TR-49: suspicious minds - MoeGamer Inkle's latest adventure, TR-49, is a story about the power of words, delivered through your interactions with a mysterious machine.

Wrote a thing about the excellent TR-49 by @inkle.co. Tried to keep things relatively spoiler-free, as this is a game best experienced knowing as little as possible going into it -- but it's also difficult to talk about without revealing a *few* things about it! moegamer.net/2026/02/01/t...

ICE agents shatter window, leave 1-month-old baby, mother in car after Portland arrest Video shows federal immigration agents leaving behind an infant and broken glass after detaining a Guinean immigrant with no known criminal history.

Video shows ICE leaving behind an infant and broken glass after arresting a man with no criminal history.
โ€œThere was a car seat in the back... There were broken glass shards all over it... There was just this tiny peanut of a baby. He was crying.โ€

The people of Minnesota have executed one of the most impressive civil resistance campaigns I can remember:

- Organized a city wide general strike
- Maintained nonviolent discipline amidst violence
- Mobilized 10,000s in subzero temps to protest and watch ICE
- Flipped public opinion against ICE

You know who I like to think of? John C. Woods - an incompetent drunk who wanted WW2 army money but no WW2 army death, so volunteered as a hangman to avoid combat, botched a loooot of jobs until he made it to Nuremberg to botch some more jobs.
Made top Nazis suffer waaay more than required.

Anyway!

Nonviolence is, in fact, working. This administration is weaker than it was a year ago. More and more of the public is becoming galvanized against it; its agents are being impeded.

This series of games (Cosmic Express, Sokobond Express, and now Spooky Express) will really tickle your noggin while being continually amusing and keeping the vibes immaculate. Basically anything by Draknek and Friends is guaranteed to be a really good time.

Donate to Help Emily out of medical debt from endometriosis surgery, organized by Emily Cross * ยฃ5,000 goal * Hello, friends. Earlier this year, I undโ€ฆ Emily Cross needs your support for Help Emily out of medical debt from endometriosis surgery

I know you all have been asked for money countless times, but my friend the incomparable Emily Cross has been having a really rough medical time. If you are a fan of her bands @lomatheband.bsky.social or Cross Record and you can spare the money it would help her a lot.

On the other hand the NYT is nearly fully in line with the Trump administration in most ways that matter while the Guardian is still reporting from reality land. Given the choice I am with the Guardian.

I hope youโ€™re all enjoying this descent into madness.

So please. Get an eel facts advent calendar. You donโ€™t have to wait until Christmas for eels. EelFacts.Net

Trump gets a lot of attention for being a con man but that clip of him talking about how Putin said he won the 2020 election reminds me that he is somehow simultaneously one of the worldโ€™s biggest suckers. An incredible combination.
