Did fiscal conservatism block plans for a new flood warning system in Kerr County?
In the last nine years, federal funding for a system has been denied to the county as it contends with a tax base hostile to government overspending.

JFK airport fucking sucks. Why is it routinely the norm now to sit for at least an hour begging to be let off your plane when landing here at this point

spoke to badru, the indie dev who recently decided to pull a game he considers his "baby" from xbox in solidarity with bds. he told me the team has received such enthusiastic support that they've already made back money lost, and he hopes other indies will follow their lead
!["A lot of developers are on contracts or under situations where this would be a bigger decision for them to make. But now I see some other indies realizing that this is an option, a way to show solidarity with BDS,” he said. “So I do hope to see other indies taking their work off of Xbox. There's so many people like me where being on Xbox is not making or breaking your ability to survive, and it just feels gross."
In the meantime, Badru is just glad to see that people care.
"I know the gaming community has two very different faces, but the side of it that I see the most, especially among indie developers, is very progressive, cares a lot about peace and justice, and does not like to see what's been going on in Palestine,” he said. “People have been really enthusiastically positive about [Tenderfoot Tactics’ removal from the Xbox store]. It's been really nice to see."](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:5gdejlhcswjbzraadoltdpps/bafkreid7zi6wsopwefyztm4wger7p3znqcj6ntb5a3wds7l7y7dtc7zq6y@jpeg)

With the Oblivion remaster taking up the hype cycle, it's probably a good time to re-up that the Palestinian-led BDS movement has asked for a boycott of Microsoft's gaming products due to the company's ongoing and enthusiastic technical support for the IDF's ongoing genocide in Gaza.
Games media can't ignore BDS Xbox boycott

New from me in @newrepublic.com: “Primary Every Democrat.”
If the current crop cannot demonstrate they care more about democracy than enjoying three-day weekends, we should flood the zone and challenge them all.

Primary Every Democrat
It’s exhausting to watch poll-tested, donor-beholden congressional Democrats continue to be too old, too cloistered, and too bumbling to do anything as the government burns.
