A 1944 map by geologist Harold Fisk charts a 40-mile stretch of the Mississippi River from Friars Point to Gunnison, Mississippi. Fisk used aerial photos and maps to estimate the past and then-present channels.

Dear Shabana, I notice today that you referred to me in your speech on immigration at the IPPR think tank. You said: “A party leader should not be on the beaches of France encouraging people to make a perilous crossing on small boats.” I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised especially after the hateful Labour campaign in Gorton and Denton, but this is just the latest in a string of lies peddled by a discredited Government who intentionally fan the flames of racism and division. When I went to Calais, I was not there to encourage people to travel to the UK. I was there to see at first hand the suffering your Government and successive Governments have done in demonising migrants in a pathetic bid to pander to the base instincts of Reform and the flawed strategy of Morgan McSweeney. As you will know, if you even bothered to research my visit instead of taking Reform talking points, I was there to witness the brutality of families living in tents in freezing temperatures. I filled water tanks and picked up litter. What that visit did do is confirm my belief that if we are to smash the boat gangs and stop the boats, we need to offer safer and managed routes for migrants to come to this country. Showing compassion as a politician is not a crime. In fact, we need to see much more of it. It reminded me of a young MP who in October 2015 spent three days in Lesbos helping migrants fleeing war-torn Syria. She posted videos on X, talked about handing out water and croissants to refugees and food parcels. When she returned to the UK, she wrote a very moving piece in the New Statesman. She said “we have to work with our European partners and create new, safe, and legal routes for refugees to get to Europe. We cannot abandon them to their fate, left as prey for smugglers whilst risking death on the seas.” She said “maybe we can make ourselves feel better by saying no-one is making them get on the boats. And again, the Home Secretary is not entirely wrong when …
Dear Shabana,
Let's clear some things up around migration and remember we're talking about people's lives.
Edward Shone, head of communications for Proton AG, told 404 Media in an email: “We want to first clarify that Proton did not provide any information to the FBI, the information was obtained from the Swiss justice department via MLAT." Functionally, though, the material was provided to the FBI.

INTRODUCING! Hannah Spencer The new Green MP for GORTON & DENTON Green Party Promoted by Chris Williams on behalf of The Green Party, both at PO Box 78066, London SE16 9GQ
Introducing Hannah Spencer MP 💚
anyone familiar with British politics will know that any news that isn't entirely negative will be closely followed by a sustained bombardment of misery that will make you want to fucking die. but currently it's Friday, it's payday, and the fascists have lost
if there’s any surprise about these results it’s that labour aren’t lower
huge! let’s go!!
only the greens can stop reform, a vote for labour is utterly wasted right now, they are collapsing everywhere
don’t get my hopes up
A screenshot of three 3D armored arms showing object space normals. On the far left, labeled Base, is an arm with smooth color gradients. In the middle, labeled Posterize, is the same arm with fewer colors in big bands. On the right, labeled Smudge, is the posterized normal map with smudges to turn it into something that looks painted.
In case anyone's interested, this is the process I'm using to generate normals for the painterly portfolio project I'm working on. This is in Substance Painter, but you could also do it in Photoshop or 3D Coat
I convert them to tangent space after the fact, but you could also do that in a shader
Big news! 🎉
My second Gaelic horror game Grease Trap ’99 just got funding from Creative Scotland’s Open Fund!
Retro PS1-style horror set in a Scottish chippy. Fully voice-acted in Gaelic. You’re frying fish, making curry sauce, taking orders… while something malevolent grows beneath the surface 👀🐟
So the BBC promised Davidson and StudioCanal (who made I Swear) that any swearing tics would be edited out from broadcast, and instead they left them in despite a two hour delay, and even put a fucking microphone right in front of him to ensure they picked it up - he was sat at the back of room.
(trying to market my game) um, have you heard of austria? Uh, yeah I guess it's sort of like germany. it's a bit different though. do you know about its history? oh. no that's ok. um. you dont have to. well it's not like that at all really its fiction. but. the characters - they say "oida".
this piece is the first one in my loose series I’m hoping to do this year about women, writing, and games. I’d love to speak to more women game writers/developers about their work and experiences!
