New extortion scam email going round (this was received via a writer's website contact form). I've seen a number of these recently but without the money demand; the translation angle is also a new one

i don't want to minimize any of the kinds of cruelty of this administration, but given the nature of the american justice system versus the american educational system, this harms way more actual trans people than sports bans in a way more immediate and way more dangerous manner
BREAKING: Trump administration plans to end prison rape protections for trans & intersex people, memo says. A DOJ memo says certain standards under the Prison Rape Elimination Act (PREA) do not align with Trump’s Jan. 20 anti-trans executive order, @byadamrhodes.bsky.social reports.

I do think that it is incredibly funny that the scene that everyone who has not played the game considers fraught is actually about the very mechanism that caused the game to be rejected. This is not an ambiguous game. You do not need a degree to understand it. It tells you directly.

📡 According to Ynetnews, Israel's #Eurovision 2026 participation was secured after a "months-long diplomatic campaign that unfolded largely behind the scenes".
A coordinated effort involved KAN executives, government advisers, and Israeli president Isaac Herzog's residence.

i want you to do something. this is important for your health. okay: go to the library and find a book, movie, cd... anything that you've never seen or heard of before. something that grabs you.

This composition had eluded me for nearly a decade, but yesterday I was finally able to capture it. A train rolled through just as the Duquesne Incline was crossing over the tracks in #Pittsburgh, creating a picture perfect winter scene. It was worth the hours and hours I've waited over the years.

I do think if anyone in your life is using Polymarket to bet on the Game Awards, you are going to have to lock them in a freezer for however many months it takes for them to forget they like gambling. That might take a really long time, but if you care, you’ll do the work.

I’m not anti-gambling in totality and even think a basic level of regulated sports gambling isn’t the worst thing in the world. But it’s pretty astounding how quickly the current system careened toward turning every dumbass bet you might casually make with your friends into multimillion dollar pots.
Hi. There has been $38 million worth of activity on the game of the year results on gambling platform Polymarket.

Finished Kingdoms of the Dump today, a retro-inspired RPG that came out on the 18th of November this year. I'm gonna do a full review and write up, because I think this flew under most people's radar, and I NEED more people to play it, cause it's soooooo good. Definite GOTY contender here.

To clarify, there's nothing in this game that wouldn't pass muster in an M-rated film.
There are people spreading malicious rumors about it, claiming that it is more extreme.
It reminds me of Night Trap, supposedly one of the most transgressive games of its age. Reality: Milder than Power Rangers.
