Just rediscovered this 1Bit top-down Zelda like RPG mockup I did a while ago. It's called "Morguetown" and thought to be a weird mashup of a post death western where you play a skeleton undertaker that has to save the city from... idk yet..

EXCLUSIVE — DHS Acting General Counsel sent out a memo Wednesday to all Federal Protective Service staff (the sub-agency that guards federal buildings) letting officers know they could take any action necessary "in the vicinity" federal property to protect themselves.

The Handbasket reports:

DHS top lawyer says 'no legal barrier' to actions officers can take to defend federal property

In a memo obtained exclusively by The Handbasket, Federal Protective Service (FPS) officers were given free rein.

And this is a little collage of some of the key reference material I used.

I still have a few more bits to do, but I wanted to post this today anyway. I'll link to the completed project on ArtStation later.

Vector recreation of the iconic Psygnosis logo.

Psygnosis were a video game developer and publisher from '84 to '99, perhaps most famous for Lemmings and WipeOut. At least to me. I was also fond of a mech shooter called Walker. [🧵]

“Everyone who is rich enough or close enough to reactionary politics is effectively in a cult with beliefs loonier than the median Heaven’s Gate member” is a relatively straightforward description of the current moment. I don’t know how we live like this

In his statement, the HHS spokesman vowed that officials would continue “to close wasteful and duplicative entities, including those that are at odds with the Trump administration’s Make America Healthy Again agenda.”

why would democrats force trump's hand-picked director of the office of management and budget to do harm to federal workers, against his will

Another priority, according to Vought, was to “defund” certain independent federal agencies and demonize career civil servants, which include scientists and subject matter experts. Project 2025’s plan to revive Schedule F, an attempt to make it easier to fire a large swath of government workers who currently have civil service protections, aligns with Vought’s vision.

“We want the bureaucrats to be traumatically affected,” he said. “When they wake up in the morning, we want them to not want to go to work because they are increasingly viewed as the villains. We want their funding to be shut down so that the EPA can't do all of the rules against our energy industry because they have no bandwidth financially to do so.

“We want to put them in trauma.”

Most of them are just a mat (and sometimes just a chair or surface for balance, but they give modifications for no equipment)
