The justice system failed in the Georgia election fraud case. Highly paid lawyering defeated the facts. We know Trump asked a Georgia official to "find 11,780 votes." We know it was an obvious attempt to steal an election. We know Trump is a traitor. Nothing will erase the truth.
ATLANTA (AP) — New prosecutor dismisses charges against President Donald Trump and others in Georgia election interference case.

happy to see that the “Talking Tree” at a local shoe store in my hometown is a Pokéstop - generations of children have been traumatized by it speaking to you by name as you leave

Laughing at Donald Trump saying he'd definitely feel comfortable living in Zohran Mamdani's New York on the same day that half the consultant brain-poisoned Democratic party voted to condemn socialism

i'd say i expect this to be the case with la and las vegas in what's left of my lifetime but that implies anybody in charge here would rather do this instead of just abandoning everyone there to their fates while otherwise pretending everything was fine

A company is reportedly withdrawing its $99 AI teddy bear from the market after researchers found it told a tester where to get knives, pills and matches when asked.

It also spoke graphically about sex positions and sexual kinks.
AI toys can cajole kids or be made to discuss sex, watchdog groups warn

It's Nov 22nd in Japan which means it's the 30th anniversary of Namco Museum Vol. 1

These days thanks to Hamster & Namco, we also have home ports of games like Aqua Jet & Tokyo Wars which didn't even exist in arcades when Vol.1 released

Every era is a Namco era

A Trump supporter started murdering his way through an assassination list of Democratic law makers FIVE MONTHS AGO. He murdered my colleague Melissa Hortman, and her husband Mark — and attempted to assassinate my dear friend John Hoffman and his wife Yvette. I was also on the hit list. WTF
