“With Immigration and Customs Enforcement now poised to become a surveillance-and-detention combine on the scale of the East German Stasi, it has acquired the standard operating procedure of an authoritarian police state.”

Haidar Eid’s "Banging on the Walls of the Tank" reveals a disturbing but irrefutable reality: the world has abandoned the Palestinian people to be annihilated as a people in the most calculated and brutal fashion possible.

Chicago Anarcho-Feminists (1971): "The intelligence of womankind has at last been brought to bear on such oppressive male inventions as the church and the legal family; it must now be brought to reevaluate the ultimate stronghold of male domination, the State. . .

We believe that a Woman’s Revolutionary Movement must not mimic, but destroy, all vestiges of the male-dominated power structure, the State itself—with its whole ancient and dismal apparatus of jails, armies, and armed robbery (taxation); "with all its murder; with all of its grotesque and repressive legislation and military attempts, internal and external, to interfere with people’s private lives and freely-chosen cooperative ventures."

Sur le fond (enfin ce qu’on peut en comprendre en lisant ce charabia) je suis tout à fait d’accord.
Mais je suis effrayé à l’idée que ce garçon sorte de l’école normale supérieure et soit bardé de diplômes.
Nombre de ses phrase sont fautives, incompréhensibles. Il ne maîtrise pas le vocabulaire, la syntaxe, c’est catastrophique et effrayant de penser que ce qu’il y a peut-être de meilleur chez nous ne domine plus sa langue.
Et ce n’est pas une remarque anodine et sans importance, c’est un signe très inquiétant dont Juan Branco n’est pas responsable, mais qui marque un tournant, une perte peut-être irrémédiable, qui touche même pour les meilleurs.
Son style est ampoulé, et la langue n’est pas dominée, et cela nuit à son discours.

Ultimately what worries me the most is that the majority of bitcoiners haven't been truly tested. How you behaved during COVID is a fairly good indicator as to how far you are willing to go. In the war that comes, and it is ahead of us, you will be cut off completely and our own systems will have to stand alone. We will have to build the circular economy and the threat of violence will be thick in the air. The uncertainty will return and sadly a hard fork will also attempt to tear us apart. There is a journey ahead of us to be sure.

I've heard that a publisher usually isn't worth it unless the publisher has an active fanbase for a particular style of game that your game fits.

it's also possible to hire PR people, and then that way you're able to get more PR while still retaining full control and rights etc over your game, I can't say whether it's worthwhile or anything though because I've never been able to afford that.

'We're Not the Same People Anymore': IDF Soldiers Reveal What No Israeli Wants to Hear About Months of Fighting in Gaza

Sent into #Gaza straight from high school, five young #Israel conscripts describe the brutal, exhausting reality of the war with #Hamas – a world of despair, rage and crippling fear, with no end in sight

from #Haaretz

"Soldiers interviewed are handpicked by commanders and #IDF spokespersons and thoroughly briefed on what they can and cannot say. And so, reporters return with the same clichés: "This is a generation of lions," they declare. "Morale is sky-high."

But active-duty army soldiers who spoke to Haaretz in recent months paint a very different picture...

They describe mounting exhaustion, severe physical and psychological strain, and a constant fear that they'll be the next to have their names released as fallen."
