A ship filled with 3160 ChiComm made cars - including 65 EV and 600 Hybrids is burning in the pacific Ocean - fire started in the EV section.
This is the 3rd ship that caught fire because of EV battery failures.
Fire suppression system didn't stop the fire.
Even better: the ship is carrying 350 metric tons of fuel oil and 1500 metric tons of gas.
Crew has abandoned ship.
EV's are dangerous because when the battery goes - there's very little that can be done except watch the fireworks as the Lithium Ion battery goes into thermal-runaway. Not so green.

I just concluded a very good phone call with President Xi, of China, discussing some of the intricacies of our recently made, and agreed to, Trade Deal. The call lasted approximately one and a half hours, and resulted in a very positive conclusion for both Countries. There should no longer be any questions respecting the complexity of Rare Earth products. Our respective teams will be meeting shortly at a location to be determined. We will be represented by Secretary of the Treasury Scott Bessent, Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick, and United States Trade Representative, Ambassador Jamieson Greer. During the conversation, President Xi graciously invited the First Lady and me to visit China, and I reciprocated. As Presidents of two Great Nations, this is something that we both look forward to doing. The conversation was focused almost entirely on TRADE. Nothing was discussed concerning Russia/Ukraine, or Iran. We will inform the Media as to scheduling and location of the soon to be meeting. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

1/2 A brain implant just let a paralyzed man walk again โ with no body movement required. At Lausanne University Hospital in Switzerland, a man who had been paralyzed from the waist down for over a decade just took steps again โ not with exoskeletons or braces, but by using a digital bridge between his brain and spinal cord. Neurosurgeons implanted two wireless devices: one on his motor cortex (inside his skull) and one on his spinal cord.
2/3 These implants decode the manโs intention to walk and send signals directly to the lower spine, bypassing the damaged area completely. No cables. No external assistance. With a few weeks of training, the man could walk across a room, climb stairs, and even navigate uneven ground. His movements were not robotic or jerky โ they were fluid, responsive, and conscious. This is the first time a full digital bypass of a spinal injury has resulted in real-world, self-initiated walking.
3/3 The system uses machine learning to decode brain signals in real-time and adapts over time to match the patient's movement goals. It's not just a tool โ it's an extension of the nervous system. And as incredible as it sounds, the manโs original spinal cord function began showing signs of natural reconnection after several weeks, suggesting that stimulation may promote healing too. Neurotechnology has reached a point where thought alone can resurrect motion โ even after years of silence.

"The essential characteristic of Western civilization that distinguishes it from the arrested and petrified civilizations of the East was and is its concern for freedom from the state. The history of the West, from the age of the Greek polis down to the present-day resistance to socialism, is essentially the history of the fight for liberty against the encroachments of the officeholders."
-- Ludwig Von Mises (1881-1973) Economist and social philosopher

So this is a thing that is VERY VERY much nowhere near done yet, but I want to share what I've got so far. It's a list of as many retro games as I can find which had a trans person on the dev team or otherwise involved in some way, along with a quick summary of who and what they did. It's partially an attempt to counter the narrative that trans people are some New Thing that's only just showed up on the gameing scene and also society in general, which sometimes these kinds of lists can accidentally imply, and also it's just kind of a fun bit of HEY LOOK AT ALL THIS COOL SHIT TRANS PEOPLE DID. I've found over 170 games so far, with quite a lot I'm still to properly go off on.
(Edit: That's over 300 (!) games now. Thank you SO much people who've pointed me at stuff I've missed. I'll be working on trying to play all of these and write up stuff about the ones I haven't really said anything about yet.)
Thank you so much everyone sharing and providing feedback on this. I'm aiming to flesh out a bunch of the games I've not said much about yet over the coming days. I've got some really fun ones to add as well from stuff people have shown me since last night and all.
I'm hoping this'll be a good resource for people when it's done ๐
I've added a few more games based on stuff peeps have mentioned to me. There's some Guitar Hero on there now, and Club Penguin, and another Sonic, and some more Pokemon games.
It's a good idea but maybe ask them If they want to be on the list, idk. The list will eventually end up in the hands of these "anti woke" assholes and they tend to doxx and harass devs for being trans. So being on the list might not be something everyone wants.
dang you really gotta play m.u.l.e.! way ahead of its time like much of berryโs work.
thereโve been a couple of attempts at remaking it over the years, i feel like it could actually work if it was a team of trans folks giving it the love it deserves lol
I see Maddie Blaustein is on The List for Pokรฉmon Channel's Meowth. Awesome. Can I also add;
Pokรฉmon Snap, where she voiced Meowth again. (Albeit a wild one this time)
Pokรฉmon Puzzle League (Panel De Pon dressed up as the Pokรฉmon anime) where she reprised several roles from the cartoon including Team Rocket's Meowth once again, Sabrina's Alakazam, and Lieutenant Surge.
And perhaps her greatest role on the N64, Pokรฉmon Stadium - in which she specifically voices Magikarp yelling "KAAAARRP!" in the Magikarp's Splash minigame.
sorry if this has been shared with you before, but you can add all the games mentioned in this interview (virtual lab, lady sword, quiz toukou shashin, chiki chiki tengoku, armored metal police jack) badgamehalloffame.com/intervieโฆ
An interview with the elusive Megu-tan -- the developer of Virtual Lab! We discuss their brief time in the games industry, the circumstances of their game's troubled development, and the endless wonders of virtual reality.
Just based on statistics, and the amount of Trans people working in tech in general, I'm willing to bet every single game made by any team counting more than ten people had at least one Trans person working on it at some point...

holy SHIT, how did i not know that Jumper was made by Maddy Thorson???? I played Jumper ENDLESSLY as a kid. It was a source of major inspiration for me when I was a 12 year old making games on Game Maker
Oh wow, this reminds me that I actually knew one of the people on this list when I was a kid. We both frequented the same online forum. I suspected she was trans because I ran across her deadname, but she made it clear she did not want to talk about that, so I dropped the subject. People didn't talk about such things back then. She had no way to know I'd be accepting about that (and I had no way to know part of that was because I'm nb.)
Heya! I have another one you might want to include on that! I worked on Champions Online, which launched in 2009.
The only wrinkle there is that I wasn't out of the closet back when we first shipped the game, but I did end up working on it more years after starting transition, and my name's even been updated in the credits!
Thanks for making the list!!! This is awesome!
Also, if it were inclusive to games in 2010, I'd have to mention Star Trek Online, too (same deal).
Depends on how vague you want "involved in some way" to get, but given Sophie Wilson was basically responsible for the original ARM chips, I could argue nearly every mobile game, at least, wouldn't exist but for her.. ๐
Oh, would you look at that? It almost lifts the spirit, but not quite.

Despite US tariffs, China's total goods imports and exports reached 14.14 trillion yuan in the first four months, with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations remaining China's biggest trading partner.
Despite the hefty tariffs that Washington slapped against Beijing, China's total goods imports and exports climbed 2.4 percent year-on-year to 14.14 trillion yuan ($1.95 trillion) in the first four months of the year, customs data showed on Friday.
