Under apartheid South Africa, 95% of all people that received the death penalty were black.
Under the law below, 100% of people receiving the death penalty would be Palestinian.
This is just one of the reasons why Israel is viewed as an apartheid state by human rights organizations and UN experts.

A draft death penalty bill backed by Netanyahu’s far-right Otzma Yehudit party would mandate execution for Palestinians from the West Bank convicted of deadly “terror” offenses, while allowing Israeli citizens convicted of the same crimes to receive life imprisonment.

I'm still SHOCKED by the obscene rise in billionaire election spending since Citizens United in the NYT piece, despite already knowing that election corruption w/ $ was profound. (Recall that BCRA fought dangerous campaign $ in *2002*)
The article data didn't have a graph, so I made one to show it.

I’m glad to see people protesting Discord forcing IDs for age verification, but what I need everyone to understand is that there’s immense bipartisan pressure to make the entire internet like this, and they are likely going to succeed unless something drastic happens

There's this overwhelming desire in some people, often men, to be in the crowd and talk about how the Emperor's isn't *entirely* naked, actually, how its sad to see the mob overlook that he's wearing shoes, and it will be the death of us
Once again: people are angry for very good reason, and this brand of post is perhaps one of the most tedious and bewildering. Practically every social media platform is rabidly pro-‘AI’ so are govts, academia, companies. This one small space being critical of AI is okay, I think.

Nothing destroys religion better than a state church, and nothing protects it better than secular government. Counterintuitive but true
The data is stark. Iran: 47% report losing their religion, regime officials openly worry about godlessness. Turkey: atheism jumps from 2% to 10% since the 2000s. When religious practice signals political power rather than virtue, the public stops equating piety with morality.

This was basically exactly our experience and they managed to use a loophole in our contract to basically steal our game and all our money from us. There is no discernible point in getting a publisher. They ran Facebook ads for us in 2022. Imaging using facebook in 2022.
This is the problem I have with publishers right now. Every one I've spoken with lately has basically gone "your game needs to be finished and you need to be a guaranteed success before it even gets to us."
They want you to spend millions, and they want 40-50% minimum to barely market your game.

"we shouldn't have to work for free on a game until it's nearly-done enough to get funding" and "it's the only thing you can really do so you should do it if you want to make games" are both true imo and it's shit but what else is there really to do that isn't just give up

What really makes it extra stupid is that none of the money people in the game industry have any actual insight in what it takes to make a game good, but because its the actual workers that get punished and not them, they can continue to believe whatever dumb shit they please
