Crowd is massive, now overflowing Congress Plaza and taking up a block-long stretch of Michigan Avenue.

Reminder: this event was only announced yesterday.

My favourite thing about this interview is the mention of Miyamoto walking through Nintendo's offices just watching people work like Paul Hollywood in the Bake Off tent. The idea of such a workplace is simultaneously delightful and horrifying all at once.
Nintendo’s games feel special in a way other developers can’t quite imitate. But why? According to @mackeza.bsky.social, author of Super Nintendo, an upcoming book about the Mario and Zelda maker, it’s because teams are intergenerational

🚨⚡ Um raio atingiu bolsonaristas em Brasília nesta tarde. Eles estavam aguardando Nikolas Ferreira no Memorial JK para um protesto pela soltura de Bolsonaro quando um raio atingiu a praça. Três bolsonaristas foram para o hospital.

I'm really tired of seeing all these dem politicians saying "well we all want secure borders, but-" in all these fucking pressers. I don't really give a shit how good my neighbors are at doing paperwork. I don't think people who say "come here the right way" understand that they themselves couldn't.

restaurants run on razor-thin profits, and chefs are the first people in your community to step up and help feed people. a weekend being closed devastates them. please, please, patronize that place you've been meaning to check out as soon as it's safe to do so - this is how community thrives.

We still don't know the names of the ICE agents who killed Gonzàlez behind the wheel of his car outside Chicago in September.

They were unmasked in this BWC footage from Franklin Park police.

If you have any information at all about these men—please text us on Signal at unraveled.66

BTW when I say abolish ICE, I mean abolish it entirely and replace it with exactly nothing. Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. That's it.

every time a screenshot from this game pops up I feel beholden to explain to our younger readers that the Nintendo Entertainment System sold a Friday the 13th game in which Jason unambiguously kills a series of children, and you lose the game when you run out of children

This is what epistemic vandalism looks like. Not just erasure, but insisting on a standard of communication that is by default dehumanizing, degrading and degendering, laundered as neutral language on pseudoscientific grounds.

Encoding bias into how we are even referred to.
The BBC claims to have “research” that supports its decision to use abusive transphobic terms for trans women.

But it will not share that “research”.

At the most basic level research is not research if it is not published.

It is just a lie. The BBC is lying.

Fear of witches spread across Europe from c.1300. The author of this book, Johan Weyer, was a voice of reason in a time of terror - arguing that it was due to mental illness and superstition. He believed this was a problem for doctors, not clerics

'The biggest key to not having a redux of Trump authoritarianism is deflating the police state that he's depending on to target us all. But in doing so, that includes tackling the average Democratic politician's instincts to be "tough on crime" and pro-police.'
