Eslam has been banned multiple times from this site. At this point, I can't help but see it as active malice. She's escaped from Gaza to Egypt, but the rest of her family is still in Gaza and needs help. You can donate to her here:

ACA open enrollment starts Nov. 1. Rates should have been published in August. Mike Johnson hopes you don’t know that. But my mom is an independent insurance agent. Has been for 20+ years. So she does know that.

As they wind up this phase of the continued extermination of the Palestinian people, Israelis ask themselves, “Are There Really Innocent Palestinians After October 7th?”

Israeli Telegram @israeligram.observer · 8h

Telegram post from News 301 Arab World, translated from Hebrew:

Are There Really Innocent Palestinians After October 7th?

Lt. Col. (res.) Adv. Morris Hirsch, a JCFA researcher, argues that there is no room for illusions anymore: the Palestinian society itself is complicit in the ideology that led to the massacre. According to him, for decades the Palestinian Authority and Hamas have fostered a culture of hatred and glorification of terror through the education system, media, and economic incentives for terrorists. “When 72% of Palestinians support the October 7th attack — this is no longer marginal extremism, but a direct result of an institutionalized educational process,” he warns, adding that the world ignoring this only encourages continued violence.

It is self soothing to say that if only Palestinians accepted Israel then everything would be unlocked and peace would be possible. OK well that already happened, more than once, and what did it result in? When will people seriously grapple with the idea that perhaps Israel is a lot like Russia?

100% agree but I think another aspect is the fact that direct sharing to social media has been gutted & thus another avenue of mid to smaller games getting easier reach for a critical mass that coverage happens is cut off.

Nowadays mainly PC only ones go big like that but most stay in their bubbles

Casey Explosion @caseyexplosion.bsky.social · 1h

As well as this, I feel quite strongly that the increased prominence in recent years of social media influencers who engage in nothing but ragebait content and harassment has proverbially sucked all the air out of the room, content mills producing bullshit at speed who dominate gaming conversations.

“Why isn’t anyone covering our indie games?”

1. The gaming press has been decimated by business suits, and the whims of an uncaring search engine behemoth
2. Doing the job means you get death threats and harassment
3. There are more games released in 1 week than there were in entire months in 2015

We're in court today challenging a Florida law that gives local law enforcement the power to arrest, detain, and prosecute people based only on how they entered the country.

This law has been blocked while our litigation plays out, and we're asking the court to affirm that decision.

i am so sick of the presumption (delusion?) that corporations and our government will suddenly be compassionate to the working class and provide UBI when AI takes your job. it is a fantasy.

Senator Bernie Sanders @sanders.senate.gov · 1d

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits.

What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

Seeing many posts about how ICE isn't trained. That's not really the problem. The problem is what they were sent to do, not whether they're qualified to do it.

Credit where credit is due. The Democrats' message that the GOP shut down the government because they want to throw millions of people off healthcare has broken through. Two of my cousins who are NOT AT ALL tuned into national politics told me that this is why the government is shut down.
