I am old and my taste is largely impacted by the time I spent programming mods for all my favorite games. Honorable mention Goldeneye just based on total hours clocked. I took 10+ years off gaming but got a switch 2 last year and it rules.

ICE shot and arrested this nurse’s husband. He called her right after he was shot but she didn’t get to him in time to see him before he was arrested for being Venezuelan. This person holding her is doing what ANY decent human being would do given the circumstance. Anyone defending this is indecent.

As we approach the long weekend it is important to acknowledge that most laborers do not get holidays off, and that May Day is the real worker’s holiday. This AI search result gave itself to me without asking for it.
Why the U.S. Chose Labor Day
The U.S. government avoided celebrating May Day because of its association with radical politics, including socialism, anarchism, and the violent Haymarket Affair. Following labor unrest and strikes in 1894, President Grover Cleveland signed legislation to make September's Labor Day an official federal holiday to honor workers without the political tension of May 1st.

Nowhere else in the world were prefabricated tower blocks produced on such a frighteningly large scale. Between 1953 and 1991. 80,000 blocks, or panelaks, with
1.2 million apartments were built in Czechoslovakia.

TLDR these spam PACs like Progressive Turnout Project are robbing your elderly Democratic parents with constant, urgent calls to donate, but less than 10% of the donated money goes to campaigns they claim to support.
Through 2025, Pascal's network of PACs raised more than $390 million from individual donors.
According to my analysis of FEC filings, roughly $20 million of that went directly to Democratic candidates, or funded independent expenditures supporting them. Another $100 million or so covered field and get-out-the-vote programs and the payroll to staff them, and roughly $20 million more went to administrative costs. The rest - an estimated $249 million, or 64 cents of every dollar raised — went to fundraising itself. 3

not always into sensationalism but wow, what a lead in!
This investigation was originally developed for The New York Times, where it underwent eight months of editing, multiple rounds of fact-checking, and independent replication of the underlying methodology. The piece had a scheduled publication date when requests for comment were sent. It was only after the Times reached out to the subjects of the investigation for routine comment that the Elias Law Group, representing the DCCC and DSCC, sent a cease-and-desist letter demanding the paper not publish. Although the paper's fact-checkers and legal department later cleared the piece before sending out a second round of requests for comment, the Times ultimately decided to kill the piece.The piece was subsequently slated for publication at The Bulwark, where it underwent additional fact-checking, data verification, and legal review. When requests for comment were sent to the subjects of the investigation, lawyers representing the Progressive Turnout Project and Mothership Strategies likewise responded with legal letters demanding that the article not run. From there, publication was repeatedly delayed. The piece cleared successive rounds of legal review. When I asked for a committed publication date after months of delay, The Bulwark conditioned publication on my accepting an extensive rewrite prepared by its editors that, in my assessment, removed key empirical findings without explanation, introduced claims contradicted by the data and fact-checking record, and presented the subjects' legal defenses as my own conclusions. When I declined to publish under those terms, the piece was released back to me.

If Moda is a “first class arena” … then the renovations aren’t critical repairs… and the argument for 100% public investment crumbles. If the arena is NOT first class… then the Blazers org is in breach of contract… or they can avoid breach by ponying up funds. Seems pretty simple.

i made a thing
• From ripcity community on Reddit
Statement from Mayor Keith Wilson:
"From the start, the City has committed to striking the best deal for Portland. The Blazers are our tenant.
We're their landlord. We value them, and we recognize that we need each other for the long-term. We are continuing to engage in a community-driven process as we approach a City Council vote in August.
We are operating on an aggressive timeline to reach a new lease, and we have been explicit with the Blazers that design information and clarity around public investment are necessary to move forward. The absence of essential details from the Blazers is slowing progress at a moment when urgency is required. We know that the NBA is committed to Portland and we look forward to working with them to ensure negotiations on a renovated Moda Center and a new long-term lease happen in good faith."From ripcity community on Reddit
"The suggestion that the Trail Blazers are withholding essential information is not accurate.
The Trail Blazers and the City worked for several months in lockstep with the state and county in developing what became Senate Bill 1501 and a market-rate deal framework.
Since that time, we've been engaged in multiple discussions of renovation elements, conceptual visions, and building walkthroughs with the Mayor and other City officials. The City has more information than state leaders had during the legislative session.
The Trail Blazers are ready to begin formal negotiations immediately using the framework set for us by SB 1501 and the $365 million already made available for this project. However, the parties must reach an agreement this year. We share the City's sense of urgency. The next step for the City to bring a term sheet to the table.'KEITH WILSON fights

Over on Facebook, the rage engagement algorithm is currently remutigating the US Civil War and decrying anti-slavery violence. This is Mark Zuckerberg’s legacy: turning “a place for friends” into a psychotorture program upsetting enough to react and comment, so ad sales stay strong.

PBS says it was the night of May 24, 1856, when Brown and a group of men, including his sons, went near Pottawatomie Creek where several slavery sympathizers were staying. Brown ordered James Doyle out of his home, murdering three members of the Doyle family with broadswords by splitting open their heads and cutting off their arms.
James Doyle himself was shot in the head, and two more men from nearby cabins were also shot.Brown is also remembered for his failed attempt to lead a slave insurrection at Harpers Ferry, Virginia, in October 1859, which led to his execution.
Brown has become a darling of leftists in recent years, supposedly a man ahead of his time who was willing to confront a great evil with extremely brutal tactics. In reality, abolitionists like Brown only inflamed sectional tensions between the North and South.
By admiring Brown on his birthday, Jeffries is effectively saying by any means, he will oppose his opposition, so-called "white supremacists."

Can anyone working in journalism reach out to Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem and ask him, “Hey man, what did you mean when you emailed Jeffrey Epstein and said ‘enjoyed the torture video.’?” Or is this one of those things that only the crazies on Bluesky care about whereas respectable X journos don’t?
A climate charity unsettled
By Hiroko Tabuchi
The Earthshot Prize, an initiative founded by Prince William that aims to fund promising climate solutions, is a prestigious affair. Last year's Earthshot awards ceremony, in Rio de Janeiro, featured a weeklong celebration with performances by Kylie Minogue and Shawn Mendes. (
Now, a pall hangs over the prize proceedings, set to take place in Mumbai this year. A major funder of the awards, the global port logistics company DP World, has been rocked by recent revelations of close ties between its billionaire chief executive, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, and the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In one initially redacted email from 2009, bin Sulayem tells Epstein he had
"enjoyed the torture video." Bin Sulayem's identity was later revealed by the Department of Justice after pressure from two U.S. representatives, Ro Khanna, Democrat of California, and Thomas Massie, a Kentucky Republican, to make public more names. Bin Sulayem stepped down as chairman of DP World this month.
It's one way the Epstein scandal has encroached into the climate and

One thing that’s striking in this filing from 2008 is that this list of implicated persons is several pages long and the pedophile President of the United States is the fifth person on the list. A woman whom Epstein abused as a girl names four other people who knew, then Trump.
List the names and addresses of all persons who are believed or known by you, your agents or attorneys to have any knowledge concerning any of the issues in this lawsuit; and specify the subject matter about which the witness has knowledge.
