i always used to stay on top of news about emulator progress, fan tls and then recomps but introducing ai slop into everything has not destroyed the scene but it has created a parallel, much worse and more visible scene on top that many people don’t care about the difference. miserable to follow now

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Text: “A friend said those of us who live in Minneapolis should write about what's going on here for folks who live elsewhere. You need to know that whether you're a Republican, Independent or Democrat, the Constitution is being violated by our federal government. This is not about catching criminals, or even deporting people. It is about punishing an entire state, including
citizens, for not supporting the president. Everyone in my part of Minneapolis is affected. On our streets, ICE is stopping people of color and demanding their papers. In America. US citizens do not have to prove citizenship to ICE. Yet people are being intimidated, some cases beaten up and detained, for requiring ICE to follow the law. ICE needs a judicial warrant to enter homes. Yet there are documented cases of them
ignoring the law - violating a bedrock constitutional principle. Americans of color are staying home, afraid to go to work, school, to grocery shop, or fill their cars with gas. This isn't just "illegals" or immigrants with valid work permits, it is citizens who have had their cars rammed by ICE for merely looking Hispanic. Businesses are closing. Schools are 50 percent full. When they are open, fascists are calling in bomb threats because the
president decided to make us a meme. After a daycare teacher with a valid work permit (through 2030) was snatched from her workplace, parents (and grandparents) have had to organize to watch their SCHOOLS, to make sure conditional rights are observed. This is being repeated throughout Minnesota. Imagine trying to do your job or live you life while also taking volunteer shifts to make sure the federal
government doesn't act extrajudicially.
Because of ICE's documented abuses, neighbors have organized to monitor federal actions. This observation is legal, as long as it doesn't interfere with a valid action. Yet since ICE killed Renee Good, they are increasingly stopping this observation, breaking car windows and …”

Nonsense Facebook post from TopSpin Central:

UNPRECEDENTED MOMENT IN HISTORY TENNIS
HISTORY: Tennis player Alexandra Eala shocked the tennis world when she called on the TENNIS community to observe a moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. In a tearful speech, Alexandra Eala said: "It is heartbreaking to see America lose such an important voice. My deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. This is not only their loss, but also a reminder that we must come together, respect each other, and defend the values that this country holds dear." Her statement created a lasting patriotic movement in the American community because of its nature!

23h
Last night in Nashville, James Hetfield delivered a moment so powerful it left an entire stadium breathless. In the middle of his set-just as the music thundered and the lights blazed-he suddenly stopped. Holding the microphone close, his voice rang out across the crowd, asking everyone to join him in a one-minute moment of silence for Charlie Kirk and the innocent lives lost on 9/11.
And then, silence. More than 25,000 people stood still -no cheers, no music, only reverence. A single minute passed, heavy with sorrow, yet radiant with unity.
When the silence ended, James Hetfield lifted his voice. Soft at first, then rising strong, he began to sing "God Bless America." The crowd erupted-tens of thousands of voices soaring together, filling the night sky with a chorus of hope and pride. American flags waved high. Tears streamed down faces. What had been silence became a tidal wave of song, spirit, and unbreakable togetherness.
James Hetfield didn't just pause a concert-he transformed it into a sacred tribute, a reminder of loss, resilience, and the grace of a nation standing as one.

MOMENT UNPRECEDENTED IN MLB HISTORY:
Yankees Legend CC Sabathia shocked the MLB after calling for a moment of silence in memory of Charlie Kirk. In a tearful speech, CC Sabathia said: "It is heartbreaking to see America lose such an important voice. My deepest condolences to their families and loved ones. This is not only their loss, but also a reminder that we must come together, respect each other and stand up for the values that this country holds dear." Charlie Kirka husband and father of two - passed away at the age of 31. CC Sabathia emotionally shared: "I am a father myself and I understand that emptiness." And then, he unexpectedly made a special decision for Charlie's two children
