The IDF just ordered the *entirety of south Lebanon* to be forcibly displaced.

They are emptying the land of its population, creating a massive crisis, and will now proceed to further annihilate large parts of Lebanon.

The very nation state of Lebanon is being destroyed.

Mine collapse in eastern Congo leaves 200 dead, authorities say. But rebels dispute the number A mine collapse at Congo’s key Rubaya coltan site has killed a number of miners. Officials and rebels sharply dispute the extent of the death toll.

The looting of African resources by outsiders & its tragic consequences for African people is an old story. Gold, diamonds, ivory, rubber... And now coltan, so that we can have fancy phones. apnews.com/article/cong...

I’m so tired of seeing people bash Bluesky for being an echo chamber when X is an actual intentionally constructed echo chamber that is demonstrably radicalizing people across the political spectrum who still use it

Corporate Media Buries Story of US and Israel Killing 168 in Girls School Attack No front-page stories in NYT, WSJ, WaPo. No mention on NBC and CBS Sunday Shows. No stand alone segments on Evening News shows. A death count on par with the OKC bombing is relegated to the back page.

I wrote about how the US and Israel carried out an attack on an Iranian girls school on par with the OKC bombing and US media relegated it to a back page story. No stand alone evening news segments, no front page stories, it made A11 in the NYT then everyone moved on.

Slay the Spire 2's concurrent Steam players just hit 179,456, the highest ever for any roguelike.

When StS1 first launched back in 2017, it had 193 concurrent players.

That's a 92,982% increase, meaning StS3 is on track to hit 166,861,777 concurrent players by 2035. πŸ’ͺ

This looks good as hell.

And a 5/6 release date means you have time to go play THE BANISHED VAULT before it drops!

β€œEllis, a registered nurse who is Haitian-American, said she is outraged and called for an investigation into Damas' death, which she said came weeks after the man first complained of tooth pain to Florence staff.

'Nobody should die from a toothache,’ Ellis said. 'Something has to be done.’”

Intelligame - Twitch Back to Final Fantasy X | GDC Next Week

I'm sure there won't be anything relevant to the current day in this RPG about wars started by people in power with religious overtones under false pretenses and such

nothing at all

Daughter Games and Wife Games are an interesting thing. they always come after, never before, the games centered on the men in a storyβ€”as if they have to ask for permission to exist

that doesn't stop a certain sector of absolute fucking babies from whining about the fact that they exist, period

85 schoolgirls. just one is a world, a future of infinite possibilities, a universe. that america has done this atrocity to 85 of them, that it will continue to do even worse... i don't even know what to say. i condemn this with every fiber of my being, but that doesn't feel like enough.

Why is it that the victims of the so-called, most moral army in the region, are mostly kids? The biggest death toll in the past 3 years by Israel's genocidal strikes has been kids, babies, and don't get me started on the amount of orphans who will suffer potential PTSD their entire lives.
