ICE took my brother in law. My family is now on the growing list of people that Trump's policies have directly impacted.
Things will be challenging for a while – if you can help my sister, Ramiro, and their two little girls in any way, it will be so appreciated.

So. Remember when Valve announced a VR headset that also plays Windows games?
Remember when I played a Windows copy of Silksong on my Android phone?
Valve planted the seeds for *all* of that. It's the same technology. Valve is behind Fex. www.theverge.com/report/82065...

Today, our new District 4 Supervisor, Alan Wong, was sworn in.
As Sunset residents, we know what our neighborhood needs most after a recall, two ballot measures, and a Supervisor appointee resignation: a leader who can show us the way forward, not work to destroy Sunset Dunes.

I do think we have a pretty good chance of turning gambling into a genuine popular moral crusade 19th century style, because it's becoming a social evil that's destroying young men's lives in particular but also making sports coverage really shit.
Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.
