ICE killing #AlexPretti should remind you of police killing #PhilandoCastille. Both men had concealed weapon permits, did not draw their guns, & were killed in Minn. These homicides are the price of unaccountable policing. These deaths are variations on the same fatal theme.

As we grieve for Alex Pretti and Renee Good in MN, please do not forget Victor Manuel Diaz, who died in ICE custody after being taken from here. And all others who have died in their custody.
36-year-old Nicaraguan national Victor Manuel Diaz died in ICE custody on Jan. 14 at Camp East Montana in El Paso.

The Texas Nicaraguan Community on FB reports that his mom last heard from him on Jan. 6, when he told her he was planning to go to Minneapolis to start work in a restaurant. 1/3

AltNPS posted about Alex Pretti's murder 25 times since this morning. During that time, they spread misinformation about the shooting, lied about knowing the shooter's name, and generally flooded the zone with shit.

They're trying to milk this story for all it's worth.

Some believe Section 230 will be safe from February’s internet bills week in the Senate, arguing petty differences will stall legislation or prior convictions will remain true. Paul here shows the opposite, it is a major problem that a libertarian-ish conservative fears S230 is too lenient
In this edition of ManBabies Making Laws, Senator Rand Paul appears to have suddenly abandoned his long held defense of the 1st amendment and Section 230 (perhaps his only redeeming quality?) because ...

he's mad about a YouTube video about him.
Rand Paul: I’ve changed my mind — Google and YouTube can’t be trusted to do the right thing and must be reined in

"AI is best, it can make it in 15 seconds, could you do better?"

Someone said on a Leomon AI "art" stuff, so I took a pen and made this cute fanart of Agumon protecting Leomon.

Sure it didn't take 15 seconds but took lot of love to make and that will always matter more in the end.

Everyone protesting in Minnesota has been risking being murdered.

The rest of us Americans can make some fucking phone calls.

That goes for those with Repub senators as well as those of us with Dem senators. All of them.
We are calling our senators right now and demanding that they vote no on the omnibus with DHS funding

It’s not enough to say Abolish ICE. It’s not enough to vote no on ICE funding. It’s not enough to confront Kristi Noem or Greg Bovino with Stern Words.

If you are a leader, what are you doing to protect your community? How are you using your power, privilege, and position to confront this threat?

It is really important to stress that Congress shares a significant amount of responsibility for what is happening and what has been happening, long before this month
Reminder: All it would take to end the murder of American citizens by an untrained government goon squad is 16 Republicans in Congress voting with Dems to defund ICE (or 23 to impeach and remove Trump — 3 in House & 20 in Senate). That’s it. 23 Americans can vote for the public and end all of this.

Now is a good time to contact your MP and also Evan Solomon and Mark Carney to tell them that, as a sovereign nation, we don't need US data, tech and AI contracts.

I don’t want to hear anything from an elected official unless it’s a plan to defund the DHS and impeach Noem, Bovino, etc. No texts. No emails. No talk about the economy. Step up or step off.

As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.

ICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.

I do agree with this point, but I wanna add that even if you mainly have other games as your inspirations, I think it's important to look at games from beyond your project's genre.

Like, if you're making a 3D platformer, you don't have to (and honestly shouldn't) ONLY look at other 3D platformers.
The author of the novels that inspired Shin Megami Tensei and Persona says developers should take more inspiration from other media to invent new gameplay systems.

If they only take inspiration from games they'll just make the same games, he says.

1) Go here (app.leg.wa.gov/billsummary?...) & read HB 2112.
2) Go here (app.leg.wa.gov/pbc/bill/2112) & leave a comment urging your representatives to vote AGAINST the bill.
