Either the Democrats fix their hearts on Palestine or the party dies.

Pro-Palestine activists formed a human map of Palestine at Spain's San Fermin
Festival, yesterday. Chants of "Palestine is not alone" bellowed through the streets.

WEEPING

I think Arthur Morgan should be a character in every video game.

Not because he's the best character ever written but also because he deserves to have a nice time in Stardew Valley.

I've been told horses poop way more than they depict and I'm reminded why I have snakes over birds. If I'm going to have a weirdo animal, I'll clean up poop once a week rather than every day

Far be it from me to criticize anything about Red Dead Redemption 2, but I don't know why I have to watch my horse shit so much.

New study reveals wealth inequality was never inevitable A recent study published in the journal PNAS is overturning traditional wisdom regarding the origins and inevitability of wealth inequality

A massive study of 50,000 households over 1,000 archaeological sites provides ample evidence that inequality is not a "natural" outgrowth of sophistication. Instead, it is a political choice. Which means, kids, that we don't have to choose it.

Overwhelmed with gratitude to the one and only @sezindevikoehler.bsky.social for citing my work so extensively in her book Much Ado About Keanu! I absolutely cannot wait to dive into this and so, so humbled to be a part of it.

Thank you and congratulations Sezín! ❤️#Academicsky #KeanuReeves

My presentation for the Popular Culture Association went great! I had a fabulous panel member and super engaged audience. I went from doubting I could do it and nearly canceling to killing it. ❤️

I would love that! Did I miss your presentation or is it coming up?

Damn it's almost like the "death panels" they talked about were prophetic

ablebodied people encountering an obvious accessibility aid: "wow this is the laziest and most useless device i have ever seen, who is really out here struggling without this?"

And I know what you're thinking: Brennan, this looks like Steam trash!

I get it. Just try it if any of the above seems fun. As the top review stated, "This is the first game where I feel like I'm robbing the developer."

(Not sponsored, just addicted)

It functions like a critique with empathy while maintaining a light step, which seems like a minor miracle. I hope the creator and the game continue down this path.
Download the demo for free on Steam and you will be (unironically) hooked.

All this is accompanied by a beautiful soundtrack that ocassionally breaks through the ambient sounds of running, burning, and packaging.
The game caught fire after MoistCritikal played it and I am glad to be on the ground floor. It is the most fully realized, humorous/effective dealer simulator.

As you expand your empire, moving from basic weed to mixed with substances, to m*th, to c*caine, you begin to be increasingly harrassed by your customers and the police as the state you live in becomes clearer. And, from time to time, you find the bodies of your clients

You play as a dealer, starting from the bottom, in a near-future dystopia where there is a strict curfew. Everyone in your world is a potential customer, as you hear gunshots and screams at night. The world is littered with trash and no one holds any power except the cops and the dealers themselves.

TW: drugs
Schedule I is the single most addictive indie game I've played this side of Stardew Valley. It is also a one-man passion project, funneling years of work into the gameplay, atmosphere, and music to create a fully realized world that is easy to enter and hard to master.

Murderers you see every day:

Cops
Anti-vaxxers
People against trans healthcare

You should react to them the same way you would react to any serial killer: disgust and shunning.
