Star Trek: Bridge Commander was a wonderful space battle sim, & the best ending was had by avoiding battle & talking out a solution as much as possible. The bad ending where you spent the whole mission guns a-blazing destroyed you, the Enterprise, & a whole planet. So.

A country just used jet airplanes dropping explosive bombs to drive off illegal gold miners who crossed the border from a neighboring country. Dozens of civilians were killed. That country was Egypt, and it used US-made F-16s to do it, and the people who died were Sudanese, so nobody gives a shit.

IMHO the great work we still have to do is persistently unwind the notion that Christopher Columbus stood for, and still stands for-- that the Americas are "for" the settlers. That the land they came to was given them, a New Eden, where they could do anything they wanted, its history didn't matter.

A new statement from @maketheroadny.bsky.social says that Oscar Belgal, the man immigration agents shot in NYC last week, hasn't eaten since Thursday and still has the bullet in his neck. He urgently needs surgery, but instead, the government has him locked up in solitary.

New York, NY –– The Legal Aid Society and Make the Road New York, counsel for Oscar Belgal, issued the following joint statement in response to the deplorable conditions Mr. Belgal has endured while detained at the Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in Brooklyn, including solitary confinement, lack of access to food, and inadequate medical care despite a bullet remaining lodged in his neck and his urgent need for surgery:

“Since Mr. Belgal was shot in the neck by ICE agents on Thursday, with his five-year-old child in the car, he has endured horrific conditions at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, a facility federal judges have described as ‘barbaric’ and ‘inhumane,’ where officers have been characterized as ‘contemptuous of human life and dignity. All the while, a bullet remains lodged in his neck.

“Mr. Belgal is living through an unimaginable nightmare. While he is currently in solitary confinement, a bullet remains lodged in his neck, the left side of his face is numb, and he can barely hear out of his left ear. Doctors have told him he urgently needs surgery, but that the procedure was too dangerous to perform Thursday evening without a specialized surgeon present. Although he was instructed to return to the hospital this week, he has been left in the dark about whether that surgery will even happen. He is also suffering from a shoulder wound caused by shattered glass during the incident.

“Rather than receiving the urgent medical attention, care, and compassion he desperately needs, Mr. Belgal reports being confined to a solitary cell, where he is forced to relive the terrifying moments of being shot. He says he has not eaten a single meal since Thursday and has been told that the only water available to him comes from a bathroom sink.

“The deliberate indifference Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents showed toward Mr. Belgal when he was shot on Thursday, and the treatment he has endured in detention since, are further examples of the cruelty and disregard for basic human dignity that have long defined this agency. We will continue to fight for Mr. Belgal’s immediate release from detention and to ensure that he receives the medical care, due process, and basic human dignity to which he is entitled under the law.”

This is more common than you’d sadly think. In the anime voice acting sphere, there is a series of animated films made by an actual cult known as Happy Science. A lot of household name actors have voiced in these; I doubt many of them knew that when they recorded. Sometimes it’s just a paycheck.

The one time a year the Italian-American Trade Unionists of America will mention his name.

For Immediate Release
Day
Italian-American Trade Unionists of America Condemn Columbus on Columbus
The ltalian-American Trade Unionists of America (IATUOA) has once again reaffirmed its condemnation of Christopher Columbus on Columbus Day.
"We only mention the son of a bitch's name once a year and it's when we announce that he's a son of a bitch on his name day," the IATUOA Executive Committee announced from a dark, smoke-filled room in the Italian-American Club of Shamokin, PA.
The ATUOA, founded on the principles of cultural solidarity through bargaining , mutual aid, shared dining experiences, and anti-imperialism, believes Columbus represents the antithesis of these core values. Based on his writing and contemporary accounts, Columbus was a greedy, self-indulgent strunz, a jerk-off that gleefully engaged in the enslavement and genocide of indigenous people for personal gain and fame
Further, this fucking guy, supposedly Genoese, rarely spoke or wrote in Ligurian or any Italic language. What kind of "ltalian" does that?
Italian-Americans deserve recognition and a holiday in the United States, but also deserve a figure worthy of their name. "If you're gonna name the fuckin' day Columbus Day, you might as well go-all in and make the fucking holiday Columbus/Mussolini Day to piss on a few more graves," the IATOUA Executive Committee further scoffed,
As of this time, the IATUOA Davinci Genealogy Caucus still questions the authenticity of Columbus' Italian ancestry. Based on this, and the organization's position that Columbus is "a piece of shit" the organization maintains its position that ltalian-Americans (as well as indigenous people) deserve a holiday that truly recognizes our heritage and not one that celebrates a jackass.
