Local school district to open Safe Sleep Lot as homelessness grows
Cincinnati Public Schools are opening a designated parking lot for homeless students and their families, allowing them to sleep in their cars while they seek housing. This initiative, part of a program called Project Connect, aims to provide a safe space and support for those experiencing homelessness. Being homeless has become illegal.
WTH has happened to this country when schools have to provide sanctuary for the homeless?

REPORT: Netanyahu quietly working to block Türkiye’s access to F-35s
Israel is reportedly using behind-the-scenes diplomacy to obstruct Ankara’s acquisition of F-35 fighter jets, citing concerns over Erdoğan’s past statements and the impact stealth aircraft could have on Israel’s early-warning and air-defense systems.
The effort is said to avoid open friction with President Trump, reflecting Israel’s preference for discreet pressure over public confrontation. nitter.net/ClashEdge/status/19…

Here's an alt-text description of the image:
The image shows a wide shot of a large, ornate gate and courtyard at Peking University, labeled as “West Gate, Peking University N509FZ”. Several people are visible in the courtyard, walking or standing. A red wall with a golden decorative pattern runs along the sides and back of the courtyard. There are green trees and a paved pathway visible. In the upper left corner, there is text that reads “RAOULL WALLENBERG INSTITUTE”. Below that is text that reads, "Our cooperation partners included Peking University, China University of Political Science and Law, and East-Lake Institute for Development. Over the years, we have developed a comprehensive development programme particularly in the areas of human rights and gender equality, anti-discrimination and the rights of persons with disabilities." Below the image, on the right, is a logo.

There’s this stereotype that only the US, UK, and Japan were making good video games during the 80s and 90s.
Truth is, a whole lot of countries had killer titles that are obscure to this day. Partially, this is due to platforms that were popular elsewhere. But mostly, this was due to language.
France had its own micro-computer platforms like the Oric. L’Aigle d’Or (1984) is a good example of this.
Atari 8-bit was popular in Poland. This is because Jack Tramiel was Polish Jew (survived the Holocaust) who was able to sell a good many Atari hardware while Poland was still Communist. Robbo (1989) is a good example.
South Korea is interesting because they rejected Japanese consoles entirely. As a result, the game development scene privileged DOS over Nintendo. Games like Astonishia Story (1994) look like JRPGs for the SNES. But be rest assured, they’re actually KRPGs for DOS.

And all of the interesting games for the PC-98. I get the impression that most of them still haven't been translated.

I wish there would be end-to-end encrypted, federated micro-blog social media. Social media entries and media aren't stored in plain text, but rather encrypted on the server, and only users who have subscribed to them have the ability to decrypt it.

I understand, and it looked like he considered it. He would have to be charged for that.
The fellow who put the gun down looks like he got shot in the hand when he decided he needed to defend himself with the gun. He is in hospital and I believe he will recover.
I wonder if JD knows that brave man is a Muslim.

I like the proposition that MAGA people seek human sacrifice mostly of other people, but they don’t mind taking one for the team either.
