IS THAT A GOOD RENAISSANCE-LIKE DRESS THAT I'M SEEING WITH BOTH MY EYES

If you want a good object lesson about what we can and can't know about the past, we don't know Ea-Nasir was a dishonest merchant selling shoddy goods.

What we know is we have found a cache of complaint tablets about him selling low quality copper as high quality, in a site that was probably his own residence. We know multiple people complained he was a cheat. It's entirely possible they were right. It's also entirely possible that he kept these complaint letters as records of people he would no longer do business with, because they had made accusations and threats in order to bully him into giving them free copper. That is an equally valid interpretation of the evidence.

My point is not that we have maligned Ea-Nasir, my point is that thousands of years later, we do not and cannot know.

What's the first question that really pops into peoples' minds about Ea-Nasir? I'm trying to write this history down, but I'm struggling.

I saw this on Twitter, and do not know the source, but I think it belongs here.

I messed up the hot glue a little bit but I'm sure my mistake will eventually be lost to time.

Just this week in games:

- EA laid off 700 workers

- Sony laid of 900 workers

- Rockstar announces in-person work mandates for all employees (a 'soft layoff' that will force some staff to quit, which likely means that actual layoffs are forthcoming)

In 2023 6,000 games workers were laid off. Now in 2024 over 10,000 workers have been laid off, and there's still 10 months to go.

Not to be hyperbolic, but I think this is perhaps the worst year for video games ever if we're measuring by number of layoffs.

reminder that EA is still a struck company

in light of the sims 1 & 2 re-release, i wanna make sure others know that SAG AFTRA has requested that nothing be purchased from EA until they negotiate and come to a contract agreement with the union.

you can check this page for more info and any news updates that come up. when the contract is voted on by union members, there will likely be notices here and on sag aftra's social media.
