“This is the danger of reading the ceasefire as an event rather than as a phase: it allows the slow violence of fortification, encroachment, and engineered uninhabitability to proceed under the cover of a word that promises its end,” Abdaljawad Omar, an assistant professor at Birzeit university in the West Bank, told Drop Site News.

“This is the whole grammar of settler-colonial space in miniature,” Omar added. “The line is never where the line is said to be. The ‘yellow line,’ like the Green Line before it, like every cartographic fiction Israel has authored, exists in order to be exceeded. It is drawn not to mark a limit but to generate the next transgression of that limit—control of 53% becomes control of 60% becomes the buffer that eats 300 meters more.

Anger is growing over alleged safety violations in the wake of China's worst mining disaster in more than 15 years.

At least 82 people were killed and more than 120 injured after an explosion on Friday at the Liushenyu coal mine in Shanxi province, the heart of China's huge mining industry.

For many in China, the tragedy harks back to the 2000s, a period of regular, deadly coal mining disasters, which is widely thought to have been left in the past.

Those concerns are now reignited and playing out on China's tightly-controlled internet, with people calling for justice and questioning how this happened: "It's so heartbreaking, so many precious lives lost. When will we truly put safety first?"

Authorities say the cause of the disaster is still under investigation, but initial findings show Tongzhou Group, the company operating the privately-owned coal mine had committed "serious illegal violations".

[...]

Reports claim that some workers did not bring mandatory tracking devices into the mines, and blueprints provided by the Liushenyu coal mine to authorities did not match the conditions at the mine, complicating rescue efforts.

State media also reported that the number of people in the mine at the time of the explosion was double that listed in the company's official count.

"Why are there more than 100 unregistered workers appearing out of the blue?" a Weibo user questioned. "Was it to exceed production limits? To reduce costs? Or to conceal the number of workers during an accident?"

[...]

"This incident not only exposes the superficiality of local daily supervision and the low cost of violations, leading to repeated violations by the company," another Weibo user wrote.

A man who hasn't been able to contact his brother since the blast told AFP he did not dare to tell his parents that his brother was missing. He also said he wasn't sure what to believe.

"They say two people are missing, but who knows if that's accurate? We honestly don't know."

I finally finished the System Shock Remake and I was surprised how much this game already got right in its original installment in sense of story progression and open world level design, but also how much they improved the general gameplay and graphics with the remake.

The new lightning effects and graphics in general are of course much better than the 20+ years old original, only downside there is that they made everything bright enough, that you never need the vision enhancements.

Sadly the last level in the remake is standard "evil tyrant SciFi" optics over the surreal Giger-like textures in the original due to time constraints.

The cyber space "hacking" is a 6 degree of freedom shooting mini game, same as in the original, but much better to conceptualize now. Now everything has textures and proper 3d models instead of being some polygon clusters with edges but no surfaces.

The story is unchanged in the big moments, but some smaller changes in the details. The beginning has you explore your apartment on planet now instead of only being a cutscene.

So if you were always interested in the birth of the immersive sims genre, but don't want to play a very difficult to control game with sprites pixely enough to make Minecraft look HiRes, I would recommend this game version over the original.

These constant polls mean nothing, Canadians have become to impatient. Let the current government do the work needed, voice concerns but know things don’t happen overnight, good nor bad.

I was hesitant to vote for the liberals as I was not in favor of any of Justin’s initiatives. I was and continue to be against the rampant abuse of the T.F.W. program, as it is wrong and should be scrapped. Carney though is the leader we need currently to deal with the absolute gong show going on in the U.S. currently. We became too complacent and comfortable, primarily trading with the U.S. and we can’t let that continue. PP would’ve caved to the regime in the U.S. and we’d all be much much worse off.
