This weekend, three men in Evanston hugged their families goodbye to look for work at Home Depot but were attacked by ICE before they could return home.

Two were abducted, one is petrified of leaving the home.

Earlier this year, Dr. Jane Goodall sat down for an interview for Brad Falchuk’s new Netflix series, Famous Last Words.

The premise of the series is to interview people on the condition that the interview not air until the subject has passed away.

ER doc here! This is a lie. Wait times are up because the American healthcare system is an unsustainable business model and a for-profit national healthcare system just doesn’t work. These problems will continue to get worse until we change that system. It literally has nothing to do with immigrants
Vance: "If you're an American citizen & you've been to the hospital in the last few years, you've probably noticed wait times are especially large & very often somebody who's there in the ER is an illegal alien. Why do those people get healthcare benefits at hospitals paid for by American citizens?"

Consume Me is a work of autobiography born out of its creator's real experiences growing up in NYC. I spent a day with the devs visiting real places that inspired the game and looking through boxes of high school memories. A chat about how to adapt reality to game. www.polygon.com/consume-me-j...
The artists who turned teenage obsessions into an award-winning video game
To create an interactive autobiography, Consume Me's creators had to turn teenage memories into playable self-portraits.

More than 1800 detainees are missing after the closure of Alligator Alcatraz. Their families and lawyers can’t find them and they’ve vanished from the ICE database. Feels like this should be a much bigger story www.miamiherald.com/news/local/i...
Hundreds of Alligator Alcatraz detainees drop off the grid after leaving site
As of the end of August, the whereabouts of two-thirds of more than 1,800 men detained at Alligator Alcatraz during the month of July could not be determined by the Miami Herald.

i don’t think people on bluesky understand the severity of this situation.

i woke up to literally hundreds of texts from friends and family thinking about either moving back home to india or applying to other countries for jobs. this includes me.
Those on an H1B cannot return to the US from tomorrow (Sunday) unless paying $100K. This is an out-of-the blue presidential action. We’ll see software engineers stranded abroad.

One easy to predict outcome: those on US visas will travel less… for work, for conferences etc.

Getting sick of the term “political violence” when a public figure closely aligned w/one ideology or other is a victim. ICE is also political violence. Armies are also political violence. Not sure of my point - just wish for a term that doesn’t immediately wall an act like this off from all the rest

One week ago, thousands of New Yorkers tried something new.

They heard about it last minute. They didn’t know where it would take them or who they would meet. It was free, earnest, even educational.

It was the #ZcavengerHunt and it was a thing of beauty.

A beautiful afternoon with @bkbpreynoso.bsky.social on Brooklyn’s only Summer Street, when Eastern Pkwy is closed to vehicles and opened up for New Yorkers to gather, move and play. We should do it more often!

Song Rec! Getting Closer by Warbly Jets – String instruments keeping us in a cloud view above darkness, lyrics reporting the hope that's billowing within the smoke of disaster each time those violins return. Drums calling out for a long awaited sunrise you can't yet see but still believe in

Random Nathann song rec! Taxes by Geese — Completely arresting lyrics that instantly rip sympathy out of you with insanely subtle word choice, plus a melodic build up halfway through that has you plunging into the deep but with an instant desire to gasp for air. Perfect for cinematic revelations.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe.

Will we listen to his words today?

Our own government is now using our own military against our own people! There is NO NEED for this and it isn't legal - this is a show of agression and intimidation by Trump against US citizens. PAY ATTENTION to what is going on right now.
BREAKING: 500 Marines are being deployed in LA, according to CNN. This is in addition to 300 National Guard troops deployed already.

Even in 1992 during the Rodney King riots, the Marines were not involved. Just the National Guard, at request of the then-CA governor

One of the best things about Noah's writing is his ability to take nothing for granted. He contextualizes gameplay systems that I barely noticed, and demonstrates how they impact the feel of a game.
