TIME Magazine (!!!) asked me to explain what the wider world should know about Catherine Connolly:

The Meaning of Ireland's New Anti-Establishment President

Catherine Connolly has a change mandate that may put her at odds with Ireland's own government—and its allies in Europe and America.

FAT now features the full cast of 2XKO! I added all the frame data and notes myself and it took me about 60 hours total.

I'd really appreciate any shares, as it's been a lot of work!

You can't always trust the frame meter in 2XKO esp when it comes to projectiles, which it really struggles with. Most sources have Yasuo Wind Wall listed as 18f startup, but THIS is the frame when it actually becomes active (frame 20) #2XKO_YASUO

Warwick is the only character in the game who does not have "Until Landing" recovery frames on his Jump H.

i.e. Warwick can do another move after jH before landing #2XKO_WARWICK

🧵 A thread of interesting things I've spotted in the 2XKO Frame Data as I go through it for FAT!

Braum's 5H is a massive +8 oH, and he has two 8f moves, but 5H pushback is designed specifically not to allow him to combo.

Unless your opp is wide... #2XKO_BRAUM

It's been a year of running Dublin FGC locals and we've accomplished a lot! My local FGC here has been an important part of my life for the last 16 (!!) years so helping to revive it has been a labour of love.

Happy Labor Day!

Today we're bringing you The First Union, as told by HBomberguy (@hbomberguy.bsky.social) and illustrated by Skutch (@skutchdraws.bsky.social) It's the dawn of the industrial revolution, and of the way many of us work...

Have you ever heard of the term "Luddite" from an elder?

Stanhill, Lancashire, 1764. Wear and carpenter James Hargreaves invents the Spinning Jenny, the first practical spinning-frame, to make the tedious task of producing cloth a little bit faster. He doesn't know it yet, but this will destroy the world.

Spurred by inventions like his, the industrial revolution will transform everything -- work power, the wealth of nations. Society as we know it began here, and it wasn't great for everyone. But a group of weavers and textile workers saw this future coming. And did their best to prevent it.

"Curse you spinning jenny, you ruined everything!" The standard narrative does that LUDDITES were foolish lunatics who, in fear of technology, decided progress was bad, and started hitting it with sticks. But the truth is entire ways of life were being destroyed.

Previously, skilled craftsmen were respected for the time and effort it took to do their work. The entire family usit would form a cottage industry - creating something valuable, and command a decent living. But when a machine can work 10 times faster its owner can charge less for the prodcts- craftsmen couldn't compete and were left out of work almost overnight.

And as factories became a fixture of the british landscape, these now unemployed labourers often ended up working the factories that had just destroyed their way of life. Britain was the most prosperous nation in history, factory owners became extremely wealthy and influential. But the people doing the actual work saw almost none of it.

Factory work paid little, since "the machines" did "the real work" human labourers were deemed unimportant and replaceable. FUN FACT!: Factory owners preferred to hire ORPHANS since less people would notice if they were maimed or killed on the job!

Now the owners quickly realized the workers might notice they did all the work for almost no pay. If they went on STRIKE or ARGUED FOR HGHER WAGES, this would threaten their tremendous wealth. In 1799, Parliament passed the Combination Act, which made FORMING TRADE UNIONS, COLLECTIVE BARGAINING, AND GOING ON STRIKE ILLEGAL. Organizing against the rich became a crime.

If you were living through it, opposing the industrial revolution wasn't techno-phobia. It was SELF-DEFENSE. The combination act forced unions underground into secret societies. And the greatest secret of all was their leader - Ned Ludd. Ned had been a folk character for years. In one version after being whipped by his master, he smashed two knitting frames in a rage. In more fanciful versions, he then escaped to the Sherwood forest, here he lived among the animals as their king. Some versions specifically call him 'Much Better Than Robin Hood'.

The fighting game scene is desperate for financing - but that same financing might ultimately kill it.

Opinion: The Saudi takeover of fighting games' biggest tournament means players - and the community - have a choice to make: between its culture and a payout. www.eurogamer.net/the-saudi-ar...
