good old fashioned Y. pestis which we understand extremely well and can treat just fine if caught early

You know it's going to be a good season of Survivor when a person literally chops off part of their thumb on accident and it's not the most memorable part of the episode >.>

Is it legal to feel like you had two good interviews in the same day? I don't think I've experienced this before.

Super depressing Sunday night watch, but extremely interesting deep dive into the global economic situation and how the games industry is impacted. All I could think while watching it was "never forget, every-fucking-thing is politics" and that's especially true right now.

Pals I see you sharing links to London Daily & need you to know it's AI bullshit. The Louise Michel is real, Banksy really funded it, but that started in 2020 & the LD link people are sharing is timestamped to today but written as if it's 2020 & elides all the actual journalism about it.

Screenshot reads as follows:

Welcome to London Daily, an innovative and unique news experiment driven by advanced artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Our AI system conducts extensive research and fact-checking, presenting a non-biased and diverse perspective on each topic. It meticulously filters out biased or manipulated content, offering you factual summaries essential for your knowledge as an informed citizen.

Super interesting, if not depressing, evaluation of the western games industry right now. One of the more interesting points for me was the idea that tech advancement slowing down keeps 6+ year old games relevant and in direct competition with newer games with the added benefit of nostalgia.
