Lefty Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass was among those to help fuel an alleged hoax that claimed ICE had kidnapped an illegal immigrant mom and then tried to force her to self-deport.

Bass spread the claims in a newly resurfaced social media post — just weeks before the migrant, Yuriana Julia “Juli” Pelaez Calderon, was accused of staging the abduction as part of an elaborate scam.

@arrrg I can see what you mean about the ratio, but the focus should be on actions being terrible, rather than who they’re done to. It doesn’t save anyone there to add victims anywhere else.

I’m sure you know this and I wouldn’t even speak to it, except there is a thread of thought rn among mostly young folks that if “we” (really, the more-vulnerable closer to home) just suffer enough from our own rulers, we’ll finally be moved to stop them, and it smells like accelerationism.

However, within an hour of her television appearance, Pelosi’s stance shifted completely.

She took to social media platform X to demand action on the Epstein case.”

‫DOGWALK؛ یه ماجراجویی بامزه توی جنگل‌های کاغذی


 بررسی بازی جدید و دوست‌داشتنی استودیوی بلندر

dogwalk

بازی DOGWALK، آخرین پروژهٔ استودیوی بلندر، یه بازی ایندی مستقل و خوش‌ساخته که همین چند روز پیش در ۱۱ جولای ۲۰۲۵ برای کامپیوتر منتشر شده. توی این بازی نقش Chocomel، یه سگ بزرگ و ماجراجو رو به عهده دارین که به یه کودک بانمک به نام Pinda کمک می‌کنه تا یه سری تزئینات برای آدم‌برفیشون پیدا کنن! DOGWALK چیزی فراتر از یه بازیه؛ یه نمایش هنری جذاب از توانایی‌های نرم‌افزار بلندر و موتور بازی‌سازی گودوته.

جهانی با طراحی بصری متفاوت


اولین چیزی که ممکنه توجهتون رو جلب کنه، سبک بصری دل‌نشینشه. دنیای بازی به صورت یه دیورامای کاغذی دست‌ساز پردازش شده که با جزئیات چشمگیری طراحیش کردن. درخت‌ها برگ‌های کاغذی دارن، بوته‌ها زیر پا تا می‌شن، تابلوهای کوچیکی که مسیرو بهت نشون می‌دن و پل‌هایی که از روی رودخونه‌ها ردت می‌کنن؛ قشنگ حس‌وحال تکه‌ای از صحنه‌های یه کارتون استاپ‌موشنو منتقل می‌کنه! (:

dw1

گیم‌پلی و مکانیک بازی: تجربه‌ای منحصربه‌فرد


تو این بازی در نقش یه سگ بزرگ و دوست‌داشتنی قرار می‌گیرین که همراه انسان خودشو راهنمایی می‌کنه. قلاده‌ای که این دو شخصیتو به هم وصل می‌کنه، هسته گیم‌پلی بازیو تشکیل می‌ده که روی ناوبری تأثیر می‌ذاره و موقعیت‌های خنده‌دار و بامزه‌ای رقم می‌زنه. مثلاً می‌تونین به‌تندی حرکت کنین و Pinda رو مجبور به دویدن کنین که خسته‌ش می‌کنه، پس باید مکث کنین و با لیس زدنش دل‌داریش بدین و دوباره سر حالش بیارین!

تمرکز بازی روی اکشتاف و لذت بردن از گشت‌گذاره تا به چالش کشیدن بازیکن. بازی کردن DOGWALK چیزی بین یه ربع تا ۲۰ دقیقه طول می‌کشه که خب باتوجه به تمایل بازیکن به گردش می‌تونه متفاوت باشه! طراحی بازی به طور ظریفی کنجکاویو تشویق می‌کنه و با ارائه مناظر و تجربه‌های جدید، بهتون برای اکتشاف بیشتر پاداش می‌ده.

سخن آخر


بازی DOGWALK یه تجربهٔ دل‌پذیر و دوست‌داشتنی و یه ماجراجویی به‌یادموندنیه، گواهی بر استعداد و خلاقیت استودیوی بلندر. این بازی کم‌حجم و کوتاه رو می‌تونین از فروشگاه استیم به رایگان دریافت کنین. با لینوکس هم سازگاری کامل داره و به‌صورت Native اجرا می‌شه!

We got cited for a code violation based on drone photos. They claimed that our toolshed was over the size limit, on the assumption that its footprint was the same dimensions as its roof, because evidently they do not understand how roofs work.

It took us months of phone calls and paperwork before they finally sent an inspector out. He took one look at our toolshed and said "Really? They sent me out here for THIS?"

I have to ask this but you are doing this for years while the amount of dystopian news are going through the roof.

How do you not despair?

And what are we planning to do against this? As you probably know, tech is not the only way that governments around the world are cracking down. Police is getting more militarized, car checkpoints are becoming more regular.

What are we going to do about it?

Silicon Valley’s alliance with Donald Trump was a mask off moment and showed the world we can’t depend on US tech companies.

For the past few months, I’ve been trying to get off US tech and I put together a guide so you find alternatives too. I hope you find it helpful!
