45 years ago tonight, Tempe, AZ. Bruce Springsteen and the E. Street Band. A four hour show. Most of it captured on video. Here's how he opened his second set with references to local car dealer Tex Earnhardt. youtu.be/YdLC-sG4f4U?...

Hasan: The UK still has a king. King Charles III, but he has less gold in his palace then Donald Trump in the oval office right now. King Charles has more respect for democratic norms than the whiny manchild trying to send his troops into as many blue cities as he can.

I think I still have one of those 3.5" disks somewhere. Here's a video looking at it, with some history about PTEN in the commentary around it.
It's not game-related, but the Babylon 5 Interactive Information Kit has been preserved. This is a Windows 3.1 multimedia floppy sent to TV stations around 1994 to help promote the show, and it's a fun time capsule of computer materials (and the show) at the time: youtu.be/IYDy3pnvqxU?...

I know Mo Ryan from her media reporting on SF/F TV series. She was at the ICE protest in Chicago today and has this report on what was going on there today.
I went to the Broadview ICE detention center this afternoon/evening. The first 2 hours were pretty quiet. Several dozen protesters & occasionally some Fascism Enjoyers who shouted things but mostly lowkey. But then a violent Christofascist biker rolled up & that was not good. Everyone is OK. Thread:

1. Led by Elon Musk, the far-right has exploded in a campaign to get Netflix to remove shows with queer and trans characters.
If Netflix capitulates to their demands, an already strained market for LGBTQ+ animators might become even more dire.

I concur with this sentiment.
[S] The Trump administration and those aligned with it are fascists. Their policies, statements, and behavior make that plain. This should not be controversial. It's certainly not to me.
Please, if you have the privilege of not being an obvious and immediate target for state violence...
Call them fascists, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.
Call yourself an antifascist, loudly, ESPECIALLY right now.
We all need to be Spartacus on this one.
