95% certain that this was done for both eventual IPO/investment and protection of the devs so they don't get attacked for shitty decisions and have to see it at the top of replies

On the occasion of Halloween, @newrepublic.com asked me to write about what’s going on in Chicago and I wanted you all to know what randomized terror feels like. And also that as the federal government fails our kids, everyday Chicagoans are showing the courage of trying to protect them.

ICE Is Terrorizing Chicago for Halloween—and Parents Are Fighting Back

Fear and a whiff of tear gas hang over festivities this year. In response, even people who aren’t usually politically engaged are mobilizing.

Le Monde: "Ceasefires in Gaza and Lebanon both favor Israel.
Israeli violations of the Gaza ceasefire have resulted in far more deaths."

The humanitarian crisis for Gazans isn't over. They rely on our donations to survive.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem and others. ❤️🙏

New from 404 Media: you can't refuse to be scanned by ICE's new facial recognition app, according to internal DHS document I obtained. Photos captured by the app are stored for 15 years, including U.S. citizens. We've seen officers scanning faces w/ phones on streets

There was an article a few years ago where they interviewed a lesbian classmate of his who knew him throughout college and constantly described him as like, center-left and supporting LGBT, but the second he went into politics he changed how he acted in texts and calls with her

I need to know who the VA tried to channel or learn from to put that kind of perfectly indignant intonation into that

Vince @jalapenopants18.bsky.social · 21h

The fact that he went from "has multiple LGBT colleagues who he loves and supports" to "anti-trans racist" in around 5 years says a lot about him just being a chameleon for power and influence in whatever situation he's in

A lot of the business failures of the games industry are really rooted in this desire to create a product that dominates the market. The recent Amazon thing really highlights that: they wanted to create a product that outperformed Steam, but they didn't understand Steam or what the audience wanted.

I uh don't think he knows the actual lifespan of groceries the second they leave the store. Literally only canned goods and frozen goods actually survive past 2 weeks, let alone an entire month

Rep. Clay Higgins of Louisiana blames SNAP recipients for not stockpiling a month's worth of food.

He ends his tweet with "stop smoking crack."

Rep. Clay Higgins:

There are 22 million American households receiving SNAP benefits for groceries, at $4200 per year on average.
Try to get your head wrapped around how many pantries you can stock with $4200 dollars in properly shopped groceries.
Any American who has been receiving $4200 dollars per year of free groceries and does NOT have at least 1 month of groceries stocked should never again receive SNAP, because wow, stop smoking crack.

The civilians in Gaza are displaced, hungry and under constant attack, despite an agreed cease fire. Their Bluesky accounts are always deleted. We're their only voice and means of survival.

Please give to my dear friend Tasneem so she can feed her children. And to others. ❤️🙏
