An in-game fly from Palestine lives for 73.5 seconds, matching World Health Organization life expectancy data from 2021, most recent year available

Unicef say Palestinian life expectancy dropped from 77 in 2022 to 65 in 2023

Another study found life expectancy in Gaza dropped 35 years vs pre-war

In the game, Japanese flies live longest. Swiss flies are near the top of the list, too.

About his own country's high number, one of the developers told me: "It's a number that makes you feel guilty a little bit, no?

A clever game about flies and brief lives encounters the limits of statistics Switzerland is “easy mode” in Time Flies, as is Japan. But, in the game, Palestine presents a problem.

NEW: The game Time Flies is about racing to do things during a fly's brief life

Fly lifespans in-game are tied to real human lifespans by country

Just before release, the devs added data for Palestine--from 2021

I wrote about what that covers and what it doesn't

This is what fascism looks like.

Inside Trump’s New Tactic to Separate Immigrant Families The practice appears to be a more targeted version of the mass separation of migrant children from their parents from President Trump’s first term, which caused a global outcry.

ICE officers told a couple they could leave the U.S. with their child and return to Russia, which they had fled seeking political asylum. Or they could remain in immigration detention but their 8-year-old son would be taken away and sent to a shelter for unaccompanied children.

Nintendo Direct Narrator: My wife has left me and I'm turning to drinking...in this cozy farm sim coming to Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 systems

He said, she said, it said: I used ChatGPT as a couple's counselor. How did we fare? Looking for backup, I turned to an AI chatbot for relationship wisdom. It took my side. It was only when I challenged the bot's biases — and my own — that we had a communication breakthrough.

Nintendo's Directs are getting too lean I think. Generally their brevity, pace, and... Directness are a virtue, but covering a ton of games in just 25 or 15 minutes gives little time to showcase gameplay or unique features. They need to sell these games a little, not just announce release dates.

Yosemite employees worked for weeks with no pay before the government hired them Seasonal employees counting on housing at Yosemite were asked to volunteer for the park while the government was unable

Thanks to Trump's cuts, seasonal employees at Yosemite worked for as long as six weeks without pay.

The National Park Service is one of our most popular government agencies.

It's being gutted to fund enormously unpopular tax cuts for the super-rich.

Most people don’t know this about their oolong! 🍵😍
