Just played my first few runs of Touhou Dystopian, which came out a couple months ago and has been a surprising hit. The girls are fighting again.
It's your standard Pick Three action-roguelite, but with combat that plays like a mix of Nier Automata and Genshin Impact. Characters are very distinct.

Plumber confirmed that the fuses blowing yesterday was due to the water heater and we need a new water heater. I did find the fuse for the water heater itself so we're good heating wise
(last night we had no light or heating in half the flat, which is less fun).
Wheee
Please buy my books?

Most discussions about “misinformation” treat the problem as if people simply don’t have good enough critical-thinking skills. It sounds intuitive, but it’s not entirely accurate. The problem isn’t just individual ignorance, it’s the structure of the information environment people are placed into.
Finland has emerged as a global leader in countering “fake news”. Here's how they've done it
Teaching when to trust
As fake news accelerates, we need to teach our children how to think critically. Finnish schools are leading the charge

Thread on how to detect ai in that viral dog video
Yeah, I mean, I'm critical of any video nowadays that is trying to elicit an emotional response, especially when it's asking for subs at the end. It's weird that all the people seem to end up with the dog they want. And shelters are overflowing, where are the rooms full of people wanting to adopt?

Many thanks to @vancemaverick.bsky.social, it's from Susannah Clarke in "Stoppt-Clock Yard" (in sandman book of dreams)
I also have that line of which origin I have no clue (I suspect it's from a book I read as a teenager but that hardly thins the herd)
"For so long you have lived on the kindness of women, but that has now run dry"
"For so long you have lived on the kindness of women, but that has now run dry"

This reads like a modern take of a fairytale you've half forgotten - and one of the best sort, with the sharp claws and the dark bits all left in.
Also I have to confess that I have rarely related so much to a protagonist. I would die for Selena. Twice, if needed.

Pardon mais quand est-ce qu'on remplace ces personnes, qui doivent en plus oûter une fortune au service public, par de vrais journalistes, qui vivent sur le terrain et pas dans un monde parallèle ?
Ainsi, pour conquérir le "vote musulman", il faut être antisémite.
Ces propos méritent d'être sanctionnés par l'Arcom. C'est du pur racisme. C'est de l'islamophobie.

Meloni as Trump's Trojan horse in EU: she welcomes US disengagement from Europe because "if Europe wants to be great, it must defend itself" but in Brussel she keeps blocking any initiative to implement common defense. And Salvini, her junior partner in the coalition, openly roots for Putin.

The new US National Security Strategy says explicitly, that the US should intervene in European domestic policy. It is difficult to interpret "Cultivating resistance to Europe’s current trajectory within European nations." otherwise in the context of everything else this government says and does.

The doc is all about closing the US, yet it says that “openness” is what differentiates it internationally.
It wants to rebalance markets, criticises globalisation, yet says that “free market capitalism” will “continue to make us the global partner of first choice.”
