“If there was ever a case that would justify a verdict like that, it’s this case. You have a 16-year-old kid who is running away from danger, doesn’t know he’s running towards the police, but he’s running toward the police, and there’s a police officer that shoots him in the back. ..all on video.”
Breaking News: San Diego agreed to pay $30 million to the family of Konoa Wilson, a 16-year-old who was shot and killed by the police, in one of the largest settlements of its kind in U.S. history.
San Diego to Pay $30 Million to Family of Konoa Wilson, Teen Killed by Police

It is both funny and deeply sad to read about HORSES now that it has actually released.
I hope Santa Ragione has enough left to try publishing on consoles. There's nothing in the game that would keep it off the Switch. You know, the console for children.

How about we shut down the government for this very popular and specific goal and then, hear me out, we hold out for like a month and a half and then, ok this part is important, after a watershed election where we ran the table, ONLY THEN, fold and don't get the one thing we said we wanted.

So excited to read extraction!! Been following the authors of A Planet To Win since a fun reading group that went over it and think it remains some of the best writing about why a green new deal, or broadly just climate policy that works for people and workers, is the way out of our current crises.
Thrilled to see this review of EXTRACTION by @scottwstern.bsky.social in @theatlantic.com. A very thorough essay that situates the book in broader debates about mining, the energy transition, the history of global capitalism, and the possible green futures ahead www.theatlantic.com/books/2025/1...

Remember when the malls were saying kids couldn't come there without an adult unless they worked there...? Remember that one city that gave all its kids a curfew...? Remember the kids police killed for playing unsupervised...? Or the parents charged with crimes for leaving their kids in parks...?
"Most of the children in our survey said that they aren’t allowed to be out in public at all without an adult. Fewer than half of the 8- and 9-year-olds have gone down a grocery-store aisle alone; more than a quarter aren’t allowed to play unsupervised even in their own front yard."

My goto is to ask LLMs how many states have R in their name. They always fail. GPT 5 included Indiana, Illinois, and Texas in its list. It then asked me if I wanted an alphabetical highlighted map. Sure, why not.

Just word of mouth as of now. And it’s better to be safe than sorry with everything going on.

From the posts that I’ve seen, Google is telling people that they can’t access their personal work, because it violates their terms of service.
