Yes, Narnia is a children’s story, and that is precisely why we should portray it accurately—particularly the villains, who we should not be made to sympathize with in any way.
They are not misunderstood. They are wicked:

A U.S. congressman wants to change how we legally “own” video games.
Rep. Ritchie Torres has announced plans to introduce the Power To The Players Act, a bill that would direct the FTC to create rules protecting consumers who buy video games.
The proposal would give players three basic rights:
>The right to own the games they purchase, rather than simply receiving a revocable license
>The right to keep playing games after online servers are shut down, through an offline mode
>The right to transfer or resell games they own
Torres argues that if a company can take a game away simply by shutting down its servers, then the consumer didn’t really buy the game in the first place.
Torres also hopes the legislation could eventually establish a precedent for ownership rights across other parts of the digital economy:
“If you pay for it, you own it.”

Zelenskyy declares that Trump has betrayed Ukraine. All he asked for was the help to survive—for his country to survive.
Yet, the president of an allied nation chose to stand with the aggressor.
And now, the truth has finally been spoken aloud.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy just said: 'We will continue to bomb Russian data centers.'
Republicans responded by accusing him of interfering in the US midterms.
Why would bombing Russian data centers hurt Republicans in our elections?

🚨 SONY SHUT IT DOWN… AND HOURS LATER IT WAS ALREADY BACK 💀
• Overdrive offered 1,600+ PS4 & PS5 games on jailbroken consoles
• The original GitHub repository has now disappeared
• Sony lawyers reportedly sent the developers a cease-and-desist
• Sony has NOT publicly confirmed the legal action
• The original Overdrive app reportedly stopped working
• Within HOURS, multiple clones and re-releases started appearing
• One replacement reportedly already has around 1,800 games
• The code being out in the wild makes completely eliminating it much harder
• Recent PS5 jailbreak progress up to firmware 13.60 helped fuel interest in projects like this
• Piracy aside, this shows just how quickly the PS5 homebrew/jailbreak scene is moving
Sony: “WE GOT 'EM!” 🙌🏻
The internet soon after: “WHICH ONE?” 💀😂

Another rape at a U Chicago frat!
Mia Lara is a hero!!! The frat bros who cheered this on should be identified and expelled!
"The trio danced in the basement. Ms. Lara’s friend and a man began kissing and Ms. Lara lost track of them. She searched the house, eventually finding a small group of men cheering outside a locked bathroom door in the basement, she said.
“They were saying things like, ‘When’s it my turn?’ and, ‘I want to go in there,” Ms. Lara said.
Ms. Lara jimmied the lock and forced her way inside. She found her friend sitting on the floor, slumped against the wall with her clothes and undergarments pulled down. The man whom her friend had been kissing had his hands on her wrists, Ms. Lara said.
Her friend began saying, “Make it stop” and “Get me out of here,” Ms. Lara said. Ms. Lara began screaming and the man left. She and her friend carried the woman out of the bathroom.
Outside the fraternity house, Ms. Lara chased the man, a scene captured in a social media video. In the clip, Ms. Lara yells at the man, accusing him of assaulting her friend.
“She wanted to,” the man replies. Ms. Lara swats the man with her hands, and he runs.
Ms. Lara said the man got away and she was intercepted by a campus police officer. The officer drove the three friends to the University of Chicago hospital, she said, where the police took a report and her friend underwent a rape exam."

Zelensky: It's a pity that we are losing a strong partner.
Morgan: You think you're losing America?
Zelensky: Yeah, but not because of us. We can’t be weak. Otherwise, we can’t survive… This is why it’s painful when Trump chooses to be on Russia’s side. This is not the right side of history.

Pretty clear that Trump/Hegseth are doing everything they can to force Ukraine to surrender to Putin by withholding all US assistance while actively helping fund the Russian war machine to kill as many civilians as possible including kids. What a dark, evil chapter in US history.

So this White lady in Austin moves into this neighborhood and starts harassing Black People, threatening them and leaving nails under their tires.
She said she paid $1M for her house and this is "My neighborhood!"
This is how Black People responded. Good morning, yall!🙂↔️🤗💕

Hasan Piker's rant about the Republican Party. Not one lie was told:
"I'm just so goddamn annoyed that they get away with everything. They get away with everything, dude. They can be so incompetent. They can just do heinous crimes all the time.
It makes me annoyed that right-wingers can get away with everything, meanwhile James Talarico can't even have the fucking flu for a week without people being like, 'Oh, he's a homosexual demon, who's having gay sex at the mental health facility where he's also getting bottom surgery. Why didn't you address it fast enough? Were you getting top surgery as well?'
It's just so fucking annoying. We are being bullied endlessly by some of the dumbest, most hateful fucking individuals of all time. They just run the show. They dominate discourse. We have to constantly be in a panicked state that they're going to come after us. It's so imbalanced. The asymmetry is unbelievable. We're at their mercy all the time. We're held hostage by some of the stupidest fucking people on the planet."

Hi Brivael, ex Silicon Valley guy here, and French speaker. I want to start by saying this isn’t personal, you’re just factually wrong and doing it on purpose, so I’m going to dismantle your whole diatribe of self important, deliberately misinformed bullshit here line by line for fun. In French. I’m assuming you’ll block me, because if you think your post went “viral” just wait. Come along children, and let’s learn both a foreign language and how to dismantle a Vichy asshole at the same time: 🧵
I’m French. I want to talk to Americans who are about to vote Democrat. Not to insult you. To warn you.
I come from your future.
In France we did everything your progressive politicians promise. Free healthcare, free college, generous welfare, strong unions, heavy regulation, high taxes on the rich, a state that takes care of everything. Public spending close to 57% of GDP, one of the highest on the planet. On paper, it’s the dream.
Here’s what it looks like from the inside. France hasn’t passed a balanced budget since 1974. Our debt is above 3,300 billion euros. Interest on that debt is becoming one of the biggest items in the national budget. Our hospitals are collapsing despite record funding. Our schools rank lower every year. Young people with degrees can’t afford an apartment in the city they were born in. Our best engineers leave for London, Zurich and San Francisco. And the rich you wanted to tax? They left too, and took the jobs with them.
The promise was protection. The result is stagnation.
The worst part is that nobody in France voted for decline. Every single step sounded generous, compassionate, reasonable. One more program. One more regulation. One more tax to fund it. Each step alone makes sense. Fifty years of them, and you wake up in a country that can no longer build a nuclear plant on time or keep its streets safe.
I love America because it’s the one place on earth where people still believe they can build something from nothing. I came to Silicon Valley as a self-taught kid and it changed my life. That spirit is the most precious thing your country has.
Before you vote, ask yourself one question: is the program you’re voting for making America more like America, or more like France?
Trust me. You don’t want to be France.

Zelenskyy may have neutered Elon’s midterms interference, by bombing Russia’s biggest data center, and silencing X’s bots. Tonight the right wing bots are silent. Zelenskyy is outsmarting trump’s creeps. A true intelligent, smart leader.

Illinois, tonight you will see two very different visions for our great state on the debate stage. Gov. @JBPritzker has raised the minimum wage, enacted eight consecutive balanced budgets, lowered healthcare costs, and he’s ready to keep Illinois moving forward. Darren Bailey wants to erase our progress and roll out the red carpet for Donald Trump.
I know who I’m voting for. Tune in to WTTW at 8 to hear more.
