Note that the charges can be added to or modified at any time. The cops probably (hopefully) didn’t get the camera footage until later.

the siblings were transferred to Cohen Children’s Medical Center in stable condition. The boy sustained a fractured skull, while his sister had minor injuries.

This is the first one, in Forest Hills.

Too fucking important to obey traffic signals, too fucking tall to easily see the kids he’s running over, and so much of an idiot to own a penis-substitute pavement princess in New York City.

Trump supporters are notoriously difficult to reach

Funny. That used to be the younger generations bc cellphones and not picking up in general. Now it’s the older generations with their copper landlines?

It seems like she should’ve confirmed with the agency that there would be food she could eat made available. Or maybe made other arrangements for her meals, maybe brought some snacks with her.

Edit: the duality between “lol get curtains” and helpful things is great. But! I can’t put up curtains on the windows the light floods in - it’s the front door and the sort of side window beside the front door.

I also didn’t want to put holes in the wall, so I got command strips (those little stick-on / pull-off hooks) and used them to hang my curtains. If the way it looks bothers you, you could hang a piece of decorative cloth in front or back of the curtain.

Angelidou-Smith is no stranger to positions like this, but more in social media than video games. From 2014 to 2022, she was with Meta, looking after various aspects of Facebook, firstly in app monetization, and then in the realm of Facebook Groups, Dating and the like. Then, after stints in other industries, she took on the job of chief product officer at Reddit in November of last year. And now she’s in charge of Minecraft.

Get blackout curtains. Wear a sleep mask.

Thank you so much for your comment. I welcome the opportunity to remove your dimwitted, outdated, and useless opinions from my feed.

Interesting enough article, and thank you for sharing. But can we talk for a moment about the “About the author” and his apparent inability to decide whether that section should be in first- or third-person?

About the author: Writing is my one incontrovertible passion. Over the past six years, he has authored over 2,200 distinct articles on financial and tech-related topics, spanning nearly 1 million words. And he has been a member of Wcctech mobile team since 2025. As an alumnus of the University of Toronto, Rotman Commerce Program, I bring nuance, in-depth knowledge, and a unique perspective to every topic that I cover. When I’m not writing, I’m traveling the world, exploring hidden confectionaries and restaurants as an aspiring food connoisseur.

For anyone in the US who needed to know:

• If you were born before 1957, you are presumed immune because measles was so prevalent.

• If you were vaccinated before 1967, you should definitely get a booster (the original vaccine wasn’t as strong as the later vaccine).

• If you were vaccinated between 1967 and 1989, you should consider a booster: they believed you only needed one shot, but you actually needed two.

• If you were vaccinated after 1989, you are considered fully vaccinated.

The part where you say it’s “shitty to suggest women are solely responsible for challenging misogyny and then not participate yourself” implies that I and ‘the women’ are completely separate entities.

Oh, thanks for asking this! I welcome commentary that lets me exclude toxic people from my life - welcome to my blocklist :)

What makes you think I’m not a woman? Another reason people don’t “see” women on the internet is the automatic assumption that someone is a man.

The incident occurred at the Anti-Plague Research Institute in Shelekhov, near Irkutsk […] a “suspected case of a particularly dangerous infection affecting a resident of the region,”

Yeah, that’s not alarming at all …

an aluminum plant near the laboratory instructed staff to wear masks as a precautionary measure. […] nearly 200 people were placed under observation at the hospital in Shelekhov […] Quarantine has also been imposed in at least one of the city’s maternity hospitals […] "even if [plague is] confirmed, there will be no spread of this disease,”

If this spreads and lockdowns and mask mandates come back, an entire portion of the US population will go actually, literally insane.

The Sun (which sucks, but often gets facts right underneath all the slanted coverage and yellow journalism) said

She was said to have become ill after breaking a test tube at Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute where she worked earlier this week.

They’re already saying the quarantine there is to last for three weeks.

Despite there not being any other known current infections, Wikipedia’s entry for the town of Shelekov now has a subsection for “2026 epidemic”.

Guess I’ll be poking at This Week In Virology again for a while …

who wants to deal with unmoderated sexist abuse while trying to enjoy a leisure hobby?

Definitely one of the biggest failures of modern society.

Do you call it out when you see or hear it? If you want women to show up, it’s on you and your peers to make it a more welcoming environment.

you never hear feminine folks on voice chat.

Because a lot of the time when you have a female[-presenting] voice, you get either pigeon-holed into certain roles (“we need you to be the healer!”), patronized for skills that would be unremarkable in a male [-sounding] player, griefed by your sex when you make a mistake (“stupid fucking cunt!”), get white knighted sometimes ("oh, here, you take this! tiny shy giggle), sent explicit messages in group chat or PM, etc, etc. Even if you disguise your voice or stay off chat, you still need to have a certain level of tolerance for the misogyny, sexism and racism that crops up.

Tbf, he was probably very far away from the war (Russia is massive). And for all that he paid attention to Canada’s flaws, he didn’t pay attention to Russia’s trafficking in people from all over the world to act as cannon fodder. Unfortunately for his family, he didn’t realize his privileges until they got revoked.

Ofc, there’s nothing preventing him (trying to) move his family back to Canada, but I wouldn’t be surprised if any assets he has in Russia are confiscated (the farm, any money he might have, etc). They’ll probably let the wife return, and hopefully any younger kids, but the dad’s fate and that of any older boys (who I feel very sorry for) may be very different.
