Did you know that there was an Indo-Greek empire, hybrid of Indian & Greek culture, art & language, in the Indus river region around 200 BCE. They preceeded the Kushans & Satraps, which are in the lore of my new game (WIP): chaitime.games #indiedev #gamedev #dev #indiegames #videogames #art #3dart

This is not normal. A sitting president refusing to call the governor of a state after two elected officials were shot, one fatally, is beyond words. A typical president, regardless of politics, would pick up the phone. Offer condolences.

The Minnesota shooter apparently used data broker websites to find the home addresses of the people he shot and murdered. Congress has had years to do something about data brokers and they've sided with the tech lobby over and over again. Their inaction is deadly.

I spent so many years covering propaganda anticipating this exact moment and so many of my peers bought the paid-for contrarian line that even covering disinformation was somehow, itself, censorship. Now we're at the event horizon. Celebration is protest is riot is justification for a police state.

BREAKING NOW: "all major world maps" on the online game GeoGuessr have been privated in protest of GeoGuessr's decision to participate in the Esports World Cup in Riyadh. map creators write that the EWC is used by Saudi Arabia "to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record." full:
We, the creators of a considerable share of GeoGuessr's most popular maps, have decided to make our maps unplayable in protest of GeoGuess AB's decision to host a World Championship wildcard tourney at the Esports World Cup (EWC) in Riyadh.
The EWC is a sportswashing tool used by the government of Saudi Arabia to distract from and conceal its horrific human rights record.
Groups targeted by the government include women, LGBTQ people, apostates and atheists, political dissenters, migrant workers in the Kafala system, religious minorities, and many others. The subjugation of these groups is extensive and pervasive. Members of these groups are routinely subjected to discrimination, imprisonment, torture, and even public executions. These severe human rights violations are well-documented and indisputable.
By participating in the EWC, GeoGuessr is contributing to that sportswashing agenda, which is designed to take attention away from Saudi Arabia's human rights violations.The GeoGuess community is diverse and includes many members of groups that would be harshly persecuted were they to live in Saudi Arabia. In solidarity with those currently residing in Saudi Arabia while being subject to oppression, as well as members of the community who would feel and be unsafe attending the tournament in Riyadh, we have decided to black out our maps by replacing all their previous locations with random garbage locations, rendering them unplayable.
This blackout includes dozens of creators and their maps, including a supermajority of the most popular competitively relevant world maps. It will continue until we see action from GeoGuess; specifically, we demand that GeoGuess cancels its wildcard event in Saudi Arabia and commits to not hosting any events there as long as it continues its oppressive regime.
You don't play games with human rights.
Thank you for reading.
The GeoGuess mapping community

DOGE is disproportionately targeting grants in blue states that voted for Harris. This is about political retribution. Credit to u/airmovingdevice for this. www.reddit.com/r/dataisbeau...
"A two-part data visualization showing the distribution of federal grant cancellations across U.S. counties, with a focus on political alignment.

The top scatter plot represents all grants from FY2021-2025, with total obligated amounts on a logarithmic scale (y-axis) and the Trump-over-Harris margin in the county of the grant recipient on the x-axis. Gray dots represent all grants (~24 million), while red dots indicate cancelled grants (4,679). The vertical dashed line at zero represents politically neutral counties. The red dots appear more concentrated in counties with negative Trump-over-Harris margins, suggesting more cancellations in counties that leaned towards Harris.

The bottom histogram displays the fraction of total grants (gray) and cancelled grants (red) across the Trump-over-Harris margin. The red bars are more pronounced on the left side (negative margin), reinforcing the observation that grant cancellations were more frequent in counties that voted for Harris."
