Given HOW she was appointed, Iâm not sure this is entirely in the âgood stuffâ category⌠but, at least partially it is?

I really want to not be cynical about this and worry that theyâre trying to hide something with glossy PR, because it would be so easy to do so, but:
Given all of the awful news coming out of Activision/Blizzard these days, itâs nice to see that some big gaming companies are at least trying to do right by people (Accessibility@Bungie is the fourth Bungie diversity group, as well as Women@Bungie, Black@Bungie, and Trans@Bungie).
Actually, one of the wildest parts of their recent Destiny 2 expansion announcement event was the extent to which they seemed to be silently stressing âwe really canât tell you guys enough that weâre no longer part of Activision and weâre really happy about that and we desperately need you to understand this factâ in all of their â30 years of Bungieâ video snippets. Given that the event was just a week or so after the first lawsuit allegations dropped, their choices of what to highlight and talk about when referring to Bungie as a company were ⌠blatant. But also appreciated, even if they never made any direct statements about their former owners. So like I said, with the caveat that nobody is perfect and bad things probably have happened there in the past, I hope this leads to better and brighter things.
It would certainly seem to be a better response to an industry-wide problem than Activisionâs initial salvo back at the California DFEH about the lawsuit being filed, which read like a Bush-era anti-big-government press release (probably because theyâve hired a bunch of former Bush administration officials in the intervening years) and basically blamed the victims while also saying nothing bad ever happened and if it did it didnât matter because theyâre not like that anymore. It was⌠well it was bad. So very, very bad.

Cool! Like those recently found footprints that suggest people were in whatâs now the U.S. far sooner than thought before.
But,
their lifestyles
(Sorry, itâs probably just me.)

Look we know Neanderthal people had arts and crafts so it makes sense they had a primitive Etsy.

Lifestyles of the solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short. Great show.
They were probably none of the above.

Same actor, different character, I think.
They look âgranola-crunchyâ, like the stereotype of middle-aged hippies.

Newsomâs far from perfect but I canât imagine any of the Republicans who were jockeying to replace him a couple weeks ago would have signed this one into law. The State of California is returning some primo beachfront property to the descendants of a Black family who once ran a resort in the (almost exclusively white) city of Manhattan Beach.
The city illegally seized the property from the family in the 1920s claiming they desperately needed the land for a park that they never ended up building. The Klan burned down other Black-owned property in the area and local whites basically chased out anyone left. The city still hasnât offered any kind of restitution or even an apology.

Nope. Itâs the âenlightened coupleâ who share way Too Much Information and PDA for everyoneâs comfort. Professors perhaps?
Anyway, I thought they always looked a little âcave-dwellerâ to me.

Damn, youâre right. I thought Iâd seen an official apology in the news but that was from the County, not the city. I just found this in an LA times story:
What the hell, man. A formal apology for a clearly wrong action that the city took 100 years ago costs them absolutely nothing. But I guess this is the wrong thread to post an extended rant against the city of Manhattan Beach.
