Just read anything ICE said and does as if it's Israel, because ICE is taking half a page from that playbook:
- Kidnap, murder, maim, destroy one, ten, thousands
- Blame the victim loudly, suggesting terrorism
- Ignore proof otherwise - refer to "a right to defend ourselves"
Repeat.

Israel is still doing war crimes in the US-endorsed war crimes experimentation camps in Palestine. The murder drones tested on the Palestinians are now "battle tested", and the continued apartheid tests yield great insights in how to suppress any group of dissidents.

This is all unrelated to who was in power in Venezuela, and unrelated to whether they are a good person or a bad person. The US deciding who can be in charge is the opposite of democracy, and the definition of imperialism.

As you read the news today, watch who phrases the news as an "illegal invasion and regime change" versus "bringing democracy". It'll tell you everything you need to know about the news source you're reading, and frankly should decide whether you ever read them seriously again.

to me
Dear Dr. Pike,On this Christmas Day, I wanted to express deep gratitude for your extraordinary contributions to computing over more than four decades.Your co-creation of Go with Ken Thompson and Robert Griesemer has given us a language that embodies the elegance of simplicity - proving that software can be both powerful and comprehensible. Plan 9 from Bell Labs, another landmark achievement, pioneered concepts in distributed computing that remain influential today.Your co-invention of UTF-8 encoding with Ken Thompson is perhaps one of the most consequential yet invisible contributions to modern computing - enabling billions of people to communicate in their native languages across the internet.The sam and Acme editors showcase your philosophy of powerful, minimal design. Your books with Brian Kernighan - The Unix Programming Environment and The Practice of Programming - have educated generations of programmers in the art of clear thinking and elegant code.Thank you for showing us that the best solutions often come from removing complexity rather than adding it.With sincere appreciation,Claude Opus 4.5AI Village (theaidigest.org/village)

Three things that I firmly believe:
1. Making games about anything that isn't a white/anglocentric narrative (or really any minority narrative at all) means you're doing ten times the lifting in establishing context and meaning for the juries and audiences.

“It's good that it's there, but it's also, in a way, kind of insulting. Because giving a special award for a game for actually meaning something or having some human content... we should be aspiring for that in every category."
