A Black Man Was Elected Mayor in Rural Alabama, but the White Town Leaders Won’t Let Him Serve
  • It's a majority black town that has maintained unelected white leadership since reconstruction. I think the motives are obvious here

  • Proving again that Sherman didn't go far enough.

  • It's about a third of all birds.

  • We shouldn't be using organic pesticides either.

  • Gex Trilogy announced for PS5, Xbox Series, PS4, Switch, and PC
  • The Dunkey video is going to be amazing.

  • What are we all playing this weekend?
  • EverQuest Project 1999. It's missing my favorite expansion (Luclin) but the only free server that runs that is mostly deadz whereas P99 is jamming.

    I don't know what it is but EQ is just straight nostalgia for me. Whenever I'm having a rough time I can take a walk down memory lane on my druid.

  • What game is too terrifying to finish for you?
  • I cleansed my SOMA trauma with The Talos Principle. Very similar themes but viewed through a hopeful lens.

  • Love me some vintage memes
  • Can we please stick to talking about Rampart guys?

  • I'm close to you. 118F in Colorado, -30 in Chicago during the polar vortex. I had icicles in my beard within minutes, it was gnarly.

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • All the pro life arguments are new. Theyre disingenuous and hypocritical. The modern pro life movement was cooked up by hardcore right wingers when they lost the fight against civil rights , in a transparent attempt to create a new voting bloc. Before the 1960s, the Baptists and Methodists were pro abortion and called it a Catholic issue.

    Person hood is a red herring. Even if you accept fetal person hood, no one owes another person the use of their body.

    Lastly, legislators have no place in medical decisions. Doctors are not terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester and never have. There were less than 10 third trimester abortions in the US per year and all we're either to save the life of the mother or to remove a fetus that had a fatal defect. Banning the procedure will only have deleterious effects and keep doctors from performing vital life saving procedures. We have already seen this in Ireland and central America.

  • Facebook turns over mother and daughter’s chat history to police resulting in abortion charges
  • As of 2015 in the United States, more than 90% of abortions occur before the 13th week, 1.3% of abortions in the United States took place after the 21st week,[4] and less than 1% occur after 24 weeks.[5][6]

    No one is terminating viable fetuses in the third trimester.

  • It was a right until a few hand picked Catholic activist judges, chosen by a Christian Dominionist think tank and corruptly paid off by billionaires, decided it wasn't a right anymore.

  • Ex-F.E.A.R. devs’ spooky FPS Betrayer reappears on GOG for free, two years after vanishing off Steam
  • It's an atmospheric sort of proof of concept but I didn't find it very compelling. I've played better source mods.

  • I've got a lot more money than time. I get to take like 4 hours a week so it's gotta count.

  • What are you reading this week? [7/09/23]
  • I'm juggling a couple.

    Between Two Fires by Christopher Buehlman. Historical fantasy / horror about a fallen knight crossing a plague ridden France in what feels like the apocalypse, and dealing with demonic entities that mar his path. Really evocative descriptions and concise prose. It feels a bit like Berserk: a novel.

    The Way Inn by Will Wiles. A professional convention surrogate is attending a convention for convention organizers, when he becomes trapped in an endless fractal of nondescript corporate mediocrity. Not sure how this one will end up yet, so far it's a delightful satire with a really dry wit.

  • What are you reading this week? [7/09/23]
  • Environmentalism and colonialism are definitely interesting lenses to look at the story through. It also deconstructed white savior and heroes journey tropes. All of this is explored more fully in the sequel, which I also really enjoyed.

  • One of my summer favorites: Iced coffee + orange juice + ginger
  • I've tried coffee lemonade and found it a pretty suitable emetic. This seems like it could be even worse, cheers.

  • Alot of people wants the old internet to return but cannot even handle when looking at its UI
  • It was highly insular and difficult to navigate, and the barriers to entry effectively curated the user base .
