‘“On July 5, 2023, Trump Employee 4 informed Chief Judge Boasberg that he no longer wished to be represented by Mr. Woodward and that, going forward, he wished to be represented by the First Assistant Federal Defender,” the filing said, referring to Mr. Taveras. “Immediately after receiving new counsel, Trump Employee 4 retracted his prior false testimony and provided information that implicated Nauta, De Oliveira, and Trump in efforts to delete security camera footage, as set forth in the superseding indictment.”’

Starting our account in the Fediverse. We are a group of young scientists from Latin America aiming to promote networking, integrated science and soft skills.

Our main motivation is to understand and explain interactions within atmos-, bios-, cryos- and hydrosphere and how this knowledge can help us to solve the huge socio-environmental challenges we are facing.

I love games with limited voice acting that just have like random little soundbytes play whenever a character appears for the first time in the scene.

Text: MC, you're finally here! The Warumono Gang just knocked over one of our convenience stores. We can't let this challenge go unanswered.
Voice acting: Hello 😃

You can pick your appearance, but this only extends to whether you have sunglasses and/or a soul patch. The giallo gloves and dog collar are mandatory

Attachments:

• Willowy young adult protagonist with a bowl haircut, synthetic fiber black hoodie, dog collar, a couple of thin silver chains, black giallo killer gloves, and a rusty red v-neck t-shirt with some vague patterns on it. To his left, 4 duplicate portraits, each displaying a different shades/soul patch combination.

Now starting Spirit Hunter: NG. The title screen is unsubtly influenced by Persona 5's design

Attachments:

• Title screen for Spirit Hunter NG. "New Game" and "Options" are displayed in skewed rectangles, slightly jostled letter placement, and black/white color scheme reminiscent of Persona 5's UI. The rest of the screen is drawn as though it were a mirror with a bullet hole in it. The cracks that spread out from the bullet hole divide the space into 5 regions, each of which shows a different character that I'm not yet familiar with. One of them is a kid whose right eye (our left) is glowing red.

I boosted a CW'd toot about this earlier, but posting again for people in the back. Billy Bragg's "Rich Men Earning North of a Million":

There's a little more background on the inspiration for this song.

You gotta respect Matt Mullenweg. Just over there, doing his thing. WordPress is eating the internet; he's just chill about it. Not trying to put anybody out of business. Not posting a bunch of thought leader shit. Not trying to sell checkmarks or some shit. Just like, vibing with his people, off at his own table in the lunchroom, having a better time than anyone, even though nobody thinks they're the cool kids. The total band geek of the internet.
