โHelsinki hasnโt registered a single traffic-related fatality in the past yearโฆCiting data that shows the risk of pedestrian fatality is cut in half by reducing a carโs speed from 40 to 30km/hr, city officials imposed the lower limit in most of Helsinkiโs residential areas and city center in 2021.โ

A screenshot of an email from an ad agency to Evil Hat Marketing: Hey Evil Hat team, Promised this is the last time youโll hear from me. We are wrapping up generating content on the house. The AI studio is starting to get fully booked with our paying clients, and I have strict orders to stop promoting this come the weekend. I figured Evil Hat might as well get some work out of us at no cost while you can. Want in before we close it up? Best, [redacted] And then our reply: Hi [redacted], We will never use AI for our games or for our marketing. It's toxic to our customer audience and it's an ethical violation of the hard work put in by the human artists we hire to illustrate our books and the human writers who design our games. In short, it's not "free work" it's theft. Feel free to take me off your mailing list. Hope you turn around your business model because frankly, your current approach sucks shit. -Tom
sometimes you have to be clear about your values
if you've ever honked your horn in anger while driving you're going to hell. if you are wondering why this isn't mentioned in the bible, it's because they didn't have cars back then
So NJ lawmakers wrote a bill to rein in ICE.
And this is what they called it.

It took me months, about 495 rides, recovering from a shattered right foot and hacking a folding scooter, but I finally own a Nintendo Switch 2 using points obtained from Citi Bike. Afterwards, it left me questioning the very nature of work. For @aftermath.site.

Abolish ICE.
Thereโs no reforming it.
Thereโs no compromise.
Thereโs only one way to rein in ICEโs terror campaign. Abolish it.
Tokyo Central celebrated its grand opening and ribbon-cutting on Saturday, Jan. 31. With a warm welcome from the Mayor and city council, it marks an exciting new chapter for Emeryville.

Tokyo central finally opened in Emeryville and itโs so much better than I ever imagined. Packed to the gills with fresh fruits, veggies, and meats. Endless snacks and Asian staples. Mouth watering prepared foods. Best of all everything is very reasonably priced. I feel so lucky to live next door.
Screenshot of an X.com post by The Associated Press (@AP) stating that dozens of immigrant families protested for better treatment behind fences at a Texas detention facility, where a 5-year-old Ecuadorian boy and his father were sent after being detained in Minnesota. Below is a video thumbnail showing a crowd gathered outdoors along a fenced walkway; many people wear bright blue or red outerwear, and some hold signs.
After being held in two of them as a boy, I fought for decades urging America to never again build concentration camps and put human beings in them. It breaks my heart to watch this happen twice now in my own lifetime.
Letโs.
The killing of Alex Pretti is a heartbreaking tragedy. It should also be a wake-up call to every American, regardless of party, that many of our core values as a nation are increasingly under assault.
The deputy White House chief of staff, Stephen Miller, called Pretti a โdomestic terroristโ and an โassassin.โ In fact, Pretti was a registered nurse working in intensive care at a Department of Veterans Affairs hospital.
This is who he really was.
As tens of thousands across America protest the violence that ICE sows with impunity, federal agents shot and killed another person in Minneapolis today.โจโจICE terrorizes our cities. ICE puts us all in danger. Abolish ICE.
Alex Jeffrey Pretti was an ICU nurse at a VA hospital. His life, through his profession, was dedicated to serving his community and our country.
As so many have now seen on video, his final act before he was killed by federal agents was doing everything in his power to protect his community.
WE HAVE MOUNTAINS OF ICE TO MELT
I hope you're right
Last night, I was assaulted by a man at Sundance Festival who told me that Trump was going to deport me before he punched me in the face. He was heard screaming racist remarks as he drunkenly ran off. The individual was arrested and I am okay.

Minnesotaโs justice system will have the last word.
Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti โWe are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the โheroโ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trumpโs murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.
Kare 11 local news just read, in full, this statement from Michael and Susan Pretti, the parents of Alex Pretti.
"Please get the truth out about our son."
Alex Pretti was executed in Minneapolis this morning. Abolishing ICE is the bare minimum that we can do. We need to hold the individual agents and all of their leadership accountable. No government agency can ever have this much power to blatantly disregard the Constitution.

I have so much respect for your ability to form a rational argument and speak with control. I donโt know that guys name but he always resorts to childish gestures and starts yelling at everything you say. Youโre doing good and important work, thank you.
If you think this is just โonline-radicalized protesters,โ youโre not paying attention. People have seen the videos: folks dragged from cars, tear-gassed, kids pulled off the job.
Prosecutors are resigning, cops arenโt being investigated, and somehow the victims get labeled โterrorists.โ
