“We know that progress for human rights has never been linear … but today’s backlash is deep and it is coordinated and the persecution of LGBTIQ+ people around the world is escalating at an alarming rate,” he said during an U.N. LGBTI Core Group event that took place on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly.

Today’s game is Assassin’s Creed Liberation. I finished Assassin’s Creed 3 today along with all the DLCs. My child hood self feels a sense of pride at that I suppose. It’s like this big beast I thought unslayable had been taken down.

As for Liberation, I’m fucking loving this. It shows that it’s a PS Vita game in some areas but besides that it’s really good.

I especially love the Persona System. It really contributes to the social stealth in a way I love and I wish we had gotten more. I love having specific outfits that work in specific niches. It almost reminds me of the first game and how you had to stalk enemies for information on the target. I do wish it had been used in that way more here though. It feels like the pieces are there but the final concept isn’t.

I’d love to be able to scout out a target ahead of time in one persons and then break in as another and finish the job. Granted, maybe there’s some technical limitations I’m missing here.

I got as far as Sequence 2 before stopping. I want to go back for more tomorrow so I hope I will. I’m also digging the Animus theme here. It reminds me of like a PowerPoint theme from the 2010s I remember vividly growing up.

I feel like I've seen an uptick in articles posted here that are covering cyclists or pedestrians getting killed in car crashes. I understand that this community is centered around our hatred for cars but seeing a constant feed of deaths by cars isn't really what I want. I would prefer memes, discussions on how to improve things, and articles about policy etc instead of an endless stream of daily deaths.

How do you feel about these posts?

trans social worker was awarded $35,000 after a workplace hiring process required him to share his deadname. So what does your employer legally have a right to know?

Hat sicher nichts damit zu tun, dass Thiel dem Döpfner-Bub coole 50 Millionen für dessen Investmentfonds gegeben hat. Bestimmt nicht.

Poland has affirmed that China is obligated to comply with the 2016 South China Sea Arbitral Award, adding another European voice to calls for respect for the landmark ruling that upheld key Philippine maritime rights.

The statement reinforces the Philippines’ position that the arbitral award remains legally binding under international law. The ruling, issued in 2016 under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, rejected the legal basis of China’s claim to historic rights over resources within the so-called nine-dash line.

The award also clarified the maritime entitlements of several features in the South China Sea and found that China had breached Philippine sovereign rights in areas within the Philippines’ exclusive economic zone.

China, however, has continued to reject the ruling, maintaining that it is “null and void” and that it does not accept or recognize the tribunal’s decision.

...

Poland’s position adds to the growing list of countries that have expressed support for the arbitral award and the broader principle that disputes in the South China Sea should be addressed in accordance with international law.

For Manila, the 2016 decision remains a central reference in its diplomatic and maritime position in the West Philippine Sea, particularly as tensions and competing claims continue in the region.

...

Poland’s latest statement therefore puts renewed attention on the legal framework governing the South China Sea, with the Philippines continuing to invoke the arbitral award as the basis for its maritime rights.
