“Rent relief for tenants who have fallen behind as a result of the ICE raids and money for legal aid and other services are among the provisions in the declaration.”

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

The Steam Deck has been out for 3 years and nobody can best it.
More powerful handhelds are in 1 of 2 camps.

1. Actually more powerful and runs games slightly better but WAY more expensive.

2. More powerful on paper but either matches Steam Deck performance or even falls behind due to Windows.

My Xbox Ally and Xbox Ally X review.

The top phrases running through my mind while testing it:

"Someone's getting fired for greenlighting this launch"

"This is not an Xbox"

"If this is the future of Xbox, Xbox is screwed."

Went with the middle.

This is not an Xbox

Microsoft’s first “Xbox” handhelds are shipping not fully baked.

Yeah, as one who watched a white HS classmate come to school in blackface and receive absolutely no discipline from school administration (this was in 2005), I have many thoughts about this whole "Racism wasn't as big a deal in the 00's" talk.

Jack Tripper @chadstanton.blacksky.app · 3h

I don’t know how to approach “Republicans weren’t racist in the early aughts” as someone who went to Texas during the early aughts and had to debate whether or not Black students were “stealing” people’s spots in class.

I said it the other day but yeah you got Tron, an extremely niche franchise that had a movie 40 years ago, a sequel 15 years ago that everyone hated at the time and has been abandoned ever since, and a canceled cartoon that actually did new shit people really liked

"Some at Disney were always concerned only die-hard fans would show up, which isn’t a Leto issue but an IP problem. They were right; 18- to 24-year-old males, the sweet spot, badly underindexed."

Since the announcement of Tron 3, I don't know who this movie is aimed at. Teens & young adults or...

“No One Asked for This Reboot”: ‘Tron’ May Mark End of Jared Leto’s Franchise-Leading Days

As 'Ares' disappoints, insiders question whether the self-styled boundary-pushing A-lister can still be counted on to carry a franchise vehicle to the bank.

I still think if they ever did perma-kill the Joker it should be done via a random citizen getting luck.

Think about it: The Clown Prince of Crime dies not to Batman finally breaking his code, but a random Joe just got a lucky pot shot. A perfect final joke

@atbashhang Bro I used to work at Auntie Anne's and the amount of people I had to turn away because the Al chatbot did the same thing and gave them an interview time when we weren't supposed to take any made me feel bad every time

Rick Jones coined the term in Peter David’s Captain Marvel run.

Gwenpool: Hey, fellow fourth wall breaking lady! Break any fourth walls recently?
She-Hulk: Technically speaking it’s one of my superpowers. “Comics awareness.” get it, it’s a play on cosmic awareness. It’s the ability to process fundamental knowledge of workings of the universe and translate said knowledge in a way the human mind can comprehend without shattering.
Gwenpool: ooh, metaphysics-y.
She-Hulk: It’s mostly to make the science types happy. They get uncomfortable when things get too…”fun.”

A four panel comic strip. An anthropomorphic wolf man runs into an office where three others are working at their desks. He says, "The fire marshal is coming for annual inspections!" In the next panel, a seated wolf is playing with a remote control airplane, and a smoke detector with an open battery compartment is mounted on the wall above him. The first wolf says "Put that 9 volt back in the smoke detector!" In the third panel, an anthropomorphic dog holds a power strip while standing next to a sculpture comprised of multiple power strips. The first wolf says "Hide your..."Daisy Chain Power Strip" sculpture!?" In the fourth panel, a bear proudly displays his t-shirt which reads "I love storing combustibles around radiators." The first wolf, in exasperation, yells "CHANGE YOUR SHIRT!"

lets say a wizard has cursed you with a lot of money. you are going to become permanently brain damaged simply by being in possession of so much money. the only way out of it is to spend a lot of money on something ridiculous and not at all useful

what would you buy to break the curse?
