turning off replies and quotes because zionists are already showing up to spew apologia for genocide and I don't want to wake up in 8 hours to find dozens of them filling my interaction tab

Palestine’s most popular leader, Marwan Barghouti, was beaten unconscious and has his ribs broken by Israeli prison guards and his family fears for his life, his son has said, citing evidence given by former Palestinian detainees released this week as part of the ceasefire deal.

Israel needs to be dismantled not rehabilitated

Analysts express concern over the rehabilitation of Israel, even as it says it has done no wrong.

even the act of returning bodies of the dead to Palestine is made grotesque - they're unidentifiable, all cuffed and bound, clearly executed by gunshot or being run over by tanks (reported by CNN, so it's even in the pro-zionist outlets). I can't get my head around it!

every single bit of news that comes out of Palestine makes my heart hurt and makes me boggle at the gleeful cruelty of the occupying colonisers. every permutation of misery is inflicted on these poor people

Mechanicus is genuinely pretty good though has some flaws. It's trying to do something that isn't just XCOM though, which puts it above many other tactics games

Battlesector is decent but a bit slow/dry. good at evoking the tabletop though

may I also suggest: demo of Menace, not 40k but great

the adaptation is bad imo, just terrible UI fighting against the interesting setup of the game

saw some English Greens recently bemoaning that the Scottish Greens are 'primarily a secessionist party' (a dubious idea tbh) and wondering if they'll now get annoyed at their own party's leader saying this stuff

Pathologic 3 demo living up to expectations

Screenshot of Pathologic 3 showing a tragedian - a thin black-suited figure with a white mask - highlighted in green with text floating around him. The text reads:

I was lured into a student art performance once

No script and no characters, because "the dictatorship of the author and traditional narrative structures" is "reactionary"

So far TODAY Israel has:

- bombed Gaza City
- bombed Khan Younis
- shot and killed five Palestinians in Gaza City
- refused to open the Rafah border crossing
- announced they would once more block aid

This is what a "ceasefire" with Israel looks like. This is what it has always looked like.
