You can say ICE is being used as a political cudgel to demolish democracy, or you can recognize that’s all they ever have been since their inception.
Attorney General Catherine Hanaway (R) publicly announced she has referred the state’s grassroots referendum campaign to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE), claiming without evidence that canvassers are “employing illegal aliens” to collect signatures to overturn the mid-decade redraw.

I have felt for quite a while that at least a part of anti-migrant, anti-refugee behaviour from successive governments is pulling the drawbridge up ahead of an increase in climate-caused refugee movement.
And you know what? It's not gonna save us, lads

One of the producers on Guilty Gear Strive said it was basically impossible to source player feedback on balance changes online because nobody had original opinions and would just parrot what the most popular content creators said and so they had to rely on data and I think about that every day.

People talk about eugenics being morally wrong and we're right to do so but a thing I think gets overlooked is eugenics is also unscientific - genes simply don't work the way eugenicists think. Even if eugenics was morally good it still wouldn't work, and even if it worked it would still be wrong.

In The Labyrinth of Time, entering the Ziggurat without a lantern is supposed to show a black screen. However, the developers put in the wrong filename for the black screen, so it fails to render, showing a black screen instead

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

You can see the shift in movies as well. Silent films commonly called out police torture and corruption. Dirty cops were all over mainstream classic Hollywood releases.
I haven’t done a formal tally but “one bad apple” and “the crooks get off if I play by the rules” took over by the 1970s-1980s.

Fun fact: this is explicitly why Dick Wolf created Law & Order: he violently hates defense attorneys and felt tere weren't enough shows about how defendants and their lawyers are scum
(also when somebody "gets off on a technicality" that actually means the cops committed a crime against them)

I know this makes me like a terminal bummer or whatever but there is still an Xbox boycott under BDS. The Gaza genocide might not be as in your face as it was a year or even six months ago but shit ain’t over. Israel/the US just put forward an ethnic cleansing proposal masquerading as a peace plan.

In one of the final filmed shots of The Terminator, James Cameron wanted to explode a car, but was absolutely refused any further extension to the movie’s budget.
He solved the problem by blowing up his own car.
