This billboard misses the point entirely.

We should be designing cities where adding 15,000 new neighbors doesn't automatically mean adding 15,000 more cars. The goal is to build places so good that people are freed from the necessity of driving.

Stage is set for a vote on a tense zoning fight that involves the North Side's Broadway

As charges of NIMBY-style narrow-mindedness fly about, Edgewater's alderperson is pressing for zoning changes she says can promote neighborhood vitality.

JFC. Ron DeHaas, founder of the Christian antiporn app Covenant Eyes, has stepped down from NCOSE after his 38-year old son was charged with sexual abuse of a child.

Covenant Eyes is the app used by House Speaker Mike Johnson and his son to monitor each other's internet behavior.

I wrote a college paper after midnight for an 10am class on the translation differences between Ronin Warriors (English) and Yoroiden Samurai Troopers (Japanese), after 3 days awake finishing my perspective illustration final, on nothing but no-doz, coffee & cigs.

Got an A. On both art & the paper.

Not everyone can boycott Amazon

Many disabled & elderly people are housebound and rely on it

Some medical supplies are more affordable there than anywhere else.

Instead of judging, help create networks of care.

Give rides, drop off food and meds, donate to mutual aid

Take care of each other

It's a far more speedy process to create content if you're just relaying rumours or bullshit than if you're taking time to properly cover games, which would involve playing it and at the very least having enough written about it for first impressions. But for ragebait? Playing a game is redundant.

As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015
