NEW: Israel informed the UN it will permit only 300 aid trucks into Gaza daily, not the 600 mandated by the ceasefire it just signed.

This is Chop. He was shot and killed by masked assailants in plain clothes who go by ICE. They showed up at his door "looking for migrants after receiving a tip." The son of the family asked if they could wait before entering the home while he put Chop away in the bathroom, as the dog can be aggressive with strangers.
According to the family, it is at this point that the son went to his pickup truck to retrieve his ID and a Border Patrol agent entered the home, opened the bathroom door, and shot Chop. None of the agents helped the family, who desperately tried to render aid to Chop, as he bled to death on the kitchen floor. Unsurprisingly, the agent who shot their dog then hid from them and refused to give his name. Even more unsurprising, they did not find any evidence of the migrants they were there to terrorize in the first place.
Do not open your door for these fucking losers. Rest easy Chop

We’ve met with Greta Thunberg and others in the flotilla. They describe hours-long scenes of torture and sexual harassment in Israeli captivity. Experts conclude that they have been subjected to serious crimes – Sweden’s foreign minister believes they have themselves to blame.

What in the actual fuck?

Videogamer was one of the best websites in the world in the industry at one point.

It had an incredible team involved at numerous stages with the Orrys, Dave Scammell, Martin Gaston, Emily Gera, Bratt, etc.

And now, it’s…this!?!?

Alex Donaldson @apzonerunner.com · 9h

Videogamer's new logo a screaming exclamation mark on the 'support independent games media' argument. Legitimately thought this was someone taking the piss when it was first posted in a discord, but no, it's on the site. You have to laugh (or else you'll cry)

This is a monumentally brilliant oral history by @mattleone.bsky.social and @designroom.bsky.social on Shadow of the Colossus, 20 years since its release.

Features an incredible array of people commenting on it who were there from start to finish — including, of course, Fumito Ueda.

Fantastic.

A mom in Houston reported her 15-year-old son with autism missing. She spent 6 days terrified, searching for him. The whole time, Houston police knew exactly where he was since they helped ICE place him in a refugee facility.

This is beyond cruel.

Re-posting this again because I really want to get over myself and the immense shitty body dysmorphia/crappy smile feelings I get when I post a photo of myself.

I really like this photo and I’ll be damned if I let my brain try to tell me otherwise!

I’m very apprehensive of posting photos myself so often, but I quite like how this one turned out (I have a few dozen others too but keeping them for myself).
