it's so weird how the vanguard of fascism is freedom of speech regarding Palestine, trans rights, and immigration, all things that the left has been screaming at the Democrats to take a better stand on and the Dems declined.
a fun thing I remember sometimes is the guy who made Abolish ICE his whole schtick in the first Trump admin became a lobbyist for crypto scammers

It is a well-known fact that women aren't interested in historical wargaming, and we only paint fairies and unicorns and princesses.
As proof, behold these four completely blank images that do not feature historical miniatures I have painted.
Fellow femmes, share your own!

This is not who we are. I became an ICE agent because I truly believed in the value of getting a $50,000 signing bonus to violently assault and terrorize anyone I wanted while never getting in trouble for anything. Being held accountable conflicts strongly with my deeply-held personal beliefs

Do any large gaming or tech news sites still exist that would be interested in a pitch a 4000-ish word article telling the story of how Orson Scott Card got involved with Shadow Complex and why Donald Mustard wanted to convince people Card created it?

I absolutely think we should take the bait.
Governor Walz says he's prepared to deploy the Minnesota National Guard if protests become violent in reaction to ICE fatally shooting a woman in Minneapolis.
"We will not take the bait," adds Walz, saying he's also angry but demonstrations should remain lawful.

"dell is not pushing AI" story is bollocks
i went looking for anything other than that PCGamer selective quoting, and everything else Kevin Terwilliger said at CES is AI, AI, AI
even the quotes are in the context of Dell pushing local AI really hard and pushing the suitability of their PCs for AI
