A quotation from Olivia Butler

I wanted to understand the lies that people have to tell themselves when they either quietly or joyfully watch their neighbors ruined, spirited away, killed. Different versions of this horror have happened again and again in history. They’re still happening in places like Rwanda, Bosnia, Kosovo and East Timor, wherever one group of people permits its leaders to convince them that for their own protection, for the safety of their families and the security of their country, they must get their enemies, those alien others who until now were their neighbors.

Octavia Butler (1947-2006) American writer
Essay (2000-05), “A Few Rules for Predicting the Future,” Essence Magazine

⚔️ From Russian indie Kirill Fatkin comes the moody 2D action NightFall Shade, a survival‑tinged combat game with heavy atmosphere.

Expect a realistic, layered combat system: swap duel stances, use a knight's shield that defends three body zones, and manage plate armour that eats stamina yet is weak to blunt weapons; injuries and bleeding seriously cripple you. Enemies block, chain combos and mutate; camp mini‑games repair swords or...

https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2026/may/23/zack-polanski-greens-houseboat-council-tax-gla-investigation. This is absolutely absurd! Nigel #Farage can get away with accepting £5 million from a #Thai #cryptocurrency #billionaire, but a huge & disproportionate fuss is made over a late #payment of a few hundred £s in #counciltax by @ZackPolanski? What will the #media & his all-too-many, & vicious, #political #enemies throw at him next?

#Trump stated that :
> #America's #ENEMIES are:
all #Judges and all the #Jurisdictional Apparatus
(excluding #SCOTUS Judges when they do what Trump want)
Of course ALL members of the #Democratic Party
(and ALL those who vote Democratic)
ENEMIES!
'#MAGAs' are... 'Stupid', Trump says
(Trump is right about this)

#America's ENEMIES are also...
ALL #Congressmen / #Senators
(regardless whether #Democrats or #MAGARepublicans
so

practically
only Trump
the #KING of the #USA!

🔥 Control Resonant is getting a New Game+, but don't expect a casual replay; it's proper HARDCORE for vets.

Remedy says most skills and upgrades will carry over, yet some progress must be earned again, movement abilities will be locked at the start and reopen through the story to preserve the sense of discovery. You can replay missions to chase alternate rewards and missed collectibles, tinker with expanded skill synergies, and fi...

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/apr/28/james-comey-fbi-second-indictment. This is UTTERLY ridiculous & a very clear & egregious example of the #law being abused as a means by #Trump & the #DOJ to persecute people they perceive to be their #political #enemies. This so-called #lawfare is totally unacceptable in any civilised #society, @Nonilex - but does the #USA count as one under #MAGA rule?

...read a few pages of #Project2025, you know that you are reading a misguided document, and it is important to know how your #enemies think. If you live in #meme world, you will likely publish some bad things unless you make all of your own. Lots of bullshit actors. Reading prevents that influence.
