Do you think he deserves jail?

Bill Gates recently said that if you don’t have the Digital ID by 2028 you will be isolated from society. Stop letting these fucking satanic creeps make decisions for humanity. SAY NO TO DIGITAL ID

This morning just before 7am local time, an individual fired multiple rounds at a Dallas, Texas ICE facility, killing one, wounding several others, before taking his own life. FBI, DHS, ATF are on the ground with Dallas PD and state authorities. While the investigation is ongoing, an initial review of the evidence shows an idealogical motive behind this attack (see photo below). One of the unspent shell casings recovered was engraved with the phrase “ANTI ICE.” More updates will be forthcoming. These despicable, politically motivated attacks against law enforcement are not a one-off. We are only miles from Prarieland, Texas where just two months ago an individual ambushed a separate ICE facility targeting their officers. It has to end and the FBI and our partners will lead these investigative efforts to see to it that those who target our law enforcement are pursued and brought to the fullest extent of justice. Thankfully, no law enforcement personnel were injured. Please pray for the injured and deceased.

Xbox. It's a horrid situation. My thoughts go to the affected developers – many of whom are my mates and ex-colleagues. What happened? Macro: Gaming overextended during the pandemic, when everybody was at home, interest rates were low, and games engagement/spending skyrocketed. The growth-at-all costs mindset was silly. Many thought double-digit growth would continue, greenlighting risky projects and strategies and going on misguided M&A sprees. The market's different now. Mature. In 2025, inflation is high, borrowing is expensive, there's a cost-of-living crisis, and publishers are mass-firing to ''fix'' their mistakes. But for Xbox, there's even more at play. The Xbox One was the beginning of its troubles, and Xbox has been in a constant state of recovery ever since. The Game Pass strategy was supposed to be the cure, but the games -- and subscriber growth -- never arrived with the impact needed. They bet on the wrong horse. Many confidently said that subscriptions would become the de-facto way consumers access game content, just like Spotify, Netflix, and the like are ruling distribution in music and video. I've been saying it for a while: Despite companies’ best efforts, subscriptions will NOT be the main method of game distribution. Consumers – and the market – have spoken. The reasoning is clear: the attention economy is already oversaturated, and consuming game content is a time sink. A consumer can: 🎵 Listen to hundreds of tracks on Spotify each month 📺Watch dozens of movies / TV episodes 🎮But most only has time to play a couple of games This is just the tip of the iceberg about why multi-game subscriptions are only worth it for the most dedicated players: Most gamers are already served by the free-play markets. Others are happy to buy a few premium games a year. Subscriptions with day-one launch games are good for consumers, but they cannibalise game sales on Xbox’s core platform. And stagnating growth in that strategy has forced Xbox to shift its strategy towards becoming a third-party publisher. Another wrinkle is that Microsoft’s acquisitions of Bethesda and Activision Blizzard were meant to reshape its gaming business. And they have – just not in the way many imagined. Xbox is now a giant publisher, with a back catalogue that includes Call of Duty, Minecraft, Elder Scrolls, Fallout and many more. But it hasn't solved the company's woes. M&A was not a silver bullet. And many of these studios have been mismanaged. There's no way to sugarcoat it. The division is in flux, caught between its historic role as a console platform and an increasingly platform-agnostic future – third party. Whether this results in a more successful Xbox, or simply a more diluted one, remains to be seen. I'm leaning away from optimism, truthfully. The Xbox of old is fading, and it’s sadly come with casualties. Too many casualties. It was always unsustainable, and now we're seeing the fallout. It's a shame. Xbox makes some of my favourite games EVER. What a waste of talent and brand equity.

ISRAEL as a people and ISRAEL as a land are inseparable. God’s eternal covenant covers both. They are FOREVER and there’s absolutely nothing or no one that will ever change that!! 🇮🇱
