I'll summarize this: Mamdani asked NYers to keep air conditioning at 78 degrees. A wave criticism hit online. A MSNBC broadcast pointed out the US Department of Energy recommends that 78 degree figure. Immediately after, the US Department of Energy deleted 6,000 web pages related to energy saving.

Another case today of someone who was frequently in the US rejected at the border on arbitrary grounds & having that rejection permanently making travel to the US hard/impossible for the rest of their life. I can't stress this enough: do not travel to the US. It wouldn't happen to you until it has.

There are so many reasons not to take this path. AI needs far more regulation before we even think about expanding. Even if the job figure is true, which all data currently available to the public suggests it isn't, what will it cost (water, air quality, jobs lost to AI)?

It's still in early access, so there are some buggy/unpolished bits, but the core gameplay loops are fun! It's got that "just one more" feel to it, plus the funny parts you'd expect. This is feeling like my next clear out all the Steam achievements game.

Masters of Albion is created in such a way that you can engage with its systems as much or as little as you like. You can go for that perfect pie or sword, meticulously plan your towns for defence and efficiency, focus on making as much money as possible, or explore and expand. Or all of the above!

Lost 5 hours last night to Masters of Albion without noticing. Made the mistake of looking it up online this morning. People really just shit on things for the sake of it without even trying it in a lot of cases! There's enough negativity in the world. If a game isn't your thing, just move along.

I want to echo Rami's call to play and review the House of Hikmah, and while I'm not one to rock the boat, I do also want to call on other outlets to cover the game. It currently has only 3 reviews on MetaCritic, and needs at least 4 to get an aggregated score. Help people find this beautiful game.

Oh my god. The Prime Minister's social media account puts out a post reflecting on the horrors of one genocide, hours after refused to explicitly condemn the threat of another. (Not to mention the failure to close loopholes that see Canadian companies arm yet another genocide -- in Gaza)

Tweet from the Prime Minister of Canada reads:
Today, we remember and reflect on the horrific 1994 genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.
We honour the victims, survivors, and everyone whose lives were changed forever by the atrocities and commit to building a better world where such horrors are never forgotten or repeated.
