I wrote about web scraping for political/artistic purposes for the first issue of the journal Critical AI: https://read.dukeupress.edu/critical-ai/article/doi/10.1215/2834703X-10734046/382464/Scrapism-A-Manifesto
just added 100th card to my game! making a Lua-based card scripting system is really paying off and now that I have the API pretty much set, I can churn out like 10-15 cards a day

🧵 Since Unity is becoming the worst digital landlord, developers could form something like a tenants' union, and jointly put forward demands like:

- competitive revenue share
