It's good to hear that some good news is coming out of Albuquerque for once. After the incident happened, were I in the US I may well have been part of the protests that shut down the city council </internet tough guy>.

On the one hand, if I squint I can understand the trigger-happy attitude of the police. ABQ has more than its fair share of violent crime, and I recall hearing about criminal shootings on the news basically once a month. It's a dangerous beat.

That said, the only time I've had a gun pulled on me was when a cop thought I was breaking into a car (fun fact! I was having a breakdown and was crying on the side of the car. It was a fun night). APD over the last few years killed a higher-than-average number of people. And frankly, the types of people who went into the force whom I knew before going into the force aren't the types of people I'd trust to protect and serve without fairly rigid oversight and robust conflict de-escalation training, neither of which that doesn't existed at the time of this incident. I only hope that the DoJ investigation actually changed things, and at the very least I'm glad that the cops are facing some consequences.

Part of me can't help but think that they wouldn't be had James Boyd been Hispanic, though. Or, god forbid, Black.

Take back what I said about understanding where the cops are coming from, kind of.

Can't have accountability for your police forces, that would be absurd

I've been thinking a lot recently about how police officers view their jobs, and if you look at how they behave, they act like nothing more and nothing less than union employees. The idea that police officers have a duty to the public, or that the public has rights that push back against police oversight, or that some amorphous concept called justice ought to prevail over the interests of individual police officers in any circumstance...those ideas don't seem to play any role whatsoever in the behavior of police. They're just clocking in to the factory at the beginning of the day, and clocking out at the end. The idea that a police officer should go to prison for murdering someone while on the clock makes about as much sense to them as if you said someone should go to prison for improperly assembling an air conditioner.

The Big Picture does a good job with a serious episode summarizing a lot of issues I've been having with discussions lately about free speech and satire in general with some good, well-thought-out examples all condensed into a bite-sized five minutes. Thought it was worth sharing in light of the Je Suis Charlie incident AND the recent talk about gamergate on the DL.

Not sure if I posted this one, as it's a few months old. Someone Share'd it again and even on re-read it's one of the funniest, and saddest, articles I've ever read.

Being black in game development.

One of the black female devs stated that she personally hadn't experienced prejudice in her workplace, which sounds awesome. I'm so glad that at least some companies like this exist. She ended the article with this fantastic quote:

"Let's just keep going. I think that everybody wants to keep going. I don't see the industry as a whole sitting there, sticking to their guns, saying, 'We did this on purpose. This is how it's always going to be.' I think that everyone is doing their best right now. We can hope for a lot more, but at the same time, I am cautiously optimistic."
It's just nice to see someone being optimistic about change for once.

If you have a Club Nintendo rewards account, its days are numbered. You have until the end of March to earn coins and until June 30 to redeem them for games. However, there's an all-star list of game rewards to spend points on now; I will be jumping on Zelda, Super Metroid and Super Punch-Out post-haste.

Pikachu's reveal was a "figures" moment, and something not to really be excited over because, well, Pikachu in a Pokemon game! Then the trailer shows off Gardevoir and Suicune and well...I think Elfboy is required to get this game if it is localized and put on console!

Also, Fennekin, Snivy, Emolga and Lapras are assists.

That was certainly an interesting watch. One thing that stood out to me was the end with the splitting an on-coming arrow since I think mythbusters claims to have disproved that feat, but here we have concrete evidence of something much more difficult being do-able? Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but if I'm not, I think this guy just proved their methods are indeed flawed.
