Interesting discussion going on on Twitter between Shadi Hamid and Matthew Petti, the latter being of course more correct than the former. In particular this struck me:

They're using the confinement box, one of the most horrific methods of CIA torture in the post-9/11 black sites, against migrants now. This is the direct result of the lack of consequences for the architects of the torture program. Either there will be criminal penalties for this or it will expand.
Torture Techniques from CIA Black Sites Were Used at Alligator Alcatraz
Amnesty International, interviewing migrant detainees, identifies use of the confinement box. There can be no denying it is a torture prison

So Israel is colonizing the West Bank now. They have broken the ceasefire numerous times. They are literally ripping babies out of the stomachs of Palestinian women.

We have got to get Israel out of our congress. We need them to pledge absolutely no money from any Israeli government organization.

My dad abhors any negative comments about immigrants. Asked him recently why he’s so strong on it: ‘Because we’re always happy to take the rich and clever ones. Which means it’s not about disliking immigrants. It’s about disliking the poor and vulnerable. And that’s a bad human instinct.’
This is so disgusting.

The Idf attacked the US, assassinated, assaulted & kidnapped Americans, stole secrets, manipulated politicians, & took away rights & money.

Satanyahoo armed & paid H4mas, ISIS & al Qaeda.

AIPAC has caused the US to attack nations that never threatened them & endangered their national security.

This is just slavery again
This is a powerful illustration from Amnesty International depicting “The Box” at Alligator Alcatraz.

This is where they would put detainees to torture them.

In the hot sun, swarmed by insects.

This was used as a torture device.

ICE and DeSantis must answer for these crimes against humanity.

Good games use their story to support the gameplay and use their gameplay to support the story. It's an upward spiraling loop.

Also, most people aren't obsessed with abstract gameplay mechanics (and the few people who are obsessed are probably game devs). You need story to get people to care.

People need to be keeping eyes on Tunisia. A range of frail & elderly political prisoners—including famous politicians like Rached Ghannouchi—are hunger striking & could die any day now, god forbid.

Meanwhile, Saied is undertaking yet another crackdown & discontent is growing.

Pierre Poilievre hates women and smirks at not only gender-based violence, but he thinks MMIWG being sexually assaulted is HILARIOUS. Now wonder all the red pillers flock to him. He’s their Temu tyrant

they aren't normal human beings. they grew up with a concept of entitlement so pervasive that they never figured out what they might be good at contributing to human society, and it twisted their brains so badly, their synapses into misfiring so often that they're basically powerful slime molds

they want to straight up be stupid as dogshit, they want to be dumb as a puddle, but know that it doesn't matter because they can just say "i dunno man make the computer show me a whole ass movie I asked it to" and it just works and then they get paid for it and the person who did the work doesn't

IQ is completely fake, means nothing, and not based on science at all so of course the far right has adopted it as justification for insane beliefs, most recently anti-somalian rhetoric

Read that defense of Olivia Nuzzi and 1. The editors allowed the phrase “smack drab” to be published. And 2. they allowed the author to compare Nuzzi’s self-induced situation to lynching. Lynching!
