the Columbia University arrests are worse than they seem. They're arresting protesting students for trespassing. It goes without saying students cannot meaningfully "trespass" in the common areas of a university they attend. So Columbia University has suspended all student protestors from their institution, in the process revoking their access to housing, their belonging, and most crucially damaging their academic futures. We are witnessing full scale silencing and removal of anyone of conscience from the next generation of academia.

The U.S. will use its veto power against a Palestinian bid to be recognized as a member state of the United Nations during a vote at the Security Council expected to take place Thursday evening. Vedant Patel, principal deputy spokesperson for the State Department, described as premature an effort by the Palestinian Authority (PA) to gain member status at the U.N. He said there was not unanimity among the Security Council’s 15 members that the Palestinian Authority had met the criteria for membership, with unresolved questions over the governance of the Gaza Strip, where Israel is in a war to defeat and eliminate the controlling power, Hamas. “And for that reason, the United States is voting no on this proposed Security Council resolution,” Patel said.

Earlier it was revealed that the United States was secretly pressuring other members of the Security Council to shoot down a Palestinian state membership so the US wouldn't have to use its veto as that would lead to a wave of local and international criticism for Joe Biden.

"The Biden administration, after reportedly finding three battalions within the Israeli occupation forces to be violating human rights and taking the decision to sanction it, decided not to proceed with the punitive measures.

The three battalions, found to be committing 'gross human rights violations' against Palestinian civilians in the occupied West Bank, will walk away scott-free as no sanctions will be imposed on them, ABC News reported.

US Secretary of State Antony Binken informed US House Speaker Mike Johnson of the decision in a Friday letter, wherein he reportedly said the fact that they were found to be violating human rights would not impede or delay the delivery of any type of assistance to the Israeli occupation.

Blinken underlined that the Israeli occupation forces would receive the full amount of arms and funds appropriated by Congress."

Peaceful anti war/pro Palestine protestors are being beaten and attacked by police with snipers on rooftops. Hundreds of Jewish students and faculty members being arrested.

Actual Nazis on the columbia university campus protesting.

If you’re Jewish in America this should be pretty terrifying. America protects its fascist that includes Zionists.

Some thoughts on Detective Grimoire

Another post about gaming! And this one is pretty interesting: recently, I finished playing the third game in the Detective Grimoire series, Tangle Tower. Immediately after that, I got the second one (the one subtitled Secret of the Swamp; the first game in the series is an odd duck, seeing as it's an old Flash-based point-and-click, and I haven't seen it). Tangle Tower in particular looks like this:

However, the reason I'm making this post is the same reason I only completed Tangle Tower now despite getting started in 2020. Nothing prepares you for the sheer creepy factor this game, and really the whole Detective Grimoire has. And it's not the jumpscare-everywhere kind of creepy, or the chilling kind, but the playful and surreal kind; in the here and now, nearly every scene had me yelling at the characters to "just get out of there and call the Federal Bureau of Control!" There is a lot of humor in almost every scene, and a lot of interesting and sympathetic characters (as well as some blatantly unsympathetic ones who act as red herrings), but also a cartoony, imaginative sense of foreboding par excellence. And said foreboding aspects have to do with the games' strong myth arc, the worldbuilding around unusual locations, and similar "secondary" aspects that almost make you forget there's a murder to solve in every game.

And about that, by the way: all the games are fair-play mysteries (even if I am only as good as the evidence I get to work with), and the detective mechanics function rather well. There are actual deductions to make, and you have to closely examine the games' locations to find out every piece of the puzzle. So, it's all pretty good!
