In Gaza, World Central Kitchen @wck.org is among the last organizations still able to cook meals. The IDF has shut all crossings to shipments, including humanitarian relief. We are now nearing the end of our supplies—and the limits of what’s possible.

Nintendo has cancelled the Switch 2 in response to preorder frenzy.

"Your vulgar appetites betray you," said company president Furukawa, "That you are a people without grace. We will await a new era."

At press time, Nintendo's headquarters in Kyoto and Redmond had vanished from the face of earth.

Dr. Andrew’s recent publication investigated climate-based triggers to fungal fruit body presence, finding 39% of 127 species were sensitive to further
climate warming 🌡️

This generated more questions than answers, which she'll be working on in her role at Kew!

when dem strategists talk about appealing to republicans it should be this, not becoming more republican until some magic percentage of appeasement is reached (which is infinite). it shouldn't be such a fight but damn well treat it like one
Montana is extremely lucky to have Zooey Zephyr and SJ Howell standing up in front of openly transphobic lawmakers who wanted to pass a bill that would /take trans kids away from their parents./

Thank you to them, and to the Republicans who crossed the aisle. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
‘Stop these crazy bills’: Republicans join Democrats to defeat anti-trans legislation in Montana
One bill would remove trans children from their parents, and the other would ban drag shows and Pride marches

to me this reads like the highest-profile case of something that's become more and more common in the last decade or so, which is nerd guys who've worked in a historically male-dominated field gradually having more and more young female coworkers and realizing they have power over them
Last year, I reported that Bungie had fired former exec Chris Barrett for misconduct. Barrett then sued for wrongful termination, which surprised me given that I'd seen his texts to subordinates and figured Bungie could publish them in response.

Which they now have. www.scribd.com/document/830...

One of the first things Hannah Arendt talks about in the Origins of Totalitarianism is how what happened to the Jews during the holocaust could have been any minority & that any system that leans towards totalitarianism needs a minority group to subjugate. It could be you, it could be your neighbor

‼️ The National Park Service has REMOVED mentions of transgender people being involved with Stonewall. Not only did the remove the world "Transgender" but changed "LGBTQ+" to "LGBQ+".

The federal government is attempting to erase us and take away our history.

This pride, we riot.

1. The state department has removed transgender people from its website and just reads "LGB Travelers," as reported by a number of journalists.

However, on further investigation, it is also removing trans-specific directions for individual countries.

State Department Travel Safety Website Changes "LGBTQI+ Travelers" to "LGB Travelers"
The change is an attempt to insert a divide in the LGBTQIA+ community by the Trump administration, and to erase transgender people from any consideration or recognition.
