A lot of people assume that Amsterdam has been biketopia since time immemorial but it actually was car hell for decades before the citizens became fed up with car fatalities and forced the government to rebuild everything around mass transit and bikes. It took time and will, but they did it.

MINECRAFT JUST ANNOUNCED THAT ZOMBIE HORSES ARE COMING TO SURVIVAL! AFTER 13 YEARS!! AND ZOMBIE HORSE RIDERS HAVE SPEARS! #Minecraft

Metal Slug (the first one) being the most grounded of the series actually makes it the most interesting one as an art piece to me. Later entries are goofy—“war, if it was absurd” but Metal Slug is satire: “war IS absurd”. Wouldn’t an arcade game be a funny way to show how absurd and awful “war” is?

Some amazing gay history. Listen up kids.

everyone get more self-indulgent and insane about your own ocs NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is great - note that there's still police, but they're now part of a larger, county-wide department. the extreme localism of US policing is a *huge* part of its corruption, especially when you get to stuff like sheriff's departments.

We can actually confirm this. An anonymous (verified) Stripe employee told me last month that Stripe does not permit *any* sale of adult content, regardless of whether it is delisted. Stripe explained this to Itch in August, while Itch was continuously misleading their community (and harassing us).

saudi arabia really is just a sportswashing empire at this point. first they bought all the sports, now they’re buying the publisher that makes the biggest games about sports

It'd be funny if somebody snuck up and drew a comma and exclamation point on that sticker.

I cannot express how wild this quote is. This is a top tech analyst at a well-regarded firm saying that there is not enough capital to actually pay for all the stuff that NVIDIA and OpenAI has promised. It is so important that everybody realizes that *there is not enough money to do this*

The superintendent they just kidnapped is a former Olympic athlete who runs footraces with the kids from his schools while wearing a maroon suit and a bowtie. This is quite simply about the people in power feeling threatened by Black excellence.

Microsoft has terminated unit 8200’s access to select cloud storage and AI services, making it the first giant tech company to terminate any services to apartheid Israel at least since the beginning of its Gaza genocide. Read more: loom.ly/aS6eYUQ #NoTechForApartheid #NoTechForGenocide

I don't love using "blood libel" to describe anything other than the actual historical phenomenon of accusations against Jews of ritually killing Christian children. But if anything in modern political discourse structurally resembles a blood libel, it's Vance accusing Haitians of eating cats.

the post office is a public service. it doesn’t need to make money. public transit doesn’t need to make money. the library doesn’t need to make money. some things exist for the public good and we desperately need lawmakers to stop thinking about them in terms of capitalism. these are not businesses.

I'm not the only one. @limitedrungames.com has not delivered on promises widespread

@limitedrungames.com its the end of the workday, when am i getting the digital key? you said on the 25th

So this is looking like a lie

Did anyone get their sonic crossworlds steam code from limited run games?

LMAO they don't even check their shit

fuck censorship and free Palestine 🐾⭐️🇵🇸🤬💥‼️

Btw, as the Itchio noise and all died down, Adult games are technically just banned now. Some adult games are still being sold, yes, but if you get caught or reported or whatever, all your payment options will be yanked and only a husk remains. Zero comments from Itchio on this, nothing, at all.

And I don't mean just no statement from Itchio, but they literally didn't even say anything to the dev. No warning, no headsup, no explanation, no "oopsies sorry uwu *salutes you*, nothing. Just blocked. And that game is not a "problematic one" content wise, just, payments blocked, that's it.

TAPS THE SIGN

I am old enough to remember when even plenty of liberals talked about ICE and Homeland Security this way, how even the terms were creepily police state and surely the next Dem president would roll it back. Then the Obama administration expanded it, so they accepted it. And here we are.
