Rutgers TPUSA says they don't condone harassment of anyone who opposes them, but I hear from colleagues that people who signed the petition calling for them to be banned are receiving email threats to publicize their home addresses if they don't remove their name and apologize.

The Rutgers TPUSA chapter — whose characterization of a historian there as a “outspoken, well-known antifa member” led to death threats and moving his family to Europe — think *other* people are being “blatantly defamatory.”

Not them, though. They’re doing politics the right way.

Why would anyone want to put bad Lumines gameplay on the internet?

Because he really wants attention and he had the day off from work.

Also direct democracy, and indigenous organization, anarchism, are forms of government.

They do not all inherently turn authoritarian, as loads of forms of actual marxism, socialism or communism don't inherently do that either.

I got into the Twitch 2K (1440p) streaming beta last month, but figured I'd test it out before the next streams go into production.

There are still some issues that need to be worked out, but we'll get there.

It is also deeply suspicious that their government has been publicly invoking and calling for genocide, denying humanitarian aid, and insisting that “there are no civilians,” but the moment a civilian target is bombed, it’s definitely the work of the enemy. The logic is a circuit, I fear.

Kaitlin Is Just Getting Started @gothamgirlblue.com · Oct 17

I said on the bad site and I say here: extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The IDF has carpet bombed Gaza for over a week with more bombs than most conflicts have used in a year. It is statistically likely that it was their bomb that hit the hospital. Anything else requires proof.

They literally submitted a ticket and tried to get me to work it.

Look!

I know I may be late night gaming on a Friday night while on call, but at least try to engage with the off-shore folks before pinging me directly.

In fact, we should probably make a rule that if it is off-hours, only the off-shore team can ping the on-call person.

My first thought was “wow I hope this guy didn’t give out his name because he could absolutely be charged” and yup, he is correct to stay anonymous.

This man’s account is shocking. His neighbors’ situation is shocking. The entire Chicago raid is shocking.

On the other side was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for his help.
"I wasn't planning on letting her stay, but I didn't know what the hell was going on," the man said of his Venezuelan migrant neighbors. But he quickly relented. The little girl was inconsolable and hid under his bed.
"I didn't want them to take her," said the man, who didn't want to be named because he fears he'll be targeted by federal authorities for his actions.
"I gave her my bedroom, and I just told her,
'Just stay there. Don't open, don't, shh, just stay quiet," he recalled telling the mom and daughter as he choked back tears.

During a military-style raid on a building in Chicago’s South Shore, one resident heard a knock on his door.   It wasn’t the feds — it was a mom and her 7-year-old daughter, pleading for help.

He let them hide in his unit for the next 3 days.
