The Epstein files document what many women researchers have long experienced but rarely seen laid bare so starkly: exclusion operating behind closed doors, shaping who gets funded, invited, mentored, and taken seriously. How many of these networks, norms, and gatekeepers remain in place?

This is a very important quote from the interview that I hope every single company hoping to capitalize on the gaming industry reads and internalizes. Games are a unique market, and you can't just apply strategies from other industries and find success. This has been proven time and time again.

“But what do you expect them to do??”

A: How about what the Minneapolis chief of police said they would do, on Dec. 5 2025?

Okay, folks- I know we all have plenty to do, but if you're at all concerned about the White House & historic preservation, please consider submitting public comment on Trump's ballroom project; info in this thread.

The ICE surge in Minnesota cost $280M to detain 4k people. Of those- only 30 were accused of violent crimes.

$9 million per capture of the "worst of the worst".

If you have the chance, go see this show. Jazz Emu is a singular experience live.

the overseer of project 2025 is telling you out loud that every inch you cede on trans rights is part of the plan to create a white christian fascist state

Hackers Expose Age-Verification Software Powering Surveillance Web Three hacktivists tried to find a workaround to Discord’s age-verification software. Instead, they found its frontend exposed to the open internet.

"Never bet against Cameron" has been a a battle cry for a quarter century now, but recently he's been advocating for replacing VFX artists with AI & advocating against a streaming company merging with a studio all to protect his massive budget alien fucking movies, and frankly it's fucking bullshit.

Your regular reminder that Palantir started out as a way to expose sex workers to police violence, then expanded to allow cops to spy on anyone they pointed at while barfing out the word "gang".

Fascists *created* Palantir, but useful idiots approved of everything done to grow it.

The terms of the debate haven't changed at all for Republicans, but now comes the part where "respectable" anti-trans actors like the NTY are forced to shed the fig leaf of "fairness in sports," and join in on directly questioning "the validity of transgender identity."

This one hits hard.

The level of anger normal Minnesota people have at their elected representatives is palpable. It's not about party, but the perceived failure of local/state electeds to do anything of substance to protect residents who pay their taxes and get left facing off alone against masked, armed men.

Across the US, people are dismantling and destroying Flock surveillance cameras Anger over ICE connections and privacy violations is fueling the sabotage. PLUS: 10,000 drivers call on Uber to repay stolen wages, a man is arrested at a public hearing about a data center and more.

Across the US, people fed up with Flock cameras surveilling their communities, and with local governments that are often unwilling to listen to concerns over privacy violations and ICE data sharing practices, are taking matters into their own hands—and tearing them down.

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Turns Out There Was Voter Fraud in Georgia—by Elon Musk The state board of elections found Musk’s PAC sent prefilled ballot applications.

The story that Elon Musk committed voter fraud has gotten next to no coverage -- one of those things you can't make come up on a Google search.

But I think it's time for Dems to go on offensive abt right wing coddling of this immigrant interfering in our elections.

What is Rule IX? - Citizens' Impeachment Rule IX of the House of Representatives allows any member to force a vote on impeachment, without the approval of House leadership.

Hey there, director of @citizensimpeachment.com. Any representative can begin impeachment proceedings at any time using Rule IX. They do not have to wait on anyone. They can act as their conscience demands, right now, this minute. Citizensimpeachment.com/ruleix

You cannot ethically do this @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social — not even after 7 days, not even with Dept of Homeless Services leading instead of the NYPD. There is no ethical way to harass and steal from people who have been so failed by society. The only ethical thing you can do is to give them a home.

YouTube video by MNHouseInfo Motion to bring up HF3405 on House Floor 2/19/26

N.B it’s on Facebook but you don’t have to be (I’m not) to see the video.

But here’s a YouTube link to the same speech, hopefully cued up to the right moment. It’s the MN House’s info account: youtu.be/Sf5zPp_QL1Q

In the concentration camp universe, this is what's known as a filtration camp. A government preemptively takes a whole class of people to interrogate and detain extrajudicially in order to inflict duress on them while arbitrarily assessing their (supposed) culpability.

pedophile prince arrested in england. insurrectionist president sentenced to life in prison in south korea. meanwhile every day for our pedophile insurrectionist president is like a birthday party for a mentally disabled boy with rich parents.

ICE is still here in Minnesota.

The only difference in the “drawdown” I am seeing is a shift from the Bovino actions that were done for confrontation and conflict for the cameras to more snatch and grabs that are no less awful, if more dispersed.

Until they are all home.

Until we are all safe.

Getting shown up in the arena of elite impunity by *the British monarchy* is an incredible “America at 250!” achievement

You could change Dilley for Dachau and this story would be essentially indistinguishable from a news story about one of the most horrific WW2 concentration camps in history.

I regularly see people wondering how it's possible that there are so many musicians and writers and film makers and artists from a tiny nation like Iceland.

And the answer is really simple: State funding for art education and artists. I literally get a salary from the government to write books.
