New overwatch lore came out and if it couldn't get any worse for Pharah, Helix is working with Oasis to enforce the "anticrime-ai-predictive model" in Morocco and its basically minority report... and Pharah still talks positively about Helix so. Genuinely I hate this. My rewrite will take out this horrible portrayal for Pharah(recast her VA NOW and make the VA actually Egyptian or from an indigenous nation that can represent Pharah’s father's side). How do you make Pharah enforce a POLICE STATE with her background. How is that a hero, let alone an optumistic future.

:(

It's also pretty much confirmed the Wayfinders Society was outbought by Oasis for the items the Wayfinders Society uncovered, which implies the Wayfinders Society ISN'T a finding+recovery effort of returning artifacts to the countries of origin, rather, the Wayfinders Society is most likely a "the adventure of finding treasure!!!" WHICH IS SO BIZZARRE CONSIDERING De:Classified mentioned the efforts of returning artifacts to the countries of origin as if THAT'S what the Wayfinders Society is about????

And this now makes sense. Venture is canonically a swash-buckling adventurer, but directly inspired by Indiana Jones-- and the idiots that wrote this don't realize that is PILLAGING and colonizing behavior to STEAL artifacts/treat cultural artifacts like treasure to pillage for. And to use arrow heads as the icon too???? Gross is an understatement. Indigenous people have been denied thier family's works, heirlooms, and artwork bc American museums refuse to allow indigenous people even SEE the items. They are stored away in boxes, collecting dust. It's a disgrace, and I would think since De:Classified mentioned this issue, an optumistic future would work to rectify this disrespect in the story.

It's such an honest let down for Venture's character... I wanted an archeologist that was exited about the HUMANITY within artifacts, and to bring that joy of celebrating culture to expanding Omnic lore. I absolutely did NOT want Venture/Wayfinders Society seeing the artifacts as some simple object exciting to find bc fame, money, or some detached history fun fact-aholic. If it was dinosaur bones, that's totally fine for having it be a "ooo treasure!!!! Did you know? (Insert fun fact)" hype but it is NOT okay to do that with cultural artifacts. For some reason in Overwatch, Greek artifacts have been taken out of Greece and are now in the Temple of Anubis. Venture is pillaging. HOW is that a hero. :/

It's actually super gross that Overwatch portrayed Greece as the 'low tech' map, portrayed it only as the tourist sections (that is not authentic Greek life, plus the maps mix up completely different areas of Greece together) and then not making a Greek hero despite the map and even Greek myth bp theme, and THEN having the gall to make Venture "save the artifacts from Talon bc no one else will!" (with horrible rep of artifact handling and collection mind you) as if the native residents don't exist. WHERE ARE THE GREEK PEOPLE. Did Greece get gentrified by Eastern Europe in overwatch???? Is Greece just a hollow shell of tourist traps bc all the natives left bc of economic disparity after the omnic crisis? (The Phillipines was hit hard, so was Spain and Portugal but they had the wall, so I can imagine Greece was hit hard too)????? That's genuinely so dystopian lmafo

And FYI, irl the British museum still refuses to return artifacts to Greece bc the people in charge ARE racist and think Greeks can't take care of thier own artifacts. So. I can not state how much the Venture comic pisses me off, having a non-native come in, state that no one is there to save the artifacts, and then take the artifacts outside of Greece while mishandling them (you do not drill into ruins, it would shatter terracotta. You do not barehand handle artifacts. Etc.)

Can overwatch make a Greek hero already so I can draw them giving the Wayfinders Society and Talon the middlefinger for pillaging Greek artifacts? Thanks.

Venture Overwatch, I will save you from this bs writting I refuse to have Overwatch's first trans rep be pillaging artifacts they should be PROTECTING.

HI HI HIHI MY LAST POST WAS AB CHUBY MYSTERION,,, SO I BRING TO U

— 🫐 chubbie mysterion x superhero!reader 🦴 (hcs)

cws/tws: none, just please don’t fetishize this post as it’s weird 🤦‍♀️ also this is not in any way supposed to be nsfw, and pleas don’t take it as such, i initially wanted to write it as his original age but i didn’t specify it in the fic so you could read it in any age interpretation you want

meeting mysterion was a treat for u!! after your team meeting with his, you bump into eachother and you feel his SOFTNESS,,, immediately fall in love.

well obvi your not with him jus for his weight,, he’s brooding and smart n cute and GGRA!! everytime you meet with an enemy of yours he’s always swooping in if the enemy brings on too big of an attack.

after a few months you guys just click with eachother and your CLINGING to eachother, like two velcro stuffies.

making sus jokes to him and him subtly laughing under his breath>:) calling him all these kind of vulgarities

when he finally asks you to be his partner-in-anticrime (ba dum tss) you immediately say yes and kiss him wherever is available.

all superhero’s have weaknesses, and mysterion is a little insecure about his weight.. that won’t happen around you!!

always hugging him from behind all giddy and making a honk sound out of love, getting him all blushy 🫶🫶🫶

when y’all r alone you always rant about how cute he is even if he thinks his chubbyness holds him back from being a real hero, sweet nothings is all that falls out of your mouth

squeezing his tummy even if it isn’t that chub, you js love ur amazing brave hero bf 🎀

laying on his legs after a long night of protecting the city, just ends up with him trying to cover up his flushed face cuz his partner loves him sm (who doesn’t?!!2¥]]2)

always reassuring him there’s nothing wrong with his body and it’s normal for his age because of puberty, jokingly smooching his fluffiest parts

if your chubby too, you guys would have venting sessions just to bond and reconcile with eachother, ending up with teary hugs n kisses

always making sure he eats right, the last thing you want is your pookie getting sick and you have no more partner to destroy prof chaos!!

if anyone (COUGH. RACOON) makes fun of mysterion for his weight or chubbi ness no matter how chubby mysterion may be you will always beat tf out of them.

C: WOOWWW—nice, mysterion! putting on a couple pounds? too stressful? wellllll just leave it up to ME to save the city then! >:)

u!!: friendly fire will not be tolerated (rocks his shit)

never letting mysterion be sad near you in sight!! and if he ever feels the need to repress his emotions to keep up his mysterious persona, your always there to pull him aside and let him sob into his arms for as long as he needs.

always cuddling him super tight in the night because everyone needs a teddy bear in their life!! and if your chubby too the both of you will cling onto eachother 🫶

the compliments are not only one sided, if you ever feel insecure about being too skinny or too chubby he’ll always stop to take your hands in his or do something randomly poetic to make you swoon further and holds you close for the rest of the day/night

annoying nicknames you give him drive him nuts (in a good way, bur he hates actually saying he likes it) like honey bun, pookie, knight in purple armor. but obviously you won’t call him anything that relates to his weight, regardless (it just feels wrong)

you don’t talk about his weight too much, but you admire him for being so amazing and pushing thru !!!

WILL NEVER STOP TALKINF ABOUR CHUBBY MYSTERION. EVER SINC I SAW THAT VIDEO/DRAWINF I GO NUTS HES SO ADORABLE ☹️,,,

Before this column ends, we’ll get to the unmissable fact that anti-Israel, often antisemitic, protests are proliferating at what we amusingly choose to call our most “selective” universities—Columbia, Yale, New York University, Stanford, Berkeley. For the moment, add these North Face tent protests on $75,000-a-year campus quads to the sense among the American public that their country is running off the rails.

A list of the phenomena laying us low includes: wokeness, DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion), defund the police (a depressing subset of wokeness), conspiracy theories, head-in-the-sand isolationism and a self-centered political polarization typified—from left to right—by Reps. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, Ilhan Omar, Cori Bush, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz and Lauren Boebert.

Ironically this time of year is associated with hope, amid spring and college graduations—except at the University of Southern California, which, fearing trouble, canceled its commencement speakers and told honorary-degree recipients not to show up.

Setting silenced USC aside, a hopeful note one hears at college commencements is that the American system is self-correcting, that despite recurrent stress, it always rights itself. Opinion polls suggest few believe this anymore but—happy spring—it looks as if we may be on the brink of a real counter-revolt against the craziness.

Last week in the hopelessly gridlocked House, Republican Speaker Mike Johnson, facing threats to his job from the chaos caucus, cast his lot with the enough-is-enough caucus. The House passed bills to sustain allies in Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. Congress isn’t dead—yet.

Blue states and cities that looked willing to collapse rather than defend their citizens have begun to push back against progressives’ pro-criminal and antipolice movements.

At the urging of Gov. Kathy Hochul, New York’s just-passed state budget includes measures to crack down on shoplifting. Assaulting a retail worker will be a felony. Larceny charges can be based on the total goods stolen from different stores. Progressives in the state’s Legislature opposed the measures. Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker, elected in January on restoring law and order (yes, it can be a Democratic issue), last week announced a plan to support policing in the most crime- and drug-plagued neighborhoods.

March seemed to be a tipping point. The hyperprogressive Council of the District of Columbia, in a city that had become an embarrassing carjacking hellhole, passed an array of anticrime measures. Oregon’s Legislature voted to reverse the state’s catastrophic three-year experiment with drug decriminalization. San Francisco voters approved two measures proposed by, of all people, Mayor London Breed, to ease restrictions on policing and require drug screening for welfare recipients. The results in Los Angeles County’s primary for district attorney strongly suggest progressive George Gascón will be voted out in November.

In all these places, the reversals by elected officials are driven by the prospect of voters’ turning them out of office. That is the U.S. political system trying to right itself.

In California, a safety coalition has collected about 900,000 signatures to reverse parts of Proposition 47, the state’s now-notorious 2014 decision to reduce some theft felonies to misdemeanors. This week, the U.S. Supreme Court’s conservative majority appeared sympathetic to overturning a Ninth Circuit decision that bars cities and towns from enforcing vagrancy laws. Though the case emerged from Grants Pass, Ore., which is trying to ban homeless encampments, about three dozen elected officials and organizations in California filed briefs arguing that the Ninth Circuit’s ruling made cleaning up the streets almost impossible.

News stories since the start of the year have noted that many private companies are rethinking policies on DEI, partly under legal pressure, such as the Supreme Court’s decision last year to strike down the use of race in college admissions.

Some in the corporate DEI movement thought they were immune to restraints. No longer. Companies are rediscovering that the constituency most needing inclusion is their customers. The loudest shot across the bow came last week, when Google fired 28 employees after some staged sit-in protests at its New York and California offices over a contract with Israel’s government. Google’s firing statement describes “completely unacceptable behavior.” No one saw that coming.

All this adds up to a nascent counter-revolt against America’s lurch toward self-destruction. The exception is elite U.S. universities. Their leadership has seen itself as answerable to no one and politically immune.

Robert Kraft, a Columbia grad and owner of the New England Patriots, said this week he will no longer give the school money “until corrective action is taken.”

If big donors ever regain control of these so-called selective schools, a suggestion: Firing the president won’t close the barn door. Instead, fire the admissions office. What a tragedy to think how many serious high-school students were rejected by Columbia, Yale and NYU, edged out by nonuseful idiots whose chosen major is the political structure of re-education camps.

Someone has to be a lagging indicator, and these schools are it.

Detidos irmãos supeitos de pertencerem a célula de tráfico de droga em Ponta Delgada

Um homem ficou em prisão preventiva por ser suspeito de ser "o principal mentor" de uma célula de tráfico de droga, em Ponta Delgada, nos Açores, numa operação onde a irmã foi também detida, revelou a PSP.

Segundo o Comando Regional da PSP nos Açores, o homem e a irmã, com 45 e 36 anos, estão "fortemente indiciados pela prática do crime de tráfico de estupefacientes", tendo por base "uma célula de tráfico de droga instalada na freguesia de São Pedro", no bairro das Laranjeiras, no concelho de Ponta Delgada, na ilha de São Miguel.

"De acordo com as informações e indícios recolhidos pelos investigadores da brigada anticrime, foi possível associar a uma determinada residência localizada no Bairro das Laranjeiras um conjunto de factos que configuravam um cenário de continuação da consumação do crime em investigação", descreve a PSP, num comunicado.

A investigação decorreu ao longo das várias semanas, culminando com uma operação policial que permitiu detetar "a transação de droga".

A polícia realizou ainda uma busca domiciliária no interior da residência dos suspeitos, tendo sido apreendidas "aproximadamente 130 doses de droga sintética, 1.000 euros e outros objetos relacionados com o crime sob investigação".

O homem, o "principal mentor do esquema criminoso", ficou em prisão preventiva e a irmã, "principal colaboradora", ficou proibida de contactar com toxicodependentes e obrigada a frequentar um programa de desintoxicação, adianta a PSP.

A mãe dos suspeitos foi também constituída arguida.

Ministro autoriza realização de audiências de custódia por videoconferência durante a pandemia

Para o ministro Nunes Marques, a proibição incluída no CPP pela Lei Anticrime é desproporcional e contraria atos legislativos que favorecem medidas de isolamento social. Continue reading Ministro autoriza realização de audiências de custódia por videoconferência durante a pandemia

[schoje]

O Senado aprovou hoje (18) um projeto de lei (PL) que permite a retomada das audiências de custódia por videoconferência durante a pandemia. Elas estavam permitidas até abril, quando a derrubada de vetos pelo Congresso ao pacote anticrime as tornou proibidas, decisão criticada pelo presidente do Supremo Tribunal Federa (STF), Luiz Fux. O projeto segue para a Câmara dos Deputados. A relatora do projeto, Simone Tebet (MDB-MS), explicou em seu parecer que a videoconferência será adotada quando não for possível a realização da audiência, em 24 horas, de forma presencial. Ela destacou se tratar de uma medida excepcional, para ser implementada durante a pandemia do coronavírus. “Trata-se de um importante passo a ser dado a fim de assegurar que as audiências de custódia não sejam esvaziadas, adaptando-se esse instrumento a um novo formato emergencial sem, contudo, diminuir as garantias e os direitos assegurados ao preso”. Desde 2016, a realização da audiência de custódia é obrigatória. Dessa forma, o preso deve ser levado ao juiz responsável pelas audiências no prazo de 24 horas após a prisão pela polícia. O magistrado avalia a necessidade da manutenção da prisão e poderá determinar que o preso seja solto e cumpra uma medida cautelar, como o uso de tornozeleira eletrônica. * Com informações da Agência Senado

Walking with Ghosts in Seattle

As Washington's largest city, Seattle has many neighborhoods with their own paranormal heritage, and the group Advanced Ghost Hunters of Seattle-Tacoma (or AGHOST) leads excellent walks through two of them. One of the prestigious Capitol Hill neighborhood, and the other is Seattle's seamier piers and docks.

AGHOST gives these tours for many reasons: to raise funds for equipment, to increase the group's visibility, and to educate the public about the paranormal. Local businesses help sponsor these tours by selling tickets and acting as starting points, but AGHOST members volunteer as researchers and tour guides. Before volunteers can guide a tour, however, they have to pass an examination during which they must demonstrate their knowledge of local history and ghost hunting.

Their Pier Walk is the most popular tour, perhaps because Seattle's seamier stories are more appealing. It's a two-hour walk with over twenty-stops and cover both haunts and unusual historic places in Seattle's history.

One of the more interesting haunts on the tour is Kells Irish Pub, formerly the bottom floor of the Butterworth Funeral Home. Yes, the pub where people currently enjoy pints and lively conversation used to be the place from which the dead would be transported to their final resting places. (E. R. Butterworth was supposedly the inventor of the terms "mortuary" and "mortician.")

Before the bottom floor was converted into Kells, a plumber lifted up the floorboards to repair some pipes and found piles of ashes and dirt underneath. Was it regular ash and dirt, or perhaps residue left by some clumsy mortician from the past?

Sloopy morticians don't seem to anger the spirit haunting Kells, which is more mischievous than frightening. Candles sometimes burst into flame on their own, customers find drink stirrers in their hair, and locked doors are sometimes found open. According to Ross Allison, founder AGHOST, some customers have reported seeing the spirit of a little boy. Others have heard the sound of a child's laughter after some of these spirited pranks.

A Kells manager told Ross about an experience he had with a writer who was interviewing him. The writer brought her daughter along, and as the adults talked, the child wandered away. The two of them eventually went searching for the girl and found her in a back room, holding a conversation with an imaginary friend. The mother grabbed her child and left, never finishing the interview.

One evening Ross told this story to his tour group, and pointed to the back room. The door opened a crack, just wife enough to admit a child, and then closed. Ross looked at the at the tour group, saying "I had nothing to do with that." They continued with the tour, and just before they left, they heard a child's laugh.

The Capitol Hill tour starts at the Harvard Exit Theater. It was built in 1924 as the home of the Women's Century Club, which was founded by Bertha Knight Landes, Seattle's first and so far only woman mayor. She was elected in 1926 on an anticrime platform, and despite her success in cleaning up corruption in Seattle (or perhaps because of it) she wasn't reelected. She championed both women's and social issues throughout her life, and after her death in 1945 her organization launched many programs that helped shape Seattle.

In 1969, the Women's Century Club sold the building, which was converted into the Havard Exit Theater. As part of the sales agreement, the lobby was to stay the same as when the Women's Century Club sold it. The club still meets there twice a month, and in the winter, they arrange their chairs in front of the large fireplace.

The woman who worked as the theater manager during the '70s was usually the last person to leave the theater at night, and always made sure there was no fire burning in the fireplace and that the chairs were returned to their proper place. But the next morning she'd often open the theater to find that the chairs in the lobby had been arranged around the fireplace as if an intimate meeting had been held there. One time, she found coals and a partially burned log in the fireplace, indicating that a fire had been burning there overnight.

While many people dismiss these incidents as the products of lively imaginations, there have been witnesses to these occurrences from the news media. One AGHOST tour guide, Danny, gave a tour and interview for a local television station around Halloween. While she told stories of the Harvard Exit Theater and Bertha Landes, a window behind her started to shake. The television camera captured this. There was no earthquake, and even stranger, only one window was shaking. An earthquake or another natural case would have made all the windows hake, but a ghost might content itself with shaking just one!

Antigua and Barbuda have had an Extradition Act for approximately 20 years, along with bilateral extradition and mutual legal assistance treaties with the United States. The US Department of State has expressed concerns about the country being used as a trans-shipment point for narcotics traffickers due to its proximity to the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico. To combat these issues, the US and Antigua and Barbuda have signed various counternarcotic and anticrime treaties and agreements, including a maritime law enforcement agreement, bilateral extradition treaty, and mutual legal assistance treaty. The original Extradition Act was signed in 1993, followed by the Extradition Treaty between Antigua and Barbuda and the US in June 1996. The treaty was ratified in October 1997, solidifying its entry into force with respect to Antigua and Barbuda. In 2000, the parliament of Antigua and Barbuda passed the Extradition Treaty Ratification Act to further enforce the treaty with the US. These efforts are part of a series of modern Mutual Legal Assistance Treaties negotiated by the US to enhance the prosecution of various crimes, including white-collar crime and drug trafficking offenses. President Clinton highlighted the effectiveness of the Treaty with Antigua and Barbuda in assisting with the prosecution of criminal activities in a statement to the Senate in 1997. The Treaties are self-executing and are intended to be valuable tools in combating serious offenders, particularly narcotics traffickers. The Treaty with Antigua and Barbuda, signed in 1996, was accompanied by an exchange of diplomatic notes that relate to Article 1 of the Treaty and are an integral part of the agreement. These legal assistance relationships aim to enhance the US's ability to prosecute offenders across various crimes. The Extradition Treaty between Antigua and Barbuda and the US is part of the broader effort by both countries to address criminal activities effectively. The treaty provides a framework for extradition and legal assistance in prosecuting offenders involved in drug trafficking and other serious crimes. By ratifying and enforcing the treaty, both countries are strengthening their collaboration in combating criminal activities and enhancing law enforcement efforts. This partnership demonstrates a commitment to upholding justice and ensuring that offenders are held accountable for their actions. Overall, the Extradition Treaty between Antigua and Barbuda and the US plays a crucial role in countering criminal activities in both countries. The treaty, along with other counternarcotic and anticrime agreements, provides a legal framework for extradition and mutual legal assistance to prosecute offenders involved in drug trafficking and other serious offenses. By ratifying the treaty and enacting related legislation, both countries are working together to combat transnational crime, enhance law enforcement cooperation, and uphold justice. The partnership between Antigua and Barbuda and the US demonstrates a commitment to fighting criminal activities and ensuring that offenders are brought to justice.

Trump Promises More Activist Government

As he campaigns to retake the White House, Donald Trump has increasingly tossed aside the principles of limited government and local control that have defined the Republican Party for decades,” the Wall Street Journal reports.

“The former president is laying plans to wield his executive authority to influence school curricula, prevent doctors from providing medical interventions for young transgender people and pressure police departments to adopt more severe anticrime policies. All are areas where state or local officials have traditionally taken the lead.”

“It is a governing platform barely recognizable to prior generations of Republican politicians, who campaigned against one-size-fits-all federal dictates and argued that state legislators, mayors and town halls were best positioned to oversee their communities. While many of his proposals would be difficult to achieve, the second-term agenda outlined by Trump could require waves of new federal intervention, even as he calls for firing government workers, neutering the “deep state” and cutting regulations.”

Cinco detidos em Ponta Delgada por suspeitas de tráfico de droga

Três homens e duas mulheres foram detidos em Ponta Delgada, na ilha de São Miguel, por suspeitas da prática do crime de tráfico de droga, informou hoje a Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP).

Segundo o Comando Regional da Polícia de Segurança Pública (PSP) dos Açores, os suspeitos foram detidos através da Esquadra de Investigação Criminal da Divisão Policial de Ponta Delgada, no âmbito de um inquérito dirigido por um magistrado do Ministério Público.

A polícia adiantou em comunicado que "foram desenvolvidas inúmeras diligências investigatórias pela brigada anticrime da Esquadra de Investigação Criminal da PSP ao longo de sete meses, as quais permitiram descortinar uma rede de traficantes de vários tipos de estupefacientes e substâncias psicotrópicas".

"Com base nas provas recolhidas pela PSP foi montada uma operação policial de grande envergadura, com o reforço de uma Equipa de Intervenção Rápida, meios cinotécnicos da Unidade Especial de Polícia e, ainda, peritos técnico forenses, tendo sido cumpridas duas buscas domiciliárias e oito buscas não domiciliárias", acrescentou.

No âmbito da operação foram apreendidas 660 doses de droga sintética, 272 doses de haxixe, liamba, um automóvel, 3.560 euros e outros objetos relacionados com a alegada atividade criminosa.

Os suspeitos foram presentes ao Tribunal de Ponta Delgada para primeiro interrogatório judicial, tendo três ficado em prisão preventiva, um ficou sujeito a termo de identidade e residência e outro em prisão domiciliária.
