For No Kings Day, I've chosen to walk with the military burial flag of my father-in-law, who was a WWII veteran. I was there as upon this flag, William Edward Stiles Jr. received his final salute: three volleys from the rifles of the honor guard before it was folded and presented to my mother-in-law by two Navy men. Later, at his memorial, I was astonished to discover that a white man of his era had so many Black friends.

You see my father-in-law's fight against injustice did not end when he returned from the second World War. His fight continued in the civil rights movement negotiating for teachers unions in the shadow of Brown v. Board of Education America. Out of prejudice or fear of the Klu Klux Klan, few white people were willing to do what he did because it meant also representing Black teachers unions.

With all the protests going off & discussions of taking a mobile phone or not

There will be some people who will have to take their phone

So for those people is there any way to beef up it's security

So far I've heard of disabling biometric access & putting a "Get a warrant" screensaver/wallpaper on the phone

Is there any way to add a "Duress password" to the lock screen of phones that don't already have it, that bricks the phone if it's entered ?

To the genocide-loving German from mastodon.social who reported @faab64 for being antisemitic:

Fuck you, you genocide-loving piece of shit, opposing genocide isn’t antisemitism. What you’re doing – conflating being anti-genocide with being antisemitic – is the greatest antisemitism as you’re de facto stating that all Jews are pro-genocide.

"Die extremistische Agitation richtete sich aber auch gegen deutsches Regierungshandeln zur Unterstützung Israels sowie gegen die Verbote und Maßnahmen von Versammlungsbehörden und Polizei, welche als unzulässige Repression, Zensur und Unterdrückung legitimer Proteste bezeichnet wurden."

Es scheint der Regierung jedenfalls leichter zu fallen, die halbe Welt als extremistisch zu bezeichnen (und sich so selbst als Opfer darzustellen) als anzuerkennen, was ist.

D’après le magazine Challenges, qui n’est pas un repaire de gauchistes, les 500 plus grandes fortunes sont passées de 200 milliards d’euros à 1 200 milliards entre 2010 et 2025, soit une progression de 500 %.

Valve isn't making their next Steam Deck anytime soon because the technology doesn't exist yet. You can crank up the wattage and put in a bigger battery, but those things make the handheld larger, heavier, and hotter, so they're not interested. This is a bottleneck from AMD and their R&D.

But especially due to live service anti cheat and Game Pass, I agree that there's a potential market for this strategy. There's certainly no way they compete with Sony by doing what consoles have always done.

"...we aren't thinking about new hardware until next year at least" doesn't mean that they aren't working on it now. And they seem to have low confidence that said new hardware will even make it out next year. Yes, we are likely years out from a new Steam Deck, and you shouldn't plan on one being imminent. That's not the same thing as them no longer working on it.

We may never get a Steam Deck 2, and I’m okay with that — here’s why

Yes, I did. I also didn't read between the lines and take that to mean that they're not working on it, investing in it, etc. It just means that we can't predict the future, and what makes sense now might not make sense in a few years when the technology does exist. The Outlook section was the author's conjecture of what could come to pass, but he can't predict the future either.

“We are working on Steam Deck 2,” Aldehayyat chimed in. “There is going to be a successor.”

That was seven months ago, and it's very clear. Successful gaming hardware usually starts prototyping the next one very quickly, even if it's years away. If they didn't, then they'd always lag far behind the latest technology. Valve don't know the year. With tariffs alone, trying to set a release date for a new piece of hardware could be a nightmare.

Egyptian authorities halted demonstrators planning to march to the country’s border with #Gaza with the stated aim of breaking Israel’s blockade on the territory.

A separate convoy of protesters travelling from Tunisia to meet the larger group was also stopped on Friday by security forces in eastern Libya.

Men in plain clothes were seen in footage kicking and beating demonstrators and attempting to drag some away from the group.

I don't think this is the big one.

Philip Bailey anf Phil Collins - Easy Lover

"Easy Lover" by Phil Collins is a captivating blend of pop and rock, showcasing the artist's signature sound. The collaboration with Nathan East and Philip Bailey brings a dynamic energy to the track, making it a timeless classic that resonates with listeners.

Lyrics:
Easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

She's the kind of girl you dream of
Dream of keeping hold of
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
She will play around and leave you
Leave you and deceive you
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it

No, you'll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick, 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see

You're the one that wants to hold her
Hold her and control her
You'd better forget it
You'll never get it
For she'll say that there's no other
'Til she finds another
Better forget it
Oh, you'll regret it

And don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know

Now don't try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You're not the only one, 'cause seeing is believing
It's the only way
You'll ever know

She's an easy lover (she's a easy lover)
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
She's like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it (get a hold on you)
And like no other
Before you know it you'll be on your knees (you'll be down on your knees, yeah, yeah, yeah)
She's an easy lover
She'll take your heart but you won't feel it (you won't feel it)
She's like no other
And I'm just trying to make you see (trying to make you see)

She's an easy lover
She'll get a hold on you, believe it
She's like no other

Miley Cyrus - Easy Lover (Official Video)


"Easy Lover" by Miley Cyrus is an engaging track that explores themes of love and attraction with a catchy melody and vibrant production. The song showcases Miley's vocal prowess and artistic evolution, making it a notable addition to her upcoming album "Something Beautiful." Its relatable lyrics and infectious rhythm are sure to resonate with fans.

Lyrics:
You’re my baby
You’re the only one
You drive me crazy
But I still miss you when you’re gone
Every second, every hour

It’s in your nature
To light me up
I love to hate ya
But I can’t stand it when you’re gone
So I call you once every hour

You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn’t leave ya
But you’re not an easy lover

You’re a wildfire
And I’m in your path
I’ve decided I wanna keep on dancing in the ashes
And so I call out
Let it burn

You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses and I still wouldn’t leave ya
But you’re not an easy lover

No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
But you’re not an easy lover

You got the love I always needed
Tie me to horses
I still wouldn’t leave ya

Tell ’em, B
But you’re not an easy lover

You make it hard to touch another
Anything goes when we’re under covers
But you’re not an easy lover

No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
But you’re not an easy lover
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
No I just can’t give you up
But you’re not an easy lover

The social contract in the United States is broken

The government no longer exists to serve us. Too many greedy shitbags have had their elections bought so they could use their power against the working class.

We no longer need to respect the rule of law. We no longer need to worry about the future of the nation.

Focus on yourself. Focus on those close to you. Stop contributing to the economy as much as you can while still taking everything you can from it.

Vandalism is a great way to fight back with minimal risk to yourselves. It doesn't require organization and can happen spontaneously when the opportunities arise.

Buckle up, we're in for a long ride.

Kool-Aid Man (1983) for the Atari 2600

Ah yes, Kool-Aid Man. On the intro screen, he bursts through a brick wall—and if you're going to make a game about Kool-Aid Man, that's mandatory.

If Kool-Aid Man doesn't crash through something at the start, is it even a Kool-Aid Man game? (No. It’s not.)

Now the goal here is simple: protect the precious Kool-Aid from what I can only describe as sentient bombs with straws. They’re called Thirsties, which sounds like the name of a failed emo band, but whatever. These little creeps try to slurp up all your Kool-Aid—which is weird, because I thought drinking the Kool-Aid was the entire point of Kool-Aid.

Anyway, you’ve got to wait until they actually start drinking before you slam into them. Do it too early and nothing happens. Wait too long and they tap you first, sending you careening across the screen like a sentient bowling ball. Bonus tip: don’t touch the walls either, because apparently the Kool-Aid Man is so full of juice that the slightest touch make him bounce.

People like to blame games like this for the Great Video Game Crash. But I say no way. This game has charm. It's got bounce (literally). It's got bright colors. It’s got Kool-Aid Man yelling "OH YEAH!" like he just snorted a line of Pixy Stix. Okay, he doesn't literally do this, but in my head canon, he does.

Sure, this is advertising. But so was Cool Spot for the SEGA Genesis, and most people agree that game was pretty darn good too. So cut Kool-Aid Man some slack. He may be a glass-bodied corporate shill, but by god, he’s our glass-bodied corporate shill.

Oddly, this was made by Mattel Electronics for their M Network imprint, which they used for systems that weren't published for Intellivision. In this case, Kool-Aid Man was an Atari 2600. And I don't understand why this game wasn't available for Mattel's own console. Was Kool-Aid Man too cool for those dweebs who played Intellivision?

We may never know. But one thing’s for sure: Kool-Aid Man definitely belonged on the Atari.
