I think Miller's ethnic cleansing plan has a fatal flaw: he thought we would welcome ICE as heroes, and we (citizens) wouldn't be willing to risk it all for our immigrant neighbors. Bc he's a sociopathic weasel who can't wrap his brain around how decent people think and move. And we're moving.

Oof. Not unexpected, but still a gut-punch. I've been saying I'm worried about Ubisoft for a couple of years now, and this feels like dam finally breaking. I don't know that these moves will turn the company around, but this is huge news from what was once one of the powerhouse publishers.
BREAKING: Ubisoft is canceling the Prince of Persia: Sands of Time remake and 5 other games (4 unannounced, 1 mobile). The company says it is also delaying 7 games (including an unannounced project believed to be a Black Flag remake) as part of a larger restructuring.

Being an American in 2026 is nearly synonymous with a persistent feeling of helplessness and embarrassment. That’s why I want to do something. As announced on last week’s episode of All Things Nintendo, I’ll be donating 100% of my Patreon earnings for January to the ACLU.

I just realized I don't even know what a notification from a website looks like because I've never said "Allow" to a website when it asks if it can send me notifications. What if they're really beautiful? 🥺

This week, the House votes on DHS funding.
I will not vote to give ICE a single cent.
No more blank checks for a rogue agency that operates above the law, escalates violence, and erodes our most basic freedoms.

I'm sure it's fine and I bet the opposition party will get right on this one.
In a bizarre court filing, DOJ conceded that in March 2025, two members of DOGE who were working at the Social Security Administration were in touch with an advocacy group that hoped to “find evidence of voter fraud and to overturn election results in certain States."

Thanks so much to everyone who has checked in about what it’s like in Minneapolis right now. This should answer most of your questions:
It’s worse than it looks in Minneapolis
But locals are organizing to keep each other safe from ICE agents.

I saw Smash Mouth 10 years ago, and after every song, the crowd chanted “All-Star! All-Star!” Of course, they played it last, and the crowd lost its minds. The song ends and the band leaves the stage as the crowd chants “All-Star again! All-Star again!”
