What's more likely, that the C in E=MC² stands for "the speed of light", a term which doesn't even contain the letter c, or that it stands for "cheese", a word that is widely known for starting with c?

Merz and war criminal Netanyahu, best friends.

Germany wants to make sure it is properly supporting this historical genocide so Merz is just hanging out with ICC-wanted war criminal Netanyahu in flagrant violation of international law.

Israeli drone chases and kills elderly woman in Gaza as attacks continue At least seven Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks as military pushes deeper beyond truce demarcation line.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

So, Jackass, roughly.

Sigh. Maybe a few males with long hair? Or no, THAT they fixed?!

Definitely worth reading.

I know so few fishing games to compare with but I really liked how it works in animal crossing. It's not super tough once you get the hang of it but it does feel like it takes a little skill, not like in fortnite or skyrim.

Know your rights. Protect your neighbors.

New York is — and always will be — a city for all immigrants.

Free tuition and abolishing student debt aren’t new ideas. They’re long-standing demands of the student movement. Education is a public good, and a more educated society benefits everyone. Join the movement to make post-secondary education free: lewisforleader.ca

Ask yourself if kids prefer toys, or stores. Games from a generation ago were allowed to be toys. Games today are forced to be stores.

After this weekend's racist attacks on the EU, I've written a column about the moral obligation to stop posting on X.

Oh no, wait, I wrote it *two years ago* when it was blatantly obvious what was going on and how it would get much much worse.

Support Benoit Blanc's world is our world, eh?

Haha! Same. And now I want an iced treat. 😋

Pretty crazy that nearly all of the EU Commission is still on X even as Elon Musk is literally talking about destroying the EU.

You can leave X. It's really not that difficult.

I feel compelled to write a review thread 🧵 for The Liz Truss Show because in the madness of the content, other aspects - vital aspects - are being missed.

1. The Aesthetics

Unless they were aiming for "Harley Street urologist waiting room circa 1992" this interview area is just unacceptable. 1/

Spray painted beneath a staircase: "YOUR FEAR OF LOOKING STUPID IS HOLDING YOU BACK"

L'esprit de l'escalier

I am once again reminding you that many EVE Online alliances have better IT infrastructure than the equivalent small business with their number of employees.

Thankfully, our friends at CATA are on the case and have issued an open letter to the Chair of the Covid Inquiry (Baroness Hallett) raising the alarm that the NHS appear to think “it would be a waste of public health resources & capacity” to even attempt to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus…

NHS England: “It will not be possible to halt the spread of a new pandemic virus, and it would be a waste of public health resources and capacity to attempt to do so.”

This has got to be one of the most 🤯 things I’ve ever seen written down in an official document.

I think Tarantino can be an interesting filmmaker, but I've wanted him to shut up with his "master of all cinema history" bullshit for years. It delights me that going after Matthew Lillard is what finally got movie fans to collectively tell him to fuck off.

Deleting bad posts or posts people take wrong is an important part of social media. You don't need to stand on business if people are being stupid about it

PEOPLE: - Eiji Aonuma, age 50. Producer in charge of the Zelda series. QUOTE: Aonuma: There’s been a tendency lately to see games as more focused in on a specific audience or a specific age. We’re seeing that range of interest in a game become narrower as we feel like we’re forced to make a game that appeals to a certain group. If we don’t make it appeal to a teenager, then it’s not a game that they’re going to mark off on their calendar. What I want to do going forward is to find that balance, where the game appeals to a wide audience, but is still true to what we’re trying to create. … It’s trying to find that direction and the vehicle through which we can accomplish that goal that’s the challenge we face every day in development.

Aonuma on targeting broad audiences with the Zelda series, 2013.

I wish I could like The Goonies but the parts that haven't aged well were already offensive/exhausting/tone-deaf on release to many of us in poor/immigrant neighbourhoods. It IS nice the unwoke aspects are recognized better now bc the film did captured a lot of (middle-class American) ppls life.

this gets to the fundamental lawlessness. the difference between law as a game and law as a tool of government.

birthright citizenship is the law. nothing has changed. the documents are the same. if that can change based on *nothing*, you don't have a real constitution in the first place.

During ratification of the 14th Amendment, senators discussed whether the Citizenship Clause would apply to the children of immigrants and resoundingly concluded that it did. The text and history all point in one direction and the counter-arguments are patently fraudulent. I am going to lose my mind

pete_wharmby_books & ••• HADLEY FREEMAN Wes Streeting must stand up to the ADHD activists I can help with the minister's review: some people are just confused by life Hadley Freeman pete_wharmby_books Ah, as expected the right wing press (and Freeman's pipeline from the Guardian op-Ed pages to the Times is worth looking into) is now piling on, suggesting that these scary ADHD activists are just trying to ruin things for everyone. Not, like, try to improve people's self esteem and sense of what is going on. 2025 is so horrifyingly, predictably *boring*

then, the transphobes , feeling victorious at how many people they have made unhappy and despairing in the previous week, move on to anything else that has a spectrum and the possibility of more colours than they can conceive - such hateful people - they cannot understand anything that is not THEM

Been following Mekka for a while and it's been consistently, uh, like grimly educational (Positive)?

Like I thought I at least roughly knew how fucked up things were? But also I'm a pasty white nerd who's mostly lived in pasty white nerd areas so (noooot really).

So much effort goes into building out huge, detailed game worlds…which get combined with game
mechanics that prevent a casual player from ever seeing most of it. It’s like if you had to pass a quiz to be allowed to see the end of a movie.

"there is no more ni hao... Only ni HOWDY" is the best line delivery of 2025

Late entry but they locked it in folks
