Halo Studios art director Glenn Israel (Halo 3 ODST, Infinite): "No illusion of security nor promise of wealth or fame or power is worth trading away your health, your dignity, your ethics or values - and no one can force you to. Stay strong, take evidence when necessary, and find where you belong."

The funniest things about these anti-DEI goblins is that they think that if a game shows ANY kind of diversity, it's because they hired a whole ass consultant, thus taking resources away from "making the game actually good", and not because the devs are just not a bunch of nazis.

It's finally here!! You've been asking for this for a long time, so I'm finally bringing an official Annalynn plushie to you guys through Makeship!

We need 200 petitions to bring this to reality, so back it while you can! Petitions close on October 19th.

Annalynn's official plushie is finally here, via Makeship! This is a rough mockup of how the final plushie will look.

NEW: Since October 2023, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit has released dozens of 3D animations illustrating alleged Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian sites

The style is now unmistakable: satellite zoom-ins, black & white wireframes, and red-textured houses - a new visual language of war

Good. Germany's blatant support of crimes beyond genocide, as one of the only repeat offenders in the world, should also mean it doesn't participate in Eurovision.

My statement on the two year anniversary of October 7, 2023.

“Two years ago today, Hamas carried out a horrific war crime, killing more than 1,100 Israelis and kidnapping 250 more. I mourn these lives and pray for the safe return of every hostage still held and for every family whose lives were torn apart by these atrocities.

In the aftermath of that day, Prime Minister Netanyahu and the Israeli government launched a genocidal war: adeath toll that now far exceeds 67,000; with the Israeli military bombing homes, hospitals, and schools into rubble. Every day in Gaza has become a place where grief itself has run out of language. I mourn these lives and pray for the families that have been shattered. Our government has been complicit through it all.

This must end. The occupation and apartheid must end. Peace must be pursued through diplomacy, not war crimes, and our government must act to end these atrocities and hold those responsible to account.

These last two years have demonstrated the very worst of humanity. We must answer it by modeling the very best: a relentless pursuit of our higher ideals and an unwavering commitment to universal human rights.”
