Dispiriting, deadly and unrevealing – there is a decent documentary to be made about the former model from Slovenia, but this one is unredeemable

The New York Times issued a damning analysis of the video and witness statements of the murder of 37-year-old mother of three Renee Nicole Good by an ICE agent in Minneapolis on Wednesday. The sadistic agents refused to render aid and even drew guns on a doctor preventing him from helping.

Man I kinda feel bad for the E33 team. Imagine creating your first game from scratch, winning the most awards of any game at the event ever, and people are just furious about it online.
Criticize the event itself, sure, but those devs did nothing wrong to deserve that hate. They made a good game

Ah sorry, amid all the wobbegong love I missed this! Wobbegong or goosefish? I don’t know. There are twelve species of wobbegong, and to my great shame I cannot identify all of them. But that thing here below is definitely a wobbegong and wobbegongs remain rad as hell bsky.app/profile/harr...
Further down the original thread, someone says the photo is actually a Goosefish and posts a photo of a Wobbegong. Both look like something out of VOYAGE TO THE BOTTOM OF THE SEA! And at least we can now use the saying, "You can't tell a Wobbegong from a Goosefish!"
