Why does The Economist hate wealth taxes?

Working to bring Rama to life using unreal’s built-in control rig. It’s so nice not going back and forth between programs. #gaming #indiegame

My next game is ... MOLDRISE is a first-person psych. horror roguelike where you are infected with a fungus that takes over your mind and forces you to go UP. You will die - a lot. But you will learn and adapt. Or discover other ways to die. #GodotEngine #IndieDev #GameDev

Betore Rome, there was Carthage. Before Carthage, there was Tyre. Europe, Princess of Tyre, gave her name to the continent of Europe, to those who, today, let Israel destroy her city, Tyre—a city more than 5,000 years old—by European weapons without saying a word. What you see in this image are not merely ordinary columns; they are the historical columns of Tyre in southern Lebanon are iconic Roman architectural remains. They are part of an ancient Phoenician city-state that is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. I could not identify any military targets that would justify striking a UNESCO World Heritage protected site. We are watching history beirg erased in real time by Israel.

This is why they want you to forget about the Epstein files. There are dozens of girls just like her who were taken and sold into human trafficking. They’re probably not even alive anymore. What happened to these girls is beyond comprehension, and the people responsible are getting away with it.

An investigation into Mississippi's solitary confinement system says that incarcerated people were held alone for weeks, months, or even years, with lights on nearly all day, little human contact, limited showers, and worsening mental health. At least 47 people under Mississippi's solitary torture program died by suicide in the past decade. A DOJ investigation in 2024 described "restrictive housing units" as "breeding grounds" for suicide, self-injury, fires, and assaults. Solitary confinement is obviously an uncivilized and brutal practice that doesn't help our country. Depriving humans of connection, dignity, and hope will never rehabilitate anyone. It's torture. There's no excuse why our criminal justice system should be multiplying violence and trauma with more violence and trauma.

Pokémon Go player data was used to train an AI model that may be put to use helping US military drones and robots navigate war zones. The game awarded players points if they took a short video of them “scanning” certain points of interest as they walked around. In total, 30 billion of these scans were uploaded, DroneXL reported. Niantic used player scans to train AI in mapping of real world locations. The part of the company that did so was spun off into a new firm called Niantic Spatial, which in December announced a partnership with drone software company Vantor, a military contractor. Vantor was awarded a deal in February worth up to $217m to assist the US Army in training and rehearsing missions using high-precision, immersive 3D terrains. Niantic Spatial and Vantor described the partnership as producing “a comprehensive positioning solution that will enable air and ground platforms to navigate and coordinate precisely in GPS-denied environments.” Niantic Spatial has acknowledged that players’ ground scans were “one component” of training its own AI systems but stressed that it no longer receives data from Pokémon Go since the sale to Scopely. The company said its models “are being used across a range of sectors to help AI understand and navigate the physical world” and claimed no player scans had been shared with Vantor. “Now as part of Scopely, Pokémon Go data is not shared with Niantic Spatial,” a company spokesperson said in a statement to Kotaku. “AR Scans collected through Pokémon Go were submitted voluntarily by players who opted into the feature and were subject to the applicable Terms of Service and Privacy Policy at the time. The discontinuation of AR scanning and the end of data sharing with Niantic Spatial were part of the transition planning associated with Pokémon Go‘s move to Scopely.” It added: “While we have an agreement with Vantor, announced last December, it is still in its very early stages, and sharing this data is not part of the agreement.”

Been doing a lot with custom functions for Control Rig, gradually building up a library of useful stuff. There's so many little things that could be added that would have a billion applications. If anyone from Epic is interested I'll make a writeup of a few hundred little helper functions that it could really use. Ranging from "this saves adding loads of mess" to "this isn't possible without a simple code implementation".

There you have it. Anthropic's CEO said it: The murder of more than 100 schoolgirls in Minab targeted by Anthropic's CLAUDE "is a use case that doesn't even violate our red lines." Time to rise up against these technofeudal war criminals.

The DoJ has indicted 8 students and graduates from the University of Michigan for their involvement in pro-Palestine organizing. Many of them face very strenous sentences, upto 20 years. A legal fund has been set up that needs about 6k to reach its goal. Please donate to their -

Dream tiger run cycle I did for a school assignment original by: @govy9807

If you can’t tax billionaires and trillionaire because “its unrealized gains until they cash out,” then stop letting them leverage that wealth for loans, as collateral, or as equity. If it’s not real enough to tax, it shouldn’t be real enough to leverage. This is why we say the system is rigged in favor of the super wealthy. Abolish billionaires, tax them out of existence, protect working people.

It's amazing to see how much an anim can change after good feedback! I pushed the poses and changed the timing and it already feels much better. Still WIP but I'm having a lot of fun with this one ~ 😊 Thanks to @Keyojimbo for the notes and guidance! ✨ #animation

I am 52 years old. I have been working since I was 15 years old. I have no savings, no retirement, and will never own a home before I die. And there is now a trillionaire.
