‘A new form of genocide’: Gazans feel little relief from Israeli strangulation since the ceasefire
Most Palestinians in Gaza say they don’t feel the relief they expected after the ceasefire. Israel keeps blocking aid into the strip, delaying reconstruction efforts, and leaving hospitals short on supplies, while people go hungry every day.Tareq S. Hajjaj (Mondoweiss)

¿Sabían que el personaje de M. Bison en Street Fighter encapsula los arquetipos clásicos del dictador latinoamericano y, a la vez, fue inspirado por una figura mítica japonesa?
M. Bison, conocido como "Vega, el dictador" en la versión japonesa del juego, es el líder de la organización criminal Shadaloo y un villano que busca el dominio global. Su apariencia —uniforme militar, gorra roja y una presencia imponente— evoca deliberadamente la iconografía de dictadores militares históricos de diversas partes del mundo, incluyendo sobre todo los de América Latina, que a menudo se caracterizaban por su culto a la personalidad, uniformes distintivos y un control absoluto del poder.
Sin embargo, la inspiración directa principal, según Fuentes oficiales, fue Yasunori Kato, el villano principal de la novela japonesa Teito Monogatari. Tanto Bison como Kato comparten similitudes en su vestimenta, su visión del mundo y el uso de poderes esotéricos, conocidos como Psycho Power en el caso de Bison, que se alimenta del miedo y el odio.
La ambigüedad de su nacionalidad (especulada como tailandesa en el juego, pero sin confirmación oficial) y su estética general permiten que el personaje funcione como un símbolo universal del poder corrupto y la tiranía, resonando con la historia política real de muchas naciones.

The person has long, dark hair and is wearing headphones and a gray t-shirt with dark graphics. In front of them is a black keyboard synthesizer with red and orange accents, with a computer monitor to the right displaying a music editing interface with colorful waveforms. Various pieces of audio equipment, including speakers, smaller synthesizers, and audio interfaces, are visible on the desk and in the background. A poster on the brick wall reads "Cosmic Echoes."

You might be thinking that this is some unusual incident, that the press is cherry-picking and dramatizing the most sensational events.
I live in Minneapolis. The location in this article is pretty close to me. And I am telling you:
The press is •under•-covering what’s happening here. ICE is doing absolutely batshit stuff all the time, every single day, all over the city.
It is exhausting.

Illegal. Completely illegal. But everyone agrees: nobody’s allowed to stop ICE from breaking state and local laws, only issue citations afterwards.
To mismarked vehicles. With masked drivers who refuse to identify themselves. How do you cite •that•?!
ICE eats at restaurants I know and love, nice comfy meal before going back out there and destroying more lives.
It’s weird how much this enrages me. I hope the restaurant staff knows who they’re serving. I hope ICE knows they know. I hope ICE officers eat with nagging doubts about food safety.
I heard a rumor — this one not well-substantiated — that they ate at a restaurant and then come back and raided it the next day.
ICE assaulting a pregnant woman.
Covering their license plates with fake spray-on snow to hide the numbers.
Getting pelted with snowballs by the crowd and responding with pepper spray — which only increased the snowballs.
Just this afternoon’s local news.
Video of the snowballs (CW: person being assaulted, dragged)
(UPDATE: video attached in case FB blocks; source URL is facebook.com/share/r/1ZaUBtkGC…)
While at the ICE bldg in Portland we noticed that the same cars were going to and from the bldg with different plates. I think they have been trading out random plates at another location and driving in and out to avoid detection in their vehicles with their plates in public. In June they had just started taping their plates up or taking them off entirely but people started reporting them as driving with no plates
You’re valid in feeling enraged. Everyone should be enraged. I wish more people were because anger is a DOING emotion.
A request for everyone: please don’t be this person. We’re going through a miserable time here in MSP, and reply guy snot does not make it better.
A •lot• of replies I got are about what is illegal, or should be illegal, or must be illegal, and…yeah, we know, believe me, we know. If what you’re offering is commiseration — as with most replies — I welcome that wholeheartedly! This sucks, and it’s nice to hear people say, “Yeah, that sucks.”
But please don’t come into my mentions to argue. Wrong time, wrong target.

Comunque, prima di perdere nuovamente il flusso pensierante, devo assolutamente fare una digressione che boh, sarà gnammy, lo sarà meno, ma è in ogni caso reale...
Io ho notato che, come dire... subito dopo i miei bei momenti epici, altri effetti eventuali a parte, finisco sempre per avere come una specie di sorrisino in faccia, che mi dura addirittura per minuti interi... come in un misto di soddisfazione e allegria, non lo so... 🙃
Cioè, oh, questa cosa è assurda, non me la spiego!!! Finisco di aprirmi la pelle e infliggermi dolore e boh, ridacchio... forse un po' inquietante persino per me, lol. 😚L'altra volta che ci ho fatto caso, e ho inviato perciò la mia foto, pensavo fosse un caso, dovuto allo specifico episodio... ma invece no, noto che la cosa è ricorrente. Per esempio, qui grazie al mio 3DS, una foto dell'altra sera (cioè, ne ho fatte varie a raffica, tra l'altro con un'energia che non avevo poco prima, ma questa forse è la più decente) dimostra il wow.
...In effetti, in foto questo sorrisino mi sembra non evidente tanto quanto me lo percepisco io, sia da dentro che allo specchio, però innegabilmente si vede; oggettivamente c'è. 💀
La cosa assurda sul serio, però, è che questo non mi succede mai con niente altro... Cioè, ok, ridacchio tranquillamente di varie cose durante la giornata, ma lì si tratta sempre di secondi... mai di minuti interi in cui mi sento proprio così ahh in seguito ad 1 cosa... Sono veramente così tanto cucinata??? 💔
Slowly coming to the conclusion that part of the reason many Americans have embraced anti-science and anti-vaccine beliefs is that healthcare is so expensive.
So there is an attractiveness to the idea of being able to opt out of the healthcare system by eating healthy, consuming supplements and detoxing.

in reply to Dwight (DB) 🍁 🇨🇦 • • •A long, dark tunnel stretches into the distance, with a bright white light visible at the far end. The tunnel appears to be made of concrete, and its walls are slightly curved. A yellow line runs down the center of the road, guiding the eye toward the exit. There are evenly spaced lights along the ceiling of the tunnel, creating a repeating pattern. The road surface is wet, reflecting some of the light and adding to the overall sense of depth.
