Rusty Lake returns with another deliciously macabre adventure, and if you've slept on the overlooked series you're missing out
If you've been reading Eurogamer for any length of time there's a good chance you've already seen me harp on about the shamefully overlooked Rusty Lake series. It's a wonderfully macabre thing; strange, haunting, often unexpectedly disturbing, but also brilliantly accessible, and cheap as chips too. ...

I never heard of BredOS before but since all the "official" images for Orange Pi 5 Ultra were so flaky, I tried it out. It works insanely well by comparison. Its based on Arch btw.
After answering the installer questions it took probably less than 30 seconds to install. And unlike all the other distros it still worked after updating the packages, the graphics driver works properly, and bonus points for not having pipewire or "orange-hello" chewing up 20-100% of cpu cycles in the background 🙂

Just to give everyone's heads up. ATM on the story mode, I'm at Ep 2 chapter 2. So far the story itself it's pretty good. Really enjoyed the characters, especially this retarded individual Aru that I like lmao.
chapter 3 is my favorite though they kill the hype at the very end when they hit you with a 4th wall break (pull out your credit card sensei) its a hard boss fight and you need level 55 to beat it i think (it uses your own students from the gacha side of the game) though you can cheese it at lvl 40 like i had to do
😡 😡 😡 So, just take it up the ass and let the animals have your hard-earned stuff: thepostmillennial.com/ex-space… A former US Space Force sergeant has been sentenced to more than five decades in prison for fatally shooting a 14-year-old boy and wounding another teen during a botched carjacking outside his Colorado home.
According to CBS News Colorado, Orest Schur, 29, confronted two teenagers dressed in black who were attempting to break into his Hyundai Elantra outside his Aurora home in 2023. Prosecutors said Schur, then 27, retrieved a pistol and chased the suspects after they fled in another vehicle.
As he chased them, Schur fired 11 rounds, striking both teens, and their getaway car crashed into a backyard fence four blocks away from Schur’s home. Fourteen-year-old Xavier Kirk was shot in the head and back and died at a hospital [the wurl is a bettah place]. His 13-year-old accomplice, who was driving the car, was shot in the back but survived after reaching a relative’s home and was taken to a hospital. Investigators found no evidence that either teen was armed.
Schur was arrested and charged with first-degree murder and attempted murder. He was convicted in June of second-degree murder and second-degree attempted murder and faced a maximum sentence of 80 years in jail.
Last week, Judge Caryn Datz sentenced him to 54 years in prison. “This was vigilante violence at its worst, and now a young man is dead,” said Adams and Broomfield Counties District Attorney Brian Mason.

Globalisation is built upon money laundering and theft ! Who would have tought !
The continued globalization of finances has generated an ever-larger array of methods for making criminal earnings appear legitimate. The global regime to control money laundering has become more sophisticated and comprehensive, (i.e., expensive and intrusive). There is no evidence that money laundering is declining or becoming more difficult or expensive. The system’s failure has many sources. Nations which pushed for its creation and development have been unwilling to implement critical elements. Major banks have repeatedly failed to meet their obligations, suggesting either insufficient commitment or a lack of the necessary skills and systems to comply. Regulatory oversight has been inadequate. There is, however, evidence that the system aids enforcement of laws against criminal enterprises. Despite the consensus that the system works poorly, there is almost no discussion of substantial reforms.
I want liberals to understand that the days when they could shame or bully people into voting for their bad political party's bad candidates have passed into the dust of history.
I will never cast a vote for someone I deem morally unfit for office. I will never cast a vote for someone who displays cruelty, no matter how expedient that cruelty may be. I will never cast a vote for a quisling who acts like fascism doesn't exist, or a collaborator who acts like fascism doesn't seem so bad.

Israel called up an additional 60,000 reservists yesterday after approving a military offensive to capture and occupy Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold where hundreds of thousands of people are sheltering. The operation could begin within days; army reservists were instructed to report next month. The announcement comes as Israel considers a ceasefire proposal from Qatar and Egypt that would see a 60-day truce and the release of around half of the 50 remaining hostages in Gaza, 20 still alive.

"[I]f we won’t choose to pay the price of liberty, then by default we shall suffer the cost of servitude -- whether it be the iron chains of a tyrannical oligarchy or the regulatory chains of unelected, faceless bureaucrats. When we witness our neighbors abused by tyrants, will we skulk away and hope we’re not next? Or will we stand by them and challenge -- as freedom-loving Americans -- the tyranny of lawless leaders." -- Phil Trieb Source: The New American, p. 39 April 29, 1996
Find a small to medium sized business and ask for their boxes. In NC, ABC stores have a designated free box pile - the boxes for glass bottles are super strong and a great size. Plus the dividers are already there for packing glasses.
Also check craigslist and NextDoor.
You'll want to start collecting about a month before the move, but you can get more than enough boxes without paying a dime.
Liquor stores are the #1 place to get boxes, and also check your local UHaul as they have a spot where people drop off used moving boxes and you can take them free of charge.
A lot of dollar stores will let you grab a stack off their flattened box cart. They usually pay for someone to haul them, so giving away boxes saves them a buck or two. The problem is that a lot of the boxes are very thin cardboard and not sturdy at all. But good for putting things in a small box to put in a larger box, like food items.
BTW, the best day for boxes from the liquor store is Monday, after the weekend restock.

As Saint George is the shared patron saint between England and Palestine, I wonder if in the future such displays of the St George's Cross will be viewed as dimly as authorities seem to view waving the flag of Palestine? #GazaGenocide #Palestine #England
9 Aralık 1987'de, Gazze'deki Jabaliya mülteci kampında dört Filistinli işçinin İsrail işgal ordusuna ait bir kamyon tarafından öldürülmesiyle ilk intifada başladı. Bu halk ayaklanması Siyonist devlet tarafından acımasız bir baskıyla karşılandı: yüz binlerce Filistinli, işgalci güçler tarafından gözaltına alındı ve hapsedildi, 120.000'den fazla kişi yaralandı ve yüzlercesi öldü.
Ancak Palestine Vaincra kolektifinin de işaret ettiği gibi, "İntifada vizyonu asla yenilmedi, ortadan kaldırılmadı ya da bastırılmadı. On yıllardır olduğu gibi, birbirini izleyen ayaklanmalarda yaşamaya devam ediyor. Filistin'de, mülteci kamplarında, sürgünde ve diasporada, dünyanın her şehrinde ve Filistin bayrağının devrimci umudun bir feneri, bir ilham kaynağı ve özgür bir gelecek için bir vizyon olmaya devam ettiği her adalet mücadelesinde".
Gilles Deleuze'ün Haziran 1988 tarihli bu metni; İsrail ve Batılı müttefikleri tarafından örgütlenen, Filistin halkının tarihsel inkârı ile o dönemde meydana gelen ayaklanmayı bir perspektife oturtmaktadır.
Avrupa'nın Yahudilere olan sonsuz borcu ödenmeye başlanmadı ama bu borç masum bir halka, Filistinlilere ödettirildi.
Siyonistler İsrail Devleti'ni yakın geçmişte yaşadıkları eziyetler, Avrupa'nın unutulmaz dehşeti ve aynı zamanda bu diğer halkın acıları üzerine, bu diğer halkın taşlarıyla inşa ettiler. Irgun sadece İngiliz karargahlarını havaya uçurdukları için değil, köyleri yakıp yıktıkları ve halkları yok ettikleri için terörist bir grup olarak adlandırıldı.
Amerikalılar bunu büyük masraflar yaparak Hollywood’un gişe rekorları kıran filmlerine dönüştürdüler. İsrail Devleti, kadim İbrani halkını uzun zamandır bekleyen boş topraklar üzerinde kurulacaktı; başka yerlerden gelen birkaç Arap da hayalet olarak uyuyan taşların bekçiliğini yapacaktı. Filistinliler unutulmaya mahkum edildi. İsrail Devleti'ni hukuken tanımaya çağrıldılar, ancak İsrailliler bir Filistin halkının varlığını inkar etmeye devam ettiler.
Başından beri, henüz bitmemiş bir savaşta, kendi topraklarını, kendi taşlarını ve kendi hayatını savunmak için tek başına savaştı: bahsedilmeyen o ilk savaş, insanları Filistinlilerin başka bir yerden gelen ve oraya geri dönebilecek Araplar olduğuna inandırmak için çok önemlidir. Bütün bu Ürdün'ü kim çözecek? Bir Filistinli ile başka bir Arap arasındaki bağın güçlü olabileceğini ama iki Avrupa ülkesi arasındaki bağdan daha fazla olmadığını kim söyleyecek? Ve hangi Filistinli, İsrailliler kadar diğer Arapların da kendisine yaptıklarını unutabilir? Bu yeni borcun özü nedir? Topraklarından sürülen Filistinliler, en azından onu tekrar görebilecekleri bir yere yerleştiler ve bu vizyonu halüsinasyon gören varlıklarıyla son bir temas olarak sakladılar. İsrailliler onları asla yeterince geriye itemedi, gecenin içine, unutulmaya sürükleyemedi.
Köyler yıkıldı, evler havaya uçuruldu, insanlar tahliye edildi ve öldürüldü ve daha fazla masum insanın sırtında korkunç bir hikaye yeniden başladı. İsrail gizli servislerinin tüm dünyada hayranlık uyandırdığı söylenir. Ancak siyaseti gizli servislerinin çalışmalarıyla bu kadar yakından bağlantılı olan bir demokrasi nedir? Ebu Cihad'ın öldürülmesinin ardından İsrailli bir yetkili “Bütün bu insanlara Ebu deniyor” dedi. Bütün bu insanlara Lévy deniyor... diyenlerin iğrenç sesini hatırlıyor mu?
İsrail ilhak edilmiş topraklardan, işgal edilmiş topraklardan, yerleşimcilerden, kolonilerden ve çılgın hahamlardan nasıl kurtulacak?
İşgal, sonsuz işgal: atılan taşlar içeriden geliyor, Filistin halkından geliyor ve bize dünyanın bir yerinde, ne kadar küçük olursa olsun, borcun tersine döndüğünü hatırlatıyor. Filistinlilerin attığı taşlar kendi taşları, ülkelerinin yaşayan taşlarıdır.
Hiç kimse günde bir, iki, üç, yedi, on kez cinayet işleyerek ya da üçüncü taraflarla anlaşarak borcunu ödeyemez. Filistinliler İsrail'in ruhuna girmişler, o ruhu her gün yoklayan ve delen bir şey gibi işliyorlar.

*The Weight* is Mellia Mendes's award-winning webcomic, now collected in a massive, beautifully made graphic novel from Drawn & Quarterly. It will tear your heart out, it will send you to a dreamy world of pastoral utopianism, then it will tear your heart out. Again:
If you'd like an essay-formatted version of this thread to read or share, here's a link to it on pluralistic.net, my surveillance-free, ad-free, tracker-free blog:
In a rural midcentury Pennsylvania farmhouse, a young woman named Marian is going into labor. Her mother is by her side, her father goes outside to find Marian's husband, Ray, who is outside, bitterly smoking a cigarette. Marian's mother tells Ray he's about to become a father. Ray snaps, "Can't I just finish my fucking cigarette?"
In just a few pages of economical storytelling, illustrated with simple ink-washes, Mendes sets in motion a story of cyclic abuse, unconditional love, redemption, and tragedy. "Economical" is a strange word to apply to Mendes's book, which is a fat 574 pages long.
(The book is a beautiful artifact, on thick paper that drinks the ink-wash illustrations and renders them in lush, mysterious gradients; the cover stock, embossing, and other features are all gorgeous, thoughtful and understated - this is a joy to hold.)
But the storytelling *is* economical, light on dialog, with panels that flow smoothly from one to the next, conveying a dynamic gestalt at the page level, and nuance in each panel.
This economy of storytelling - including some brilliantly handled jumps in the action that leap several years at the turn of a page - makes the book fly by, such that I read it all (really it feels like I *drank* it all) in one sitting. You can read the first 17 pages at Drawn and Quarterly's website:
Marian and Ray end up on a military base where Marian works at the PX. Edie, the baby that was born in that opening scene, grows up in the shadow of vicious, relentless physical abuse, as Ray beats and torments Marian. Naturally, Edie spends a lot of time with her friends - and away from home - and we see how the rage within her ruptures under stress, sometimes hurting her, sometimes the children around her, and sometimes both.
But these scenes also paint a picture of tender, wild camaraderie, the uncomplicated and pure friendship of children, thoughtlessly intense. We see how Edie is both rooted in this place, and also anchored there, unable to imagine life away from these kids.
So when Marian finally leaves Ray, fearing for her life and Edie's, we feel Edie's pain at leaving - and then her heartbreak as her mother leaps off the train they are escaping on to intercept Ray and keep Edie safe.
Edie makes her way to the grandparents who haven't seen her since the day of her birth, and the second act begins.
This act is a long, beautiful coming of age story, as Edie heals, nurtured in the bosom of her loving, good grandparents; the bucolic life on the farm; the friends she surrounds herself with. Mendes gives us generous - but never drawn out - peeks into Edie's life as she matures from a child, to a teen, to a young woman.
The third act begins with Edie at 17, pregant by the boy next door, deciding to marry him and move out of state with him to a place where a relative can give them jobs and a trailer to live in and start their family.
And before long, the cycle of abuse has begun again.
*The Weight* is a ferocious read, the sweetness of the highs there to provide texture for the bitterness of the lows. Like a strip of white paper bisecting a sheet of black, the juxtaposition of the idyllic second act with the brutality of the beginning and end makes all three acts impossibly vivid.
