Musk should be asked about this in every interview he does now and forever. To ignore it is a dereliction of duty. www.nytimes.com/2025/05/30/o...

There is one place, however, where Musk, with the help of his minions, achieved his goals. He did indeed shred U.S.A.I.D. Though a rump operation is now operating inside the State Department, the administration says that it has terminated more than 80 percent of U.S.A.I.D. grants. Brooke Nichols, an associate professor of global health at Boston University, has estimated that these cuts have already resulted in about 300,000 deaths, most of them of children, and will most likely lead to significantly more by the end of the year. That is what Musk’s foray into politics accomplished.

In today's 1.21.80 update, Realms will show you the server region when joining. Using the new Advanced Realms settings, you can change the region for your Realm to improve ping times 😎 Server region support is also coming in the next Java update 😀 www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...

A Minecraft Realms loading screen showing the loading tip, "A Realm is always online, so you and your friends can play here whenever you want." Underneath the loading tip, it says, "Server region: Washington, USA" with a three bars signal icon.

There's a new tabbed Realms UI in today's Java Snapshot, along with the ability to select where you'd like your Realm to be hosted: close to the first player to join, close to the owner, or in a specific region. Low pings make Minecraft more fun 😄

A new Realms UI with a translucent skybox of the latest update behind the buttons. Tabs along the top of the screen include "Worlds", "Players", "Subscription", and "Settings"

Java Realms got an upgrade today in Snapshots! Select your Realm's region preference -- the best for the owner, the best for the first to join in a session, or a specific region. Also already available in Preview/Beta on Bedrock! www.minecraft.net/en-us/articl...

In today's Preview patch notes, we shared some info about work we have been doing to improve our server hosting. One of the changes allows Realm owners to select the region their Realm is hosted in! We'll be sharing a lot more info with the next full client release. Let me know what you think!

I SO hope this is wrong, but if you look into Yarvin and “Dark Enlightenment”, you’ll find a plan to destroy our democracy and replace it with autocracy There are direct ties to this administration and its backers. Elon even calls himself “Dark MAGA” Read this. Share it. Darkness dies in the light

Quick reaction Switch 2 thoughts: - I love seeing multiplayer features like game chat, especially with casting gameplay to friends. I hope they open this up to cross plat through discord integration, but sadly I never think they would do that. When more people play, we all win. … 1/2
