What's that you say? A UK study aimed at proving that ADHD and autism are over-diagnosed actually found that we are still under-diagnosing both, and lack access to assessments remains a huge barrier to support? What a shocking and unexpected conclusion! www.politicsuk.com/p/fonagy-rev...

There's a reason why the company that produced a string of the best CRPGs ever made no longer exists as of today, and it's not because there's no demand for good CRPGs. It's because our economy has been whittled down to three industries: value extraction, gambling and fraud.

If you're a roleplaying designer, put something like this in all your contracts. If you're a fiction writer, put something like this in all your contracts. (Except it needs to add marketing with AI as also forbidden).

John Scalzi@scalzi.com

I've mentioned before I've updated my contracts to make sure everything in the production of my books is done by humans and not "AI"; if you're wondering what such a thing looks like, here's a clause covering that from a recent contract.

The name of New Mexico is funny because it's one of those things that you'd think is really simple (oh, it's it used to be part of old Mexico, so we'll call it New Mexico!), but it's much more complex New Mexico as the name for the area predates Mexico by several hundred years!

But, like, New America wouldn't make any sense because this is still the original America and... You know what, forget it

it's honestly kind of wild to watch 50+ years of "noooo the coups and corporate malfeasance weren't part of the plannnnn we were just trying to promote democracyyyyy" liberal revisionism get one-shotted by the stupidest man on the planet

The US arrests more 5 year olds than any other country. Yes I said arrest, as in handcuffs, cop car, jail. We don't even notice because half of them are Black and many of the rest are "more than one race" which means cops thought they were Black. We station cops in school with electric shock gloves

What nation arrests and locks up the most 5 year olds in the world? 30,000 children under 10 since 2013? Clue #1: ~Half of the 5 year olds locked up are Black, because it's a super racist country. Clue #2: Other than Black parents, most of their own citizens don't care enough to oppose it.

If you haven't been following the new Meta terms discussion, according to their new terms, anything you post and anything on any site you link to, even if it isn't your site, they will be claiming the right to use to train their "AI" as of October 30th.

Related to this, I would be *delighted* to get more pointers towards Indigenous freelance illustrators.

I'm not saying it was a quest hook, I'm just saying I'd feel pretty stupid if I ignored it and missed the beginning of my adventure.

WHAT THE EVERLOVING FUCK IS THIS. This AI slop account just *made up* an incorrect picture of this game's box and contents. It took me 5 seconds to find a good publicity photo of the actual game. Humans work really hard to make games. Have some fucking respect. (Tideward by @connievdc.bsky.social)

Just found out that a reason I probably didn't get a comp copy of a game I worked on is my contact got laid off a few weeks ago after he had worked there 20+ years. Anyway, here's this.

This morning, the D&D team and Magic's Studio X informed our leadership of our intent to unionize. We love the games we make and the work we do, and unionizing is how we protect that work. unitedwizardsofthecoast.com/news/dnd-stu...

I’ve worked with statistical experts to assess traffic stops by state & local police departments across the country. The findings are invariable the same: despite committing traffic violations at roughly the same rates as white drivers, black & brown drivers are more likely to be pulled over.

Wow — that was a history I had no insight into! 🤔 And some great analysis of the current state of football.

99% Invisible@99pi.org

Football helmets can prevent devastating injuries, but they may also help make an inherently violent game feel safer than it really is. Listen to a new episode of 99% Invisible wherever you get your podcasts 👉 https://bit.ly/3UtN9eJ

Today is Indigenous Peoples’ Day. We honor the history, the resilience, of all Indigenous communities, here in Washington state. Chief Seattle was a brave warrior who chosen to build an alliance through trade and coexistence with the newcomers. He was well respected, they named the city after him.

Apparently, I was so excited for this that I pre-ordered it twice! 🤣 As usual, Keith delivers. Great update to an already great book!

A thing I didn’t get until grad school is that Peanuts strips showing Franklin in the same classroom as Peppermint Patty were a deliberate statement that really pissed some dickheads off, enough to get them complaining to the syndicate
