Tonight at 8 PM Central, more PHANTASMAGORIA. In the 90s it was perfectly normal for a married couple of a magazine photographer and a one book novelist to purchase a sprawling Groverhaus style mansion. Join us on a real estate centric memory lane that's also an FMV horror. www.twitch.tv/ps_garak

Good reporting on the South Shore raid from South Side weekly here.

Confirms one thing I was told but didn't put in my own piece because I didn't have a second source and it seemed too insane: border agents segregated arrested residents by race

Federal Agents Storm South Shore Building, Detaining Families and Children

Families were woken by flashbangs and helicopters as hundreds of federal agents raided their homes. Days later, neighbors are still searching for the missing.

NEW — A message of support has been circulating online for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes, who was temporarily detained by federal agents last week.

A few signatures were noticeably missing: 13, to be specific.

thetriibe.com/2025/10/so-a...

So, about that letter of support for Chicago Ald. Jessie Fuentes: 13 alderpeople didn’t sign it • The TRiiBE

The letter describes what the agents did to Fuentes as an “abuse of power.” Mayor Brandon Johnson, City Clerk, Anna Valencia and City Treasurer Melissa Conyears-Ervin also signed it.

Y'all who keep lecturing protesters to "not give them an excuse" need to pause for a minute. Imagine yourself telling a DV victim, "Be sure not to mouth off or make any mistakes so he won't hit you. Don't give him an excuse! It's what he wants!" That's what you fools sound like.

Even if it's not a great book and the author seems like a jerk and the publisher can't decide what to do with the royalties, at least someone finally got around to chronicling the previously unexplored history of RPGs on a Nintendo console.

FWIW, I think this *looks* better than Ritchies' Star Wars, which had a pretty dull art style. This looks much more handsome, for all the grousing its pretty clear they listened to a lot of complaints about the previous SW.

I just assume they wanted to do the safest possible theme to roll out Spike 3 en masse (versus the homes). Maybe they'll have a bit more fun with the next few.

my local just got theirs too, gotta check it out. I'm part of the "this again?" camp, but tbh the majority of pinball themes aren't on things I care about, and this looks like its fun to shoot so I'm happy to give it a spin.
