One of the many reasons a lot of industries pivot toward contractor/gig work is because there are less worker protections One thing I'd like to remind everyone, to that I'm a gig worker protected by a union I get benefits and worker protections. We figured this one out already

I THINK one of the things we're really seeing is a continent, maybe industry-wide shift away from full-time employees and towards gig/codev work. And that transition looks like layoffs across the board even from studios that just had big successes.

Replying to @maxnichols.bsky.social

And in practice this also means jobs leaving the US market and going towards codev studios in cheaper locations. When I was at Epic they were already heavily leaning on Brazilian and eastern European codevs, and I assume that after they did more layoffs that only increased.

guys i hate discord but this is super not them making your dms public or whatever. all this does is make 1000+ member public servers searchable. so, you know, all those games you play where you have to join to get information? you may not need to join now

In 2005, Time Magazine did a cover story on “The Battle Over Gay Teens.” It’s the same handwringing we see now from “concerned” adults on behalf of young people. “Kids are disclosing their homosexuality with unprecedented regularity–and they are doing so much younger.” time.com/archive/6596...

Josh Turek of Iowa, Democrat, comes out with one of the worst anti-trans ads yet. Not only is it an anti-sports ad, it proposes a ban on federal funding for gender affirming care. That would hit all medicaid and medicare patients, and any ACA federally-subsidized plans as well. Horrific.

before I forget, I'm really happy that the success of Coyote Vs Acme led to a resurgence of appreciation for Tech E. Coyote & Rev Runner, and for Loonatics Unleashed #TribLikesStuff there's was a time where even mentioning that show would get you dogpiled, even the Animaniacs reboot joked about it

The furry community is really bad about promoting furry media that's actually made BY FURRIES and will instead exclusively promote childrens media that happens to have anthro characters There's furry books, comics, there used to be conlang projects Support your fellow artist if you want furry art

pretty clear evidence that republicans in the US losing any election going forward are going to always beg for a coup if they lose. lots of people will have to go to jail
