25 years after 9/11 Zohran Mamdani is wrapping the Iranian flag around NYC subways over 4th of July weekend. The fact that no one in the Mayor's office or at Kathy Hochul's MTA stopped & said "Hey, maybe this is a bad idea" tells you all you need to know about who's running NY.

Subnautica 2 is a pacifist ideology woven into a game. Players have noticed you cannot defend yourself against attacking fish. Not even in self defense. Only passive means are available. This was by design. You can't kill anything because the devs feel it would support gun violence and aspects of colonialism: "Subnautica is one vote towards a world with less guns. A reminder that there is another way forward." "We want people to feel like they're learning to adapt to the world, rather than being a conqueror or dominator." "We aren't a killing game. Go play Sons of the Forest or something if you want to kill." The anti-violence stance got stronger from Subnautica 1 -> 2, which now has a complete "no kill" policy even when the fish can still kill *you*.

Haitians actually eat dirt cookies, they called bonbon tè. Women go and buy sacks of dirt, often on credit, and mix them with a bit of fat and salt 😋
