I'm still waiting for SEGA to acknowledge the freedom fighters exist. I understand that they don't really fit with the current... VIBES of the Sonic franchise but I love them too much I want them back.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Gaming Habits, Conventions, and Disability Intersectionality Hi all! My name is Sara Winters. I am blind (due to a genetic condition called ocular albinism), a disability accessibility consultant, and gamer, and while I've done a ton of work in the accessibilit...

Hello fellow nerds! I've got a hypothesis about the intersectionality of gamers and disabilities I'm trying to test. Even if you're not a gamer or disabled, please take 10 minutes and fill this out!

Thanks so much, and feel free to ask me any questions.

In the Denver area, yeah. Not so much outside of it, they're just out numbered by the folks in the metro area (thankfully).

steam is apparently allowing "this game had AI in it that it didn't disclose" as a valid return statement, so if you or anyone you know actually paid $70 for slop, get that money back

Please stop using language that suggests that people with criminal records are appropriate targets for this administration's violence. One in three adults has a criminal record. Stop playing sacrifice games with fascists. Stop surrendering entire categories of people in your own mind.

Totally wild that Jesse Eisenberg said no to the Zuckerberg sequel but signed up for a third Now You See Me film.

As the old journalism adage goes, if a man accidentally shoots a dog it is not news but it is news when

"What if we made an ad based on 'how do you do fellow kids'?"

spare a thought for the poor souls who spent years working towards getting an invite to sex pest island only to have it cruelly snatched away

Amazon announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

They were SO UPSET about having to meet online to avoid spreading a pandemic, but federal agents raiding a church is fine if the people that attend it are brown I guess 🙃

Church members flee as federal agents arrive at east Charlotte place of worship Witnesses say one man was detained while doing yard work while his wife and child were inside.

"Congregants of an east Charlotte church scattered into the woods Saturday when masked federal agents arrived and detained one of their members, according to witnesses."

This is not a movie about some tyrannical authoritarian government takeover.

It's real life.

It's MAGA America.

Every so often I run into one of the sanctimonious "pet ownership is unethical" types, and 100% of the time it turns out they don't know how pets end up in shelters. They think it's a supply-and-demand situation where if people stop adopting then the cat factory will simply cease production. 🤦‍♀️

Donate blood with the American Red Cross from 11/17 - 12/7 to score these Pac-Man items while supplies last.

Bill Clinton was accused of abuse before he became president. Multiple accusations.

Folks, please don't attack @meghankelly.bsky.social, who is NOT Megyn Kelly. She seems to be a perfectly nice audiobook narrator w/ no connection to the vile beast who (almost) shares her name. Let's not let her log on to find unwarranted nastiness. And make sure you're @-ing the person you mean to!

I seriously doubt they'll make MP4 assuming people have played the previous games with how much time has passed!

A screenshot of a tweet from Ludwig saying: a couple weeks ago I found out one of my oldest viewers passed away she started following when i had 100 viewers she was super active in chat, funny, and helped turn my goofy dream of being a streamer into a full fledged career she was also trans, and my community was one of the few places she felt comfortable expressing that in so today in her memory im doing a charity stream for the Trevor project ty to anyone who tunes in or donates rip kanabana

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

Private equity firm Sycamore Partners bought Walgreens.

Now Walgreens has stopped giving most workers paid vacation on Thanksgiving, Christmas and other major holidays.

Private equity takeovers are a disaster for workers, and customers.

A big reason proc gen feels so different to AI in spite of superficial similarities is exactly this!!

Proc Gen systems reflect the interests and creative preferences of the tool makers, whereas AI is catch-all sludge that reflects no specific point of view. It’s not remotely the same!

GBA duology #GoldenSun began 24 years ago today (2001)! ☀️ With stunning pixel art, a great OST, and tons of clever puzzles and magic gameplay. We needed Camelot to make a new one by now, but they're currently stuck in Mario Sports purgatory. 🙏
