Minnesotans: I’m trying to help document this moment in our state’s history for an audio project on mutual aid. I’ve been doing some in-person interviews, but we’re all spread so thin right now. The simplest way you can help is by leaving a message with your story of mutual aid at 1-844-WE-HLP-US ☎️

Hey guys, Paul Allor is a wonderful writer I worked with on TMNT and a great person to boot. Like many creatives, Paul had some back luck health-wise and is looking for some help to raise a modest amount to cover some outstanding bills. Please consider donating a few bucks if you can.

A really excellent, detailed review, that's more explicit about just how much stuff *hasn't* made it into this remake - including the Murder at Cafe Alps sidestory, as well as the sidestory where Kiryu emphasises with a transwoman's struggles
Review: Yakuza Kiwami 3 & Dark Ties is a remake built on disdain, not reverence, looking to fix a game that wasn’t broken, and ending up with little to show for itself.

I've been to some countries where people live under military rule or autocracy. And without fail, one of the questions I get when they ask about life in the U.S. is whether it's true that Americans just let homeless people die on the street.
During freezing temperatures in Port Arthur, Texas, a 61-year-old homeless man was found dead in his wheelchair outside a convenience store.

He was wearing a hospital gown and no shoes. Authorities say he had been released from a hospital the previous day.

This is a diseased society.

1/ ProPublica collected handwritten letters in mid-January from children held at the Dilley Immigration Processing Center, the same facility where 5-year-old Liam Conejo Ramos was taken.

Hundreds of kids are still detained.

We’ll let the children’s words speak for themselves. 🧵
