Comment on US Pentagon says the firing squad execution of Fort Hood shooter Nidal Malik Hasan will be livestreamed in ~society
kfwyre LinkUpdate: Trump shuts down Hegseth plan to livestream military executionUpdate: Trump shuts down Hegseth plan to livestream military execution
US President Donald Trump scrapped plans to livestream the execution of the former Army major who killed 13 people at Fort Hood, overruling Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth on Thursday after the proposal drew opposition from Republicans, religious leaders and the public.
The reversal ended a plan to broadcast Nidal Hasan’s December 3 firing-squad execution. It also marked a rare public disagreement between Trump and one of the president’s closest allies, although the Pentagon said the two were “completely aligned.”

Get 10 PC Games for just $24.99. Limited Availability. 100% of net profits go to UNICEF.
Blue Prince is the clear standout here.
This is the first I've heard of PlanetPlay, but they're included on IsThereAnyDeal which is good enough for me (ITAD explicitly chooses to include only valid distributors). I bought the bundle and received my keys just fine.
If you're interested in this, it's probably a good choice to get it sooner rather than later, as charity bundles tend to have much more limited stock than regular ones.

Comment on Fortnite is coming to Linux on the Epic Games Launcher in ~games

Everything...I’m far from an Epic hater, and I think devs in general are underappreciated (especially these days), but even I have to admit that the current Epic launcher is sooooo slooooowwwwww. Everything about it is heavy. Using it feels like swimming.
They update it fairly regularly, and each time I’m hopeful that it’ll be smoother and more optimized, but it never happens. I’ll sing Heroic’s praises up and down for being an open source alternative, but it’s also noteworthy in that it genuinely gives an improved experience over the native app. It’s way snappier and has (IMO) better UX. It’s what their main launcher should be.
So, it feels weird to for me to welcome an explicitly vibecoded new version of EGS, but, honestly, the current launcher is bad enough that I can’t deny my excitement at the prospect of literally ANY rewrite.
Also it’s nice to see another nod towards eventual Linux support, though I’m still very much in the “I’ll believe it when I see it” camp. Until then (and likely even after), we have the amazing Heroic to fill that gap.

That said, my primary use for Amazon is stuff for my classroom, but I see no mention of being a teacher there. Instead it just thinks I’m really into home organization.
Oh, and it also knows my husband plays Magic. Says it outright by name. 😂

I walked out of the grocery store. It was pretty windy, and right outside the doors there was a bird flying. Except, because of the wind speed going against the bird, it wasn’t really moving at all. Instead it was just kind of floating in one spot. Imagine a bird flying on a wind treadmill, and you’ve got the right idea.
It was a tiny little thing, but I thought it was awesome. It kind of blows my mind that something like that is even possible, and seeing it up close was a delight. It brightened my day significantly.
Share a small but bright moment from your day.

Each time we've sat down to play it for a couple of hours and ended up getting sucked in FAR longer than that -- putting off work, laundry, and chores just to squeeze out another hour or two or six.
It's so good. We're loving it.
We're about to close out the Mountains soon.
Also, after playing vanilla for a few hours, we installed the AzuCraftyBoxes and AzuAutoStore mods for (what we consider to be) essential QoL upgrades.
