A diagram comparing gunshot wounds in movies versus real life, showing a human figure split down the middle. The left side (labeled 'In movies:') is marked in red showing supposedly non-fatal wound areas, while the right side (labeled 'In real life:') is completely white, implying that any gunshot wound can have serious consequences. The image critiques the unrealistic portrayal of survivable gunshot wounds in movies.

In 1985 French agents bombed the Greenpeace ship Rainbow Warrior in Auckland harbour to prevent its travel to Polynesia to protest against nuclear testing, killing one person. #MichaelKing , who I know best as an iconic New Zealand historian, published this journalistic account a year later, detailing the French operation and police investigation. The book is extremely detailed at times but still a vital record of a sleazy and contemptible, but historically important, operation. #bookstodon @bookstodon #finishedReading
Death of the Rainbow Warrior, by Michael King

Chris Trottier pleroma (AP)
Rugby: The World Cup is a great sports game. Great for its time. Great for its hardware. Great if you hate yourself. But is it a good* sports game? No.

Look, Iโ€™ll give credit where itโ€™s due: this is about as good as rugby gets on the C64. Itโ€™s all here: scrums, lineouts, kicks, passes, and the best part of rugby drama: drop goals. Penalties are mercifully left out to keep the action flowing.

But then thereโ€™s that joystick. One button. One lonely, overworked, and brutally misunderstood button. Want to pass? Press the button while moving left or right. Want to kick forward? Press the button while moving in the direction of play. Want to kick to touch? Button + diagonal. Want to do any of these things without accidentally doing the wrong thing? Good luck, pal. The button isnโ€™t here to help you. Itโ€™s here to make you suffer.

And scrums? Those god damn scrums. Wiggling the joystick left and right at warp speed might simulate rugbyโ€™s physicality, but mostly it simulated destroying your joystick. Iโ€™ve never won a scrum, and quite frankly, Iโ€™m not sure I want to anymore.

The A.I. also delights in trolling you while the ball is not in your possession. You cannot switch players manually. No, the computer decides that for you, and itโ€™s quite arbitrary about it. Too often, when youโ€™re so close to a tackle, the computer just decides, โ€œYou know what? Letโ€™s make you the other guy. So there you are, so close to glory, only to be body-swapped into oblivion. Itโ€™s rugby designed by Kafka.

That said, itโ€™s not all bad. While the sprites are simple, you actually get a lot of them, and they animate nicely. The animation is smooth. You get a both a close up of the field, and to your left, you get a whole birdโ€™s eye view of it too.

The intro music is nice. While thereโ€™s not music during actual gameplay, you get nice gameplay sounds like cheers and whistles.

Walking Circles developed Rugby: The World Cup. Theyโ€™re mostly known for Spitting Image: The Computer Game โ€“ yes, thatโ€™s a thing.

Rugby: The World Cup had ambition. But ambition doesnโ€™t always mean fun, and when youโ€™re trying to squeeze rugby into one button and eight joystick directions, fun doesnโ€™t just get sidelined โ€“ it get stretched off the field. So no, I canโ€™t recommend this game. Itโ€™s impressive, but why suffer through this?

I worked with a guy that did some form of trading that sounded very much like a betting strategy.
It seemed like a very complicated way to make some side money, that's all it amounted to.
But, as he described it, it was always just a trade away from a 'big one'.

I have what I describe as an addictive personality, on top of attention/spectrum stuff.
Thankfully I can also stop, after reaching a critical point of awareness linked to ^^
always just a trade away from a โ€˜big oneโ€™

Always. That's the driver. (Or one more pull of the slot machine lever).

"Awareness" is a powerful antidote/mitigation - where it's legal to be 'woke'. ;)

House Rep. Spartz won't caucus with Republicans, narrowing margin


A maverick Republican congresswoman says she wonโ€™t caucus with the party, narrowing the already slim GOP margin in the House of Representatives to as little as just one vote and potentially making it more difficult to enact President-elect Trumpโ€™s agenda.

Donald Trump Wants Liz Cheney Pardoned | Opinion - Newsweek


While it may seem like Trump is eager to see Cheney and others prosecuted for their work on the January 6 Committee, appearances can be deceiving. In reality, Trump likely has another goal in mind. He wants Cheney pardoned.

This might seem counterintuitive, but it makes perfect sense and fits with Trump's Roy Cohn-style M.O. Despite his aggrieved martyr act, in truth, the last thing Donald Trump wants is to relitigate the Jan. 6 insurrection for a very simple reasonโ€”exposure.

Putting Cheney on trial could make her into a hero and Trump the villain. Bringing Jan. 6 back into the spotlight would give Trump's treachery renewed focus and sap energy from the 100-day chaos festival he and Shadow President Elon Musk have promised.

Israeli occupational forces opened fire with live ammunition against unarmed Syrian villagers protesting their invasion.

Video shows where Israeli military opened fire against unarmed peaceful protesters in Syria from 100s of meters away.

These criminal cowards will use "feared for our lives" defense and get away with their criminal action.

And don't expect any reaction from "civilized world" leaders.
