32 personnes ont été tuées par ICE en 2025

L'assassinat de Renee Nicole Good est horrible,
mais il faut le redire:
32 personnes ont été tuées par ICE en 2025
(et perso je pense que les chiffres sont incomplets)

PS: n'allez pas aux USA

2025 was ICE’s deadliest year in two decades. Here are the 32 people who died in custody
The deaths came as the Trump administration ramped up immigration enforcement, detaining a record number of people

I know it’s probably deeply annoying to see Americans go “holy shit, the nakedness of this” after our history of indigenous genocide and global regime change, but what is especially scary about this is that the more recent bullshit alibis at least took some time to drum up and put into place.
Trump: "We're going to have our very large United States oil companies go in, spend billions of dollars, fix the badly broken infrastructure and start making money for the country. And we are ready to stage a second and much larger attack if we need to do so."

hey remember when a bunch of middle-aged drunk korean lawmakers climbed the locked gates to the national assembly to hold an emergency session after the president gave illegal orders to the military, all of which ended with said president being sentenced to prison

J’ai écrit une petite vidéo assez personnelle sur les espaces virtuels et les souvenirs que je me permets de poster ici. 🙇‍♀️😵‍💫 C’est un peu décousu mais ça fait longtemps que je voulais explorer ce sujet
(Attention contenus un peu explicites et difficiles)

En cette fin d'année, j'ai sélectionné pour @mediapart.fr 3 jeux bouleversants dont on aurait dû parler beaucoup plus cette année.

Oh and the peow2 edition is wonderful, and really does it justice
It's already one of my favorite book ❤️

I read aGoS last week, and really enjoyed it a lot
It is so unique and beautiful, I was ready to just enjoy it for the quality of your drawings and for the vibes alone, yet I found the different characters and the worldbuilding super interesting, I am really looking forward for what's next to come !

3h d'un docu passionnant, pour qui aura le courage de plonger dans cette vidéo entre traditions, modernité, contemplations nostalgiques, mafia chinoise, jeux simulationnistes allemands, daubes infâmes et trouvailles géniales
Internet ne pouvait pas se passer beaucoup plus longtemps d’un iceberg des jeux de pêche. Tout le monde le savait, mais personne n’osait s'y risquer ! Bref, on a pris une décision.

Bien des mois plus tard, voici le Monstre: notre vidéo la plus chill ET la plus inconcevable.

I say this with zero irony: if you are even tangentially a part of a retro video game community, it is your civic duty to push back against this company and shun anyone who doesn't. This is fascism tapping gently at the door and as soon as you let it in, it's going to invite its friends.

consider my feedback: i loved working at @larianstudios.com until AI. reconsider and change your direction, like, yesterday. show your employees some respect. they are world-class & do not need AI assistance to come up with amazing ideas.

I've been pretty deep into this approach for a long time now, and I think AI just solidified it even more

it's definitely bad for productivity, but I think we've all been overvaluing productivity for a long time, in neglect of humanity and intentionality

Yesterday, the Epic Games Store decided at the last minute not to distribute the game, after having previously approved a release build. HORSES is otherwise now available on GOG, Itch, and Humble for $4.99. www.horses.wtf
