EXCLUSIVE: So far it's been unclear what proof Rockstar Games has to justify its firing of 34 union members, who it claims were leaking "confidential information in a public forum".

PMG has now seen some of the messages which contributed to this decision being made.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.
Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

Just finished folk horror detective game The Séance Of Blake Manor. Incredible stuff. Game of the year type shit. Most satisfying virtual sleuthing I've done since The Roottrees Are Dead. Absolutely hypnotised me for 15 hours. Art, music, sense of place, characters, mood, voice acting: all superb.

A chara, - In January 1989, the British Minister Douglas Hogg stated that some solicitors were “unduly sympathetic to the cause of the IRA”. Three weeks later Pat Finucane was murdered by loyalists. It is widely accepted in Ireland that there was a consequential link between these two events. Will there be a similar recognition of the responsibility political leaders bear for inciting violence in the wake of the horrific arson attack on a centre for international protection applicants in Drogheda on Hallowen night, only days after the Tánaiste described migration numbers as “too high”? - Is mise Wendy Lyon

“Israeli” ceasefires only ever apply to the other party. They’ll continue to kill whomever they want, whenever they want until they are stopped. They see themselves as occupying an altogether different moral plane than their enemies, like any colonizer.
Tweet from Quds News Network @QudsNen BREAKING: Three Palestinians were killed after Israeli quadcopter drones opened fire on residents inspecting their homes in the Shujaiyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City.
